Support the mission
This culture won't grow in a day. Like prayer, it builds up slowly, step by step. If you choose to support this journey, I'll keep sending word back from Britain, as a companion on the road.
Why this is worth supporting
One
An earthquake, depression, and the recovery that followed. This is the next step of a life lived out through "rising again, still carrying the wounds."
Two
Not for fame, not for achievement — for the single reason of offering it to God, I'm leaving my post at 57 and crossing the sea.
Three
This is one man's dream, and at the same time it's the first investment in a culture Japan doesn't yet have: sacred music as a part of daily worship.
Walk this journey with me
This journey is carried by your prayers. Please pray that, as God wills it, this real British choir life can continue.
Questions, press enquiries, or anything about supporting the project — please feel free to reach out.
If you don't log in to PayPal, you'll just need an email address.
Monthly supporters
Each plan has 4% added to cover the PayPal handling fee, so the amount charged is £5.20, £10.40, £15.60 or £26.00. That way the whole of the £5, £10, £15 or £25 you have chosen reaches the work itself.
One-time gift (any amount)
Give a one-time giftPlease set the amount yourself. Because of the transaction fees, I would ask that gifts be £5 or more.
Once you've made the transfer, please let me know by email.
The exact information your bank will ask for varies by country, so please email me first — I'll send you complete, verified transfer details. For most people outside Japan, PayPal above will be simpler.
With any kind of support
Every supporter receives all of the following.
Everything sent to you comes by way of A Real Choral Life in the UK, the email newsletter. If you have not subscribed yet, please do.
Frequently asked
