This will not happen, however, unless the present ministry reproduces itself. I do not see this happening at present. In the area of self- propagation it is weak. However, a start has been made. The church is growing.
Japanese ministers are active in holding home meetings and regular Bible studies in outlying places.
New churches, however, started by Japanese with their own resources and on their own volition and meeting every Sunday in their own places of worship are rare. This is cause for concern. It should also be cause for reflection on the part of the missionaries. In teaching and in example, the missionary should be leading his Japanese counterpart in outreach.
