JLMM organize study tours to Asia-Pacific regions. We encourage you to visit our mission areas to come into contact with people there, which is never possible unless you visit the place.

Since JLMM missionaries are stationed in the mission areas, our study tours include something special; for example, staying overnight in the floating village in Tonle Sap Lake, meeting children in the literacy educational center in Cambodia and home-stay in a village of minor tribe, Lahu in Thailand. These will give you a rich experience to feel different culture by your heart and body. Away from economically rich country Japan, expose yourself to the people with rich heart in comparatively poor countries.

You will certainly find something getting to your heart.
And something inside you must change.

There are two kinds of study tours; one is planned and organized by JLMM and another is arranged according to the request from group of people.
The former are in the spring and the autumn almost every year. As for the latter, we design the exposure tours to Thailand and Cambodia for your study circle, etc.
Please contact us for details.
