Churches Helping Churches Executive Director, Tom Kim:

There are roughly 8,000 churches in Japan, and many of these congregations have less than 50 people. The northern region, Tohoku, is the closest to the epicenter of earthquake and subsequent tsunami. It has fewer churches and is a tight-knit community. With less than 1 percent of the population following Jesus Christ, Japan is one of the least-Christian countries in the developed world. It thus goes without saying that each church is of critical importance.
