A little about us…
When we were married in 2008, we thought God might be leading us to overseas missions, but where? We fell in love with Japan after three months on a vision trip, and have been full-time missionaries in Tokyo, Japan since 2015 with TEAM (The Evangelical Alliance Mission).
Our bachelor’s degrees are in video and audio production (Gordon) and sociology (Julie). Our seminary training was done at the Christian Leaders Institute online seminary.
Since moving to Tokyo in 2015, we’ve gained relationships with many dear Japanese and missionary friends and partners. Over these years, we’ve studied the Japanese language and culture, we’ve been part of a church planting team, we’ve worked at a café, we’ve worked at a student center, and so much more.
Now, after 16 years of marriage, with the miracle birth of our daughter Lois (Lolo), we’re raising support for our next season of ministry in Japan at Hikari no Hamon (Ripple of Light) studios. This ministry will be a beautiful culmination of our giftings, passions, and experiences thus far.
Thanks for Visiting!
