Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.
Matthew 16:24
A Summit Set Apart for Christ
Raise the Cross climb Mt.Fuji annually, prayerfully carrying the cross to the summit (12,389ft) to proclaim the name of Jesus Christ over the land of Japan.
A Revered Mountain
Mount Fuji has long been regarded as sacred, holding meaning within Japanese history and tradition. As we ascend, we will see torii gates and shrines that reflect centuries of idol devotion. We must approach this mountain praying with hearts anchored in Christ.
A Prayerful Ascent
From base to summit, this is a journey of faithful prayer. We lift up our families, our communities, Japan, and the nations, asking that God’s love, truth, and peace would be known. In the name of Jesus, we dedicate our steps to His glory, trusting Him to work gently and powerfully in every place.
