| JET Christian Fellowship (JCF) Adrianna Avery E-mail, Forum |
 JET Christian Fellowship (JCF) is a non-denominational group of JETs who share a common belief and faith in Jesus Christ. It was formed in 1988 by Christians on the JET Program. We meet together to develop friendships, pray for one another, and encourage each other in the walk of faith. We strive to share Jesus and His message of hope with other JETs, foreigners and Japanese people we come in contact with. Our website can be found at www.jetchristianfellowship.com. |

 Stonewall AJET provides an affirming, open, safe zone for LGBTW individuals and allies in Japan, while enhancing lives through collection and dissemination of information, maintenance of online platforms for communication, and provision of opportunities for fellowship, mutual learning, and peer support. We recognize the need to maintain and nurture a sense of community for all of our members throughout Japan. We encourage solidarity, insight, pride and respect, and self-discovery through development of an international community at the regional and national levels. Stonewall AJET envisions an international community where compassion and respect, social justice, and equality are extended to all individuals. |
| Muslims in Japan Husam Alsousi E-mail, Forum |
| Did you know that most soy sauces contain alcohol? Do you know how to say meat extract in Japanese? If a food item lists shortening as an ingredient, is it ok to eat? These are some of many questions Muslims face in Japan. Add to that, our inability to eat the school lunch, fasting during Ramadan, not eating any Japanese meat or drinking at enkai’s, it’s a little difficult to live life comfortably in Japan. Join “Muslims in Japan” to openly discuss Islam, ways to talk with Japanese people who are curious about Islam and its duties and learn what to look for when buying food. Open to Muslims and non-Muslims alike. |
