Genuine Friendship on the Journey of Mission
YLG (Younger Leaders Gathering) is part of the Lausanne Movement, one of the world's largest mission network.
The goal of Japan YLG2024 is to initiate a trasformation in the leadership "culture," by connecting diverse younger leaders who are serving in Japan mission, mutually seeking humility in Christ, and building genuine friendships that will lay a foundation for mission collaboration.
