Hi, My name is Masaru Horie, a Christian Japanese living in BC Canada. I am voluntarily producing visual tools for Gospel Evangelism in Japan.
There aren't many options for visual tools for evangelistic works in Japanese. For example, the distribution of Christian movies in Japan is significantly limited due to the short demand. Due to the shortage of demand, only 1 or 2 Christian movies are distributed in Japan yearly. As a result, missionaries in Japan have to struggle to prepare many materials by themselves. Even though they know many good Christian movies produced in North America, they can not share them with Japanese people in Japan because these movies are not translated/subtitled in Japanese. When they make flyers it is not easy to find free Christian illustrations. The purpose is to assist all Christian workers with visual materials, videos and illustrations.
3. A Guy with Bible (https://christiancliparts.net/bibledude/) Animation video series introducing the sermons of English-speaking teachers, like Charles Spurgeon, CS Lewis, John MacArthur, John Piper and more... I make them concise to 5 min animation videos in Japanese.

The Japanese subtitle for the Christian TV drama "7th Street Theater" episode 10 "Shelley Part 2" is up now.
The reason I love this drama is that they always prioritize prayer as their final solution to any difficult issues and problems. That is the privilege of Christians and the most powerful and the best solution all the time.
日本語は英語に続きます。 I subtitled "Alison's Choice" which is directed by Bruce Marchiano. He is well known in North America, but I could not find even an article about him in Japanese. I am glad for this opportunity to introduce him to Japanese people.
The theme of this movie is "Abortion", the evaluation of the movie is bipolar, and caused some arguments. The point is whether a fetus is a human or not. People who admit to abortion ignore the human right of the fetus, so their consideration would focus only on the woman who is pregnant. Then what does the Scripture tell us about it? The key verses would be Psalm 139, Jeremiah 1:5, and Proverbs 6. This movie looks at abortion from God's perspective according to the Scripture, please watch.

日本語は英語の後に続きます。 Thanks to the generosity of the movie director Rich Christiano, he made his movie available on YouTube, and he allowed me to put Japanese subtitles on it.
