About Our Family

Best known as the home of Tokyo Disneyland, and sister city to Orlando, Urayasu was once a small fishing village on Tokyo Bay. A coastal land-reclamation project expanded its area fourfold, bringing rapid growth and an influx of young people and families. When an MTW team moved into the Shin Urayasu target area, there was no church in this new community of 40,000 - not surprising in a country where only 0.3 percent of the population identify as Christians.

With God's help, things are beginning to change. Through the MTW Tokyo Bay Team’s church-planting efforts, Shin-Urayasu Grace Church had its first worship service in 2012. The church is establishing itself in the community as they seek to love God, love each other and the community.

Robert and Lisa Stewart, with their children William and Isabel, are part of this MTW work in Japan. Robert is building relationships through a men's group in the community, church outreach, and a men's Bible study. He teaches two days a week at Covenant Community School International to give educational support to their children as well as the children of other MTW families. Lisa is focused on building relationships with other moms through play groups, cooking classes, and Bible study.

Pray that God would call many Japanese to a saving faith in Jesus Christ and that Shin-Urayasu Grace Church would be a thriving, Christ-centered church.
