DJ Jordan | Church Communication (Part 1)
As a Vice President at Pinkston, D.J. leads a team of experienced strategists, writers and designers in creating and implementing strategic communications campaigns for corporations, nonprofit organizations, advocacy groups and individual thought leaders.
D.J. brings a unique perspective to client campaigns, having worked for major news outlets as well as in various communications leadership roles in the federal government. His unique ability to fuse these two perspectives means he knows what kinds of stories reporters and the public find compelling, and he knows how to help leaders tell their stories in an effective way whether it’s in print, on screen or in person.
Prior to joining Pinkston, D.J. was communications director for a U.S. Senator, communications director for the U.S. House Committee on Small Business, and press secretary for a U.S. Representative.

This week on the podcast we have Jonathan Ransom and Jon Simburger both leaders of Pillar Church of Okinawa in Japan. Okinawa has a population of approximately 1.4 million. Less than 2% of Okinawans know Jesus. To break those numbers down, that means there are only 1-2 followers of Jesus for every 100 people on this island.
Data from the most recent government census suggests there are 268 churches here in Okinawa. Assuming gospel health & vitality, that’s one church for every 5,400 Okinawans. Simply, that’s not enough.
Believing we exist on this island as a local expression of God’s family of servant missionaries we are committed to praying, partnering, giving, serving, and working to see these numbers change. One missiologist has been quoted as saying: “Japan had it’s chance.” We reject this idea. Rather, we are convinced it is only dawn in the land of the rising sun. We anticipate watching as darkness is dispelled by the rising Son, and the people of Okinawa increasingly find themselves swept up into God’s growing family of rescued rebels here in Japan.Gospel to Okinawa (GTO 2 x 2022) is Pillar's initiative to pray and work towards seeing two gospel-centered, church-planting churches planted by the year 2022. These churches will be planted by Okinawans, for the Okinawan people. learn more about GTO at https://pillarokinawa.com/mission/gospel-to-okinawa/
