What are they?
They are groups of 3-4 people who meet up once a week through Skype on the Internet. Each group has a leader or coordinator, and the group leader conducts the Bible study and prayer times as they see best. The other people in your group will be other JCF members who may be living in different parts of Japan. These groups are a great way to meet new people, fellowship, encourage and uplift one another.
What does a leader do?
The leader of a Bible study and prayer group is basically the coordinator of the group. As the leader, it will be up to you to decide how you would like to conduct your group’s weekly meetings to suit the dynamics and needs of the group members. Some groups use the time to chat and pray for each other as well as taking turns weekly to share something about what God has spoken to them, etc. As a leader you may like to prepare a Bible study every week or have the members take turns. This will be up to you. You can also discuss this with the members in your group and go from there. If you are interested in leading a Bible study and prayer group, please contact
Carter Scott.
How can you join?
If you are interested in joining or leading one of these groups, please send your name, prefecture, and the day and time you are able to meet up (people generally meet about 8pm Mon-Thurs) to
Carter Scott and he will put you into a group with people who are able to meet at a similar time. It would be great to have you on board and we hope and pray these groups will be a blessing to you all!
