In the final episode of "Uncovering Japan" on theServe Asia Podcast, host Chris Watts reflects on conversations with OMF workers during travel through Japan in 2025, asking what their stories mean for listeners.

He highlights that missionaries are ordinary people who feel fear and self-doubt, illustrated by AJ and a Japanese pastor agreeing to be "terrified together," and argues that fear can sit alongside obedience.

Stories from Liz, John and Birita Timothy, and others show that calling is often gradual--growing awareness of Japan's spiritual need (fewer than 1% Christian), prayer, counsel from church and OMF, and taking the next step, including "come and see."
