After 12 years of praying and trying, I returned to Japan the summer of 2016. Since then, I finished two terms with OMF Japan. I am currently on HA (home assignment) in the US through March of 2024, hoping to return to Japan again after that. This page allows you to sign-up to pray or financially supporting the work God is doing in Japan with OMF and myself. Current donations support both my time in the States on HA as well as my preparation to return to the field.

The work God has down over the past 12 years and continues to do was and is only possible thru your prayers and support, so thank you for considering to pray for me and/or support me financially. You are a blessing to both me and the people of Japan. Thank you for visiting this page and I pray God guides you in your decision to become a Prayer Warrior or Financial Supporter for God's Work in Japan. I look forward to connecting with you and journeying alongside you if you do decide to join me on this mission and call minister to reach the lost and support the saved in Japan.

For those who are interested below is more information about my first two terms with OMF Japan.

My first term was a three-year Associate Term from June 2016-June 2019. My ministry focus was church revitalization, where I helped revitalize, encourage and support three local Japanese churches in Aomori City, Aomori Prefecture Japan. I worked with church members to start and over see cafe, cooking class, craft class, gospel class, mom&child class and English class outreaches. I also helped preach, lead adult Bible Studies, oversee the young adults and college group, co-lead children's church and give the children's messages during services as well. After my first-term I had a 8-month HA in the US while I worked on and waited to transfer from Associate to Member status with OMF.

My second term was a four-year Member Term, from March 2020-March 2024. My term started just as COVID-19 was spreading worldwide. I literally made it to Japan on the last plane out of the US before airports and borders closed. My ministry focus was two-fold and multifaceted, as I was placed in a marketplace role and ministry environment as well as in a local church support role and ministry context. For my marketplace ministry role I was placed as the school missionary and one of the Native English teachers at a Christian Japanese Middle and High School in Hakodate, Hokkaido. Besides teaching at the school, I oversaw the weekly English Club (two years) and Women's Christian Club (one year year) as well as preaching at the daily chapel (2-4 times a month) and pray for the staff at the morning meeting (3 times a month). For my church support role I was placed as the missionary of a local church mainly assisting with college, young adult and women discipleship and follow-up but also assisted when preaching as needed by the pastor.

The last sixth months of my Member Term, I was moved to Sapporo City to assist with a Cafe and Church Plant Ministry there as well as OMF's FmZero college outreach ministry.

My third-term is yet to be decided (possibility, location and context) but I will post here when it is. For now, I will be starting a new page in late June, covering my HA and preparations for next term.
