the kaki seed
A 12-page journal known as the kaki seed: developments in evangelism and ministry to Japanese people worldwide documented the new insights that Iwa was discovering in its first few years. Publishing it without the help of computers and desktop-publishing capabilities, the staff, in a time-consuming labor of love, produced 8 issues: three in 1984, three in 1985, and two in 1987. Ground-breaking at the time, many of the articles are still relevant today.
