About Jesus' Anywhere Door @ Nobuko
Revival has begun in Japan — a “Coming Home Revival”!
Prodigal sons and daughters are returning to the Father’s house.
They are discovering their true worth and divine purpose, being transformed from spiritual orphans into beloved sons and daughters of God.
But we need more family members ready to welcome them home.
I heard the voice say, “Whom shall I send?” — and I responded, “Here I am, send me.”
In a nation where over 99% of people have yet to know Christ, I am being sent again — this time as a domestic and digital missionary.
Through Instagram and cafés, “Jesus’ Anywhere Door @ Nobuko” seeks to build a Spirit-filled community in Tokyo — one where the love and power of the Holy Spirit are made visible through the family of God.
In this environment where the life of Jesus flows and circulates, people can encounter Him even through their screens — as if through a spiritual “Anywhere Door.”
No matter where they are, they can meet Jesus Christ.

ENDORSEMENT
“We have known Nobuko for many years, and have done house church together for over 10 years where she has served as an elder and worship leader. She has our full support and we are proud to send her out as a trusted vessel of God. We are always encouraged hearing her testimonies and experiencing the grace of God together. Now, as a new season begins for her, we hope that the Lord will expand a network of those who desire to sow and reap together in the spiritual realm.”
Justin and Sumire Stanislawski (House Church Leaders)
We are writing to wholeheartedly recommend Nobueko as a domestic missionary in Japan.It has been nearly thirty years since we first met her, when we served together as colleagues in Youth With A Mission (YWAM). Over the years, our relationship has grown into one of deep mutual trust, spiritual unity, and friendship.
For the past thirteen years, every time she visits the Kansai region, she stays with our family for several nights. During those times, we not only engage in ministry together, but we also share our hearts openly, walking in mutual accountability and spiritual encouragement. She has truly become part of our spiritual family.

Homeland Missionary
When people hear the word “missionary”, they often picture someone going overseas to preach the Gospel , for the Kingdom of God .But at its core, the word means “someone sent with a mission.”
Missionaries may serve through mission organizations or be sent by a local church to expand the Kingdom of God.I myself have been involved in missions for over 15 years, previously with YWAM and FBM.Since 2011, the Lord has given me the name “Gospel Essence Life” (GEL), under which I’ve continued to serve Him.
🚪“Jesus’ Anywhere Door @ Nobuko” is Built with the Family of God
This ministry is not something I build alone — it is something we create together as God’s family.To sustain this work, I am praying for monthly support of ¥50,000 (about $320 USD) for ministry expenses. I will be spending about 50 hors for works at the cafe including commuting to cafe . This is equivalent to about 50 hours per month of café work at a standard wage of ¥1,000/hour —
I will communicate about it every three months, through support-raising letters. I believe Total of ¥150,000 will be met by God’s provision through people who would join us to create Door to our Father's house for people to see !!

Opening the Door Together
Through a café in Tokyo and through Instagram, my heart is to create a space where the Holy Spirit is speaking in real time:
“Your home is here.”
“Your life has a purpose.”
“You are valuable.”
“Come home.”
Let’s open that door together so that prodigal sons and daughters can return to the Father’s house.
