About Glow International
Glow International was founded in 2014 by Samantha Harris and Naoko Uechi.
We are a non-profit, para-church organization located in the south side of Atlanta. We serve the local and expatriate Japanese community in the area. In 2020, we became an established non-profit. Throughout the years we have been able to go on 10+ mission trips to Japan!
We partner with many interdenominational American and Japanese churches/ministries, as well as individual supporters, to fulfill the mission of GLOW.
Mission
We exist to glorify God, share the love of Jesus, and proclaim the gospel to the unreached Japanese community in the south side of ATL and Japan.
Vision
Striving to lead the Japanese to Jesus resulted in a widespread Disciple-Making movement of Christianity both locally and in Japan.

Impact
Throughout these ten years of ministry, 500+ people have heard the gospel in some fashion.
There are many Japanese based companies in Peachtree City & Newnan, GA. They send expats with their families to work and live in the United States for roughly about 2-5 years. This is the time we are able to gently share the gospel.
We have been blessed with ten strategic partnerships with ministries and churches.
We are thankful for each and one of them!
Since 2021, we have been able to go to Japan every single year on a mission trip. In November 2024, Crossroads Church & Grace Church came with us on a Vision Trip. These two churches will be coming on a mission trip with us in the near future. We cannot wait to see how the Lord uses these partnerships!
