City Facts:
Population: 1,085,235
Metro Area: Sendai, 2.2 million
Sendai, the de facto capital of the Tohoku region in northeast Japan, is now known worldwide for the massive earthquake and tsunami which struck the city in March 2011. The 9.0 magnitude earthquake and resulting 24-foot waves killed or injured three thousand in the city and reduced tens of thousands of buildings to rubble. Yet in typical Japanese fashion, Sendai’s economy has recovered to pre-disaster levels, and as before its college student population per capita is among the highest in Japan.
Mustard Seed Christian Church - Sendai
Planted April 2021
Mustard Seed Christian Church - Sendai first gathered on Easter Sunday in 2021, celebrating and proclaiming our risen Savior, Jesus Christ. Since then, the church has met every Sunday in the heart of the city. In 2023, MSCC Sendai moved into its first permanent venue, located in the middle of Sendai’s main shopping district.
As new relationships formed, God opened doors for deeper connections throughout the city and beyond. By the grace of God, the church has seen growing opportunities for college students, youth, and families. Today, MSCC Sendai hosts a monthly youth group and a weekly young adult fellowship. Please pray that this church plant would faithfully proclaim the gospel and make disciples in Sendai and throughout the Tohoku region.
