A Word From The Pastor

Konnichiwa! Greetings from Nagoya!

I am God's servant and a church planter serving among diaspora Filipinos in Japan for nearly 25 years. Our calling has grown beyond borders for we are also reaching the Japanese, and by God’s grace have planted a Japanese church. Our prayer is that through our next generation: our children and youth, we will see more Japanese churches birthed in the years to come.

‍

I first came to Japan on November 4, 2000, with just one bag and all the promises of God. Today, I am blessed to journey through life and ministry with my wife Vangie, and our three wonderful children, now all in high school.

‍

“David served the purposes of God in his generation, and then he died.”Like David, I have one life to live and my deepest prayer is to be fully used by God for His glory, to one day return to Him and hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
Acts 13:36

‍

My vision is to see the Japanese among the great multitude in Revelation 7:9, worshiping before the throne. Until that day comes, my mission remains: to raise Christlike disciples today who will make Christlike disciples tomorrow.
