Tokyo Drift
We believe God places certain dreams on our hearts. Owen, a “experiencing culture” youtuber who recently moved to Tokyo, always dreamed of drifting in Japan, he loves cars / adventures. So we started there and sought God daily:
“God help us make something of eternal value, help us to be bold with the gospel in this video and our lives, help us to reach a secular audience who truly needs to know you!”
And WOW, God moved powerfully. Not only did we partner with the King to create a gospel-centered video that reached a secular audience, but we also personally experienced God’s transformative work in our own lives.
Beyond the video itself, we had the privilege of deeply sharing life with four unbelievers: telling them about Jesus, taking them to church, lunch, baptisms, theme parks, etc.
We also got to pour into and disciple a local Japanese creator "Seven" who accompanied us on the video shoot, learning firsthand how to experience God’s power in his life and his art.
By the end of the trip, the impact was evident. Japanese pastor Kento was deeply moved by our work in Japan and invited us to spend time together to further discuss our mission.
This trip now serves as a blueprint for what we hope to do with creators all around the world: help them seek God / encounter His power personally, use their creative gifts to bring people to Jesus, and ultimately see lives transformed :)
