From June 27 to 29, 2026, the Youth Camp for Christian Veganism established and advocated by Masaaki-sama was held at the Omuta Heights in Omuta City, Fukuoka Prefecture, as the main venue and hosted by The Messiah Choir (Youth Division), drawing 89 young participants from across the country. On the final day, a mini concert with original songs by Masaaki-sama open to the general public was held for the first time. It was a new step in the work of salvation through song, bringing the name of Masaaki-sama out into the world. In the opening ceremony on the first day, a special message from Masaaki-sama was read aloud (the full text to be published in Japanese in the next issue of Glory, no. 79). Presenting concrete figures on the overwhelming impact that practicing a vegan diet has on humanity and the earth, Masaaki-sama declared that “Christian Veganism is the strongest and greatest SDGs project.” Participants were struck by the fact that their own meals, even in that very moment, held the power to save the lives of people and animals and to save the earth itself, and they took to heart the weight of the mission to live out and share Christian Veganism established and advocated by Masaaki-sama. In his greeting, Missionary Area Chief Kawakami shared that in receiving Masaaki-sama’s Sacred Word, he had come to feel that Masaaki-sama’s greatness lies in his unprecedented resolve to fearlessly proclaim great truth without being intimidated even by powerful forces in society, such as the livestock and dairy industries, the medical establishment and existing religious circles. And he said that something like a “Masaaki-sama brand” may be emerging in the world. He continued and presented his own journey of following the example set by Masaaki-sama and Mami-okusama in their missionary work, of sharing Christian Veganism established and advocated by Masaaki-sama with the general public, and through the various responses he received, of coming to encounter Masaaki-sama living within himself and to feel his greatness. Ms. Tomomi Kawada (Higashikurume Church), who took part in those activities, also shared her experiences. In the discussion groups, participants spoke about their resolve upon receiving the message from Masaaki-sama for this camp and the Sacred Word given at the Birth of the Messiah Service (June 14, 2026), concrete ways of following Mami-okusama’s example in missionary work, and the question Mami-okusama posed: “What would have become of me if Masaaki-sama had not been here?” Following Mami-okusama’s example, each participant prepared a letter written for one specific person, along with copies of Glory and its supplementary issue A Vegan Diet Will Save the World, marked with sticky notes. During the camp, like-minded members led by Missionary Area Chief Kawakami also held discussions on using the Group for Promoting Christian Veganism Established and Advocated by Masaaki-sama organized by the Saitama Missionary Area as a model for similar initiatives nationwide. On the second day, the young participants headed to the rice paddies of Church member Mr. Tadashi Nagaoka and his wife in the town of Nagasu of Kumamoto Prefecture. This is the paddy Masaaki-sama and Mami-okusama visited last September, where a traditional rice variety dating back some one hundred years has been grown without fertilizers or pesticides. There, the Christ Farming Prayer composed by Masaaki-sama was offered, and the field was newly born as a rice paddy for Christ Farming as established and advocated by Masaaki-sama. Getting their hands dirty in the soil and mud, the young people joined together to complete the rice planting. Afterward, they all sang “Rice Ears of Prayer,” the world's first Christ Farming song, with lyrics written by Masaaki-sama, filling the surrounding rice fields with their voices. Meals provided during the camp centered on rice cooked in clay pots and miso soup, following the Christian Vegan Diet established and advocated by Masaaki-sama. Over these three days, as the group put this diet into practice meal after meal, the astonishing scale of salvation Masaaki-sama described in his message—the salvation it brings to humanity, the earth, and the lives of animals—became more real with each meal. Everyone took to heart that every single meal was tied to the salvation of the world. The rehearsals for the mini concert took place indoors but also outdoors on a wooden deck overlooking the Ariake Sea. The young participants also went out to the nearby train station and shops to hand out concert flyers one by one. Each activity during the camp became part of a single journey to take in Masaaki-sama’s very existence with their whole being and convey it to the world. On the final day, about 40 people, including nonmembers, attended the mini concert with original songs by Masaaki-sama. Eight songs were performed: the “Hallelujah” chorus, “The Last Sacrifice,” “I Close My Eyes,” “A Love Greater than Love,” “Tomorrow,” “Sweet Little Jesus Boy,” “Rice Ears of Prayer,” and “One Day (When We All Get to Heaven)”—and at one point, staff from the adjacent day-care center who had come to listen stepped out during the concert, only to return bringing more clients and coworkers with them. When Masaaki-sama visited Mr. and Mrs. Nagaoka’s farm last year, he suggested holding the camp in the area. A search for a venue followed, and this time’s location was found. It was truly a camp for which Masaaki-sama had prepared everything from the very beginning, and the three days spent held in his deep embrace could not have been anything less than an extraordinary experience. The hearts of participants and staff alike converged on a single point: Masaaki-sama. And the combined passion of everyone there created an atmosphere unlike anything in everyday life. Within it, participants encountered Masaaki-sama anew and were transformed, breaking out of their own shells and taking a step forward. Through these two nights and three days, the young people strengthened their resolve as devoted missionaries committed to making the name of Masaaki-sama known to the world, and set off toward their respective regions.
