Background Info:

The Wilding family served in Japan from 1993-2001. They worked in partnership with the Japanese Church, and their primary focus was evangelism. Their basic philosophy of ministry was that the strongest witness to a Japanese non-Christian is a Japanese Christian; therefore, Japanese partners were involved with all of their outreach ministries. Some of their outreach efforts have included: English classes, Bible studies, cooking classes, college ministry, taking groups abroad and building personal relationships. Though they are now living and working in Texas, the Wildings remain committed to Asian Access! They had much to say about their life in Japan:
