An opportunity for artists who are interested in ministry and applying training in a Japanese context.

T.E.N.T stands for: 

Training- training artists to use their skills to share the gospel in a contextual way. 

Enriching- we will enrich the world around us by creating art together.

Navigating- we will spend time navigating scriptures together and growing in our faith.

Transforming- we will pursue OM’s mission of creating vibrant communities of Jesus followers and transform our community.

In this 6-month training, there will be 1-2 lessons a week. Each lesson will include creative assignments for both individual and group projects. Participants will be asked to take language classes while attending the training. Participants will also be asked to take part in local ministries such as communication workshops, Sendai Witness Arts Gathering, drama projects etc. The final project for the course will take place in our yearly Art Festival in September. Participants will help us plan and execute our festival along with our fellow Japanese Christian Artists.
