Hometown

I was raised in Nagoya, Japan, went to Christian missionary founded private school from 7th grade on.

Family Info

My husband, Mike and son JT are my boys.

How did you come to HCKB?

That is a long, long story but to make it short. God brought me. I came here as a student, volunteered at the office everyday, met Mike at church, got married to be planted here.

Ministry Passion

It gives me encouragement and fuel to see life changed and restored. Especially in the soil, where it doesn't have much Christian influence. I came here because I know I would be more effective for the mission work in Japan. When I see or hear one by one, the country turns it's direction towards God.

Biggest influence in your life over the past year and why

Holy Spirit (small voice or in black and white), my family and church family as God speaks through them to teach me and correct me.

Fun Stuff

Travels
My travel begins at planning. Researching about the destination is so much fun. My luggages were packed 2 weeks prior to the travel date. They were. Having active boys around, that is not the case anymore but I am learning to relax more and enjoy the whole process.

Hobbies
Take pictures of people and organize them (thanks to digital cameras). Tasting food.

What you do for fun
Finding time nowadays is a bit difficult but hanging out with my family.

What makes you laugh
My son's comments the most but realizing that it's hereditary, of course from Mike.
