TOKYO, JAPAN — A mighty spiritual awakening swept across the Land of the Rising Sun as the Home Free Global Crusade 2025: Rebirth in Christ Tour made its eighth global stop in Tokyo. Hosted by the PMCC (4th Watch) at BelleSalle Hall in Takadanobaba, this landmark event marked a historic milestone for evangelism in Japan, drawing more than 33,000 in-person attendees and thousands more online.
What began with fervent, unified prayer culminated in a powerful move of God—demonstrating once more that the message of Christ transcends all borders, cultures, and languages.
Spiritual Hunger Builds Ahead of Tokyo Crusade
Long before Global Evangelist Jonathan S. Ferriol and the HFGC team arrived in Japan, thousands of believers around the world gathered in online prayer meetings. These intercessions laid a spiritual foundation for revival—opening the hearts of many in Japan to the transforming power of the Gospel.
Thousands Gather in Worship and Unity
On crusade day, BelleSalle Hall overflowed with expectancy as believers from across Japan and beyond came together in worship. The atmosphere was filled with joy and reverence as music ministry groups—The Katinas, HFGC Praise and Worship Team, Pastor Sammy Bagcat, Saved by Grace, and Japan Praise in Motion—led the crowd into powerful moments of praise.
In a creative expression of local culture, an original anime-inspired soundtrack based on Isaiah 41:10 was performed—fusing art and faith to connect deeply with the Japanese audience.
Global Evangelist Jonathan S. Ferriol Delivers a Message of “Heavenly Renewal”
At the heart of the crusade was the anointed preaching of Global Evangelist Jonathan S. Ferriol, who delivered a soul-stirring sermon titled “Heavenly Renewal.”
“Jesus’ resurrection proved that death has been defeated. Resurrection is the ultimate renewal!”
— Global Evangelist Jonathan S. Ferriol
Describing Christ’s resurrection as “a heavenly gambit to win against Satan,” Global Evangelist Jonathan S. Ferriol extended a passionate invitation to salvation:
“If you receive Jesus, if you accept Him as your Savior, your days of spiritual captivity end today!”
Thanks to the gifted translation of Brother Daichi Mori, the Gospel message transcended language barriers and touched hearts throughout the packed venue. The response was immediate and overwhelming as thousands stepped forward during the altar call.
Hearts Transformed: A Harvest of Souls in Tokyo
The spiritual fruit of the event was both staggering and awe-inspiring:
- Total In-Person Attendance: 33,223
- Decisions for Christ: 8,503
- Online Viewership: 21,144
- Water Baptisms: 2,384
The sight of hundreds publicly declaring their faith in Christ through water baptism—many from diverse nationalities—powerfully embodied the theme of the crusade: “Rebirth in Christ.”
A Revival in the Land of the Rising Sun
“神様が再び御業をなされました！(Kamisama ga futatabi miwaza wo nasaremashita!) — God did it again!”
So proclaimed the organizers of the crusade, rejoicing in the miraculous move of God witnessed in Tokyo.
This remarkable outpouring was made possible by the unwavering commitment of Presbyter Maya Cruz, Japan District Coordinator, and the dedicated HFGC Japan team. Through their intercession, preparation, and servant-hearted leadership, a fresh wave of revival swept through Japan.
