I grew up with a heart for the Gospel of Christ Jesus to reach all the nations, and I was a sophomore in college when I first learned about the great spiritual darkness in Japan. From that time the Japanese people have been engraved on my heart.

 

Though I had career plans to teach English/film studies, after earning master's degree in English in 2012, the Lord redirected my steps to go and make disciples in Christ's Name in Japan.

​

I served with EFCA ReachGlobal as a member of a cafe/English ministry in Northern Japan in the city of Sapporo from 2014-2019, and in February 2020 I joined ReachGlobal's Tokyo City Team.  ​
