Thank you for remembering the Manga Project in your prayers.
This year, we are truly grateful to have been able to print very large numbers of manga, more in a single year than ever before!
We would like to share about the Manga Bibles printed between September and November, as well as those that are scheduled to be printed soon. Please keep them in your prayers, that each of these projects will be protected.
In September, 81,000 copies of Manga Messiah in Ukrainian, 19,000 copies of Manga Messiah in Russian, and 17,000 copies of Manga Messiah in Polish were sent out.
The manga will be sent to Ukraine, Norway, and Moldova, where they will be used by mission partners Mission Eurasia and New Life Ministries Norway, among others.
In September, we were able to print and ship a total of 115,200 copies of Manga Messiah in Hindi, Telugu, and English to India.
They will be used by Mission India, our mission partner working in India.
In October, 10,000 copies each of Manga Messiah and Manga Metamorphosis were shipped to Turkey; a total of 20,000 copies.
They will be used by mission partners working in Turkey.
In September and October, a total of 105,600 copies of books like Manga Messiah and Manga Metamorphosis in Swahili and English were shipped to Kenya.
In addition to that in October, 100,000 copies of the Swahili The Messiah were shipped to Tanzania.
They will be used by various mission partners working in Kenya, Tanzania, and other African countries.
Also in October, 10,000 copies of The Messiah in English were sent to a mission partner working in Kenya.
In addition, a total of 26,000 copies of the English Manga Messiah were shipped to the United States, Vanuatu, and Uganda during the months of September and October.
10,000 copies of the German Manga Messiah will be shipped in November.
They will be used by two partners working in Germany.
We will also be shipping 10,000 copies of Manga Messiah in Kurdish in December.
Kurdish is the language of the Kurdistan Autonomous Region. They will be used by mission partners working in Iraq.
55,000 copies of the Khmer Manga Messiah will be shipped to Cambodia in November. They will be used by three mission partners working in Cambodia.
Also this year, we are continuing our campaign to provide three types of full-color manga booklets free of charge for evangelical missions in Japan.
Originally, each box would be worth about 10,000 yen, but we are offering all three types free of charge, as well as OPP(plastic) bags for distribution, flyers, and free shipping.
This is a special project made possible by the support of those who have a desire to evangelize to the people of Japan. Please join us in this project in the form of distribution.
During the Christmas season (November 27-December 20), we are offering a special optional Christmas flyer (sample here).

We are grateful to be able to print such a large number of manga.
This year, other manga were also printed in Spanish, Tagalog, Burmese, English, Japanese, Portuguese, Norwegian, French, and Arabic.
●For more information, please read this article.
In total, we were able to print nearly one million manga this year alone.
This was made possible by a combination of various factors, including the depreciating of the yen, but we cannot help but believe that it was God’s mercy that we were able to print such a large number of manga in this very chaotic year for the world.
We thank the Lord that He is at work in these dark times and that He is using little ones like us, to shine His light of hope.
We have a very busy schedule with so many printings to be done. Please remember and pray for the health of our staff.
Also please continually pray that all the printing and binding of these books will be protected, and that the manga that are sent out will be delivered safely and used abundantly in the regions they are sent to.
New Life Ministries is a non-denominational Christian ministry committed to serving the Lord by printing and sending Bibles and Gospel literature to Japan and the rest of the world, in each people group’s heart language.
Beginning in 1954, under the name New Life League, the ministry reached out to children, provided Gospel literature, and did evangelism through radio broadcast.
Later on, the work shifted more to the collection and printing of Gospel literature as the main focus.
Throughout history, there has always been a call for the supply of Bibles, and New Life Ministries has continued to do all that it can to meet the demand. Our purpose is to see Japan changed for Jesus, and that the whole world be filled with His precious Word.
