“I wanted you to actually be there to see these people, to see how lost without hope they are, because I want you to go back eventually.”
During a six-week trip to Japan through the IM, Inc. College Mission Program, Abby Walker felt burdened for the people there, and realized God’s calling on her life to return and minister.
She was approved to return to Japan for a two-year missionary internship, and she is seeking prayer and financial partners for her ministry.

“The unreached population is 99.5% of the 130 million people that live in Japan.”
For the last 38 years, Ken and Judy Bailey have served as career missionaries to Japan with Free Will Baptist International Missions. They discuss the growth of the gospel in Japan, but also the critical need to continue to reach the second most populated unreached people group in the world.
They are back in the US raising the necessary financial support to return to the field as quickly as possible. To learn more about the Bailey’s ministry and to support them financially, visit https://iminc.org/missionaries/kenneth-and-judy-bailey/.
