RTB JapanJapan Chapter About The Chapter | About the Director About the ChapterActivities for the Japan branch of RTB began in 1995 with the translation of the paper, "Astronomical Evidences For The God Of The Bible" into Japanese. In January 1996, Hugh Ross made his first trip to Japan to be the key speaker at the Hayama Missionary Seminar, an annual 2 day seminar for missionaries from a wide variety of denominational and theological perspectives. That report is available in the Hayama Seminar publication, which documents the presentations and discussions held at each seminar. Dr. Ross has been in Japan for speaking tours five times since then, once for a brief stop-over in October 1996 on the way back from Hong Kong, and followed by a week-long series of speaking engagements in January 1998. That tour was timed to promote the release of the Japanese translation of The Creator And The Cosmos, and the tour included numerous speaking engagements in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Kobe. Harvest Time Ministries featured a 30-minute interview with Dr. Ross that was broadcast nationally, and the response from listeners for the book was the greatest single response they had ever had. Dr. Ross' 4th tour was in May 1999, which featured speaking engagements at Japan’s premier university, the University of Tokyo. His fifth tour was in June 2000 to promote the release of the Japanese translations of both the book The Genesis Question and the video, Journey Towards Creation, with major presentations in Osaka, Yokohama and Tokyo. His most recent tour was in May 2007, where he spoke at 16 venues in Fukuoka, Osaka and the Tokyo area to a total of some 1500 people. (Picture)

LocationAddress: 5-22-23 Mikage Yamate, Higashi Nada-ku, Kobe, Japan 658-0065 After spending 21 years in Tsukuba Science City, Japan's premier science and technology center, Tim is now in the Osaka/Kobe area, where he has become a full professor in the economics department of Kwansei Gakuin University since 2009. KGU is a major university that was begun by Methodist missionaries 120+ years ago, and now has well over 20,000 students. It is located in Nishinomiya, a city located between the two major cities of Osaka and Kobe. With no academic background in economics, I'm obviously not qualified to teach economics per se, but my classes are in Christian studies, ethics and religion (including chapel talks), all done in Japanese (except for the one English class I teach). Also, I have been doing seminars in the science department as well on science/faith issues. Links
