Greetings wonderful listeners, this is Jon from The Art of Ministry Podcast. 

Welcome to a trailer for something quite exciting; The Art of Ministry Podcast recently went to Japan, taking in such places as Tokyo, Kyoto and Electric Town... all culminating in a final journey to the World Expo Osaka! 

On the way, plenty of amazing art was seen, and some fascinating examples of Christian history in Japan. One of the questions I was interested in was: what can we learn from this very different culture about how they use the arts... and what might be some interesting possibilities for the church? 

So grab your rucksack and come along on a journey through Japan as we look at learnings that God has provided. I look forward to journeying with you very soon in 'The Japan Diaries'.
