Forty years ago, the “edges” of mission were relatively clear. Unreached people groups were primarily mapped geographically, pioneering missions meant long journeys to faraway lands, and “access” was defined by political and physical barriers. But in today’s hyper-connected, globalized, and mobile world, the edges are not just geographical or based on ethnicity—they can be everywhere. That said, despite major progress, the frontier task remains. There are still more than 2 billion people with no known access to a viable, contextual gospel witness.1

From June 9–11, A3/Japan partnered with VisionSynergy to host a dynamic Catalyst Training workshop, equipping leaders across Japan to foster greater missionary collaboration. This training wasn’t just theoretical—it was birthed out of a shared vision that emerged during our time at the 4th Lausanne Congress (L4) and JCE7. At both gatherings, a key message rang loud and clear: mission cooperation is essential for the future of the global Church.
But the real question remains: How do we actually collaborate well in Japan’s mission context?
