Skate Ministry in Japan

About Japan

Japan, home to over 123 million people, is a country of rich culture, tradition, and innovation. While Japanese cities are bustling with opportunity, many youth struggle with isolation and pressure, making safe community spaces like skateparks vital.

Skateboarding in Japan

Since skateboarding’s inclusion in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, interest has skyrocketed, with more parks and competitions than ever before. Skate culture has become a bridge between generations and a unique way to introduce the hope of the Gospel.

Our Skateboard Ministry in Japan

SkateMin Asia partners with YWAM and skate communities to reach youth through skateboarding, mentorship, and weekly sessions. Our ministry leaders guide skaters in both skill development and spiritual growth, creating an inclusive environment for boys and girls alike.

SkateMin Asia is;

• Partnering with local churches to connect with skaters

• Hosting outreach events, contests, and skate nights

• Building relationships through one-on-one discipleship

• Training leaders to multiply ministry impact

Our vision is to create skate ministry hubs in major cities and empower Japanese skaters to lead their communities in faith.
