Revealing Jesus to Japanese students through the art of friendship.

What is Project Rising Son?

Engaging in foreign missions without leaving home

Every year, thousands of Japanese college students come to the US for school and to experience American culture.  We invite people to open their homes and lives to host students while they attend school and display their faith in their everyday lives.

Planting seeds in a foreign land by building relationships

Strong relationships are crucial for change.  By building bonds with students and allowing them to witness how we live out our faith, we help them create a strong foundation for life after school in Japan.

Equipping hosts to meet the needs of Japanese students

Japanese culture is rich, beautiful, complex, and very different from our own.  Our goal is to give hosts a basic understanding of Japanese culture and the tools they need to best serve Japanese students.

Hosting > Housing

What if you have a heart to serve Japanese students but lack the ability to open your home? Hosting is more than just housing a student, it is making them feel welcome in your community.  We invite anyone with a heart to serve Japanese students to get involved and discover ways to build impactful relationships with students.
