Seven modern-day spiritual Samurai warriors have gathered near Tokyo station to begin their ministry training.
It marked the relaunch of a major training initiative, known as the Samurai Projects, which seeks to raise up the next generation of Bible-teaching servant leaders for the land of the rising sun.
Most people in the West only encounter the Samurai in Hollywood films, but those medieval warriors are still renowned for their righteous character, heroic courage, and extreme loyalty to their master. Director James Ballinger said: ‘Such virtues are essential for all those who seek to follow the greatest master of all: the Lord Jesus Christ’.
