We are finally leaving the U.S. and moving to the land God has shown us, Minamisoma City in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. In Minamisoma, we will be working with a missionary organization to support reconstruction and church planting. We will put into practice what we have learned in the U.S. in the mission field.

Born in 1980 in Ibaraki Prefecture Japan. After graduating from high school, his father’s company went bankrupt and he suddenly became independent & isolated. As a reaction to this, he spent his twenties living a life of adult delinquency and self-centeredness. While working as a salaried employee, he worked on a number of side jobs and spent his time on self-development and self-investment, dreaming of money and success. In 2011, after starting his own business, he lost all his money and his bank account was seized. The following year, he was diagnosed with male breast cancer, and his life hit rock bottom. He repented of his previous self-centeredness and declared that he would dedicate the rest of his life to the gospel mission. At the age of 33, he was led into marriage and entered the church teaching program at Tokyo Christian University’s Theology Department. After completing the 2 years of the program, he became a Youth and Kids Pastor at the Lord Jesus Christ Church, Adachi Ward, Tokyo. He continues to challenge the possibilities of ministry and evangelism in the community with the kids and youth ministries. He will graduate from Christ for the Nations (CFNI) with his family in November 2020. After returning to Japan, his goal is to move to Minamisoma City, Fukushima Prefecture, and serve the community and people while supporting the reconstruction of the disaster area and doing missionary work.
