The MTW Japan Support Team (a.k.a. "HQ Team") supports our diverse field of 8 MTW teams in practical administrative ways (finance, housing, immigration, and legal support), as well as being a type of “greenhouse” to help grow and foster new and developing ministries across Japan such as RUF Japan campus ministries. We also support missionaries who are in transition and preparing for a new role.
RUF Tokyo is a Christian campus ministry that exists to reach students with the hope of Jesus and the truth of the gospel. RUF Tokyo seeks to be a friendly Christ-centered community for the convinced and the unconvinced, the churched and un-churched, the burned, the bored, and the run-down. It is a place to bring your doubts and your questions to understand more about Christianity and to experience the person and work of Jesus Christ.
RUF missionaries are ordained campus ministers and female campus staff who have been called to long-term ministry overseas. RUF Global ministry teams also include recent college graduates who are committed to serving two-year internships.
