This month we’re releasing a new manga booklet as a free outreach resource for churches, missionaries and ministries in Japan.
The booklet features a Waypoints Christmas story, plus (on the flip side) a new, original cartoony Christmas story set in modern times. We're planning to start taking orders in the mid-October so churches and ministries in Japan can have the booklets in November before the Christmas season begins.
Here’s a look behind the scenes at some of the process that went into creating the two covers.
