Language: Language learning is required, and language proficiency will be evaluated after the first year. For near culture missionaries (such as those from Asia), language learning takes at least 1 year if studied full time, and for far culture missionaries, it could take up to 2 years. Therefore, we strongly advise those coming to attain a JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) N5 level before arriving in Japan.

Driving Licence: We require to have driving licence before coming to Japan, the international license is only valid for the first year so they need to transfer to Japanese driving license within the first year.

Working In Teams: All new missionaries must be willing to work within a team; to serve, learn, and grow together. As our teams are made up of people from different cultures and theological backgrounds, an open attitude and willingness to accept one other within the team are vital. You will also need to be flexible in your expectations, and willing to learn to do things "outside the box" of what you think ministry is supposed to look like. As OM Japan, we are looking at creative approaches to reach this least reached nation.
