Trevor & Cheryl Howard direct the work of AJCM from their home in Stockport, near Manchester. They are members of Heaton Moor Evangelical Church in Stockport where many of AJCM's activities take place. 
Due to the constantly changing population and needs of Japanese people in the area activities are under constant review. Our aim is to be flexible and since AJCM started we have provided many activities and services, as required, for the Japanese community.

Listed below are some of the activities we have been involved with since the ministry started.

Classes for housewives, businessmen and students to help improve English conversation and learn more about the Bible.

To enable housewives to learn more about English food and traditions.

Practical advice for housewives about English customs and lifestyle.

Students at local universities and colleges especially appreciate the opportunity to visit an English home and make friends with English people.

Providing translation support when visiting a Doctor, hospital or school.

This popular activity  provides an opportunity for you to meet with other parents and for your children to make friends and play with other Japanese speaking children. More details are available on the Toddler Group page.

Subject to agreement with schools we can visit to provide translation and support for Japanese children in English schools. We can also advise about homework and the English education system.

A short course of 6 one-hour lessons for individuals or small groups.

Living in a foreign country can be stressful. We can provide advice, support and counselling to enable you to enjoy your stay in the UK.
