Why Missions Matter — Lessons from Osaka & the Call to Go

After visiting our missionaries and church planters in Osaka, Japan, Pr Kenneth Chin and Pr Sandra Chin return with a renewed conviction about the true heart of missions. In this episode of the Chin Up Show, Pr Kenneth shares why missions are essential to our Christian faith — not an option, but a calling. He reflects on his time with Pr Ben-ji and Pr Michelle of Acts Osaka, drawing powerful lessons about obedience, sacrifice, and the continual relevance of the Great Commission. Missions is more than traveling or doing good works; it is about answering God’s call to bring the Gospel to every nation, culture, and generation.Pr Kenneth also provides practical guidance on how believers can prepare for mission trips — spiritually, emotionally, and relationally — and what we should do when we’re on the field. The world is waiting, and the Church must go. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19).
