In Japan:

pastors aged 80 years and above : 11%

pastors aged 71 – 80 years old : 28%

pastors aged 61 – 70 years old : 25%

pastors aged 51 – 60 years old : 20%

pastors aged 41 – 50 years old : 12 %

pastors aged 40 years and below : 4%

In other words, 64% of Japanese pastors are aged 60 and above. 84% of them are over 50 years old. You can do the math…

A massive problem for the established churches in Japan, and a big problem for our WEC churches too!

Wonder what God’s solution for this one is?

Any thoughts?
