Abstrakt

Pastors of international churches need an understanding of the sociological and psychological effects of living as a foreigner in an isolated situation in order to minister to expatriates effectively. Social legitimation of identity, culture shock, loneliness, and Maslow's hierarchy of need are examined. Images of the church and the message of I Peter are analyzed to draw implications for ministry within the Japanese situation. The resultant suggestions for ministry are evaluated by pastors. The insights into the expatriate experience and the suggestions to meet the ministry needs that result are applicable also to those in other cultural situations.
