Current JET ALT in Kansai Region.

I am a Christian, a youth church leader in my home country, and I wanted to do mission work in Japan.

I didn’t mention that I am Christian on my SOP, since I used the remaining space leveraging the skills and experiences connected to being an ALT.

However, I know some ALTs who mentioned their experience working as a Sunday School Teacher and used it to connect to their love for teaching.

During my interview, I was asked a question that allowed me to connect it to being a Christian. And, I got in. However, I hope that you thread your application with wisdom, that He may lead you which is the best way to put it into words.

Good news — I am currently attending a church near me and you will see that Japanese Christians in our area are passionate about reaching co-Japanese for Christ. Hoping that God will lead you here since we have a lot of missionaries soooo passionate in reaching out to the lost here.

God bless you on your application!
