Circuit Pastor of HungerZero. Pastor of Grace Mission, Japan Council of Evangelical Free Churches. Since 2001, he has been involved in bridge-building activities to "connect" people in Japan with those who are fighting against hunger and poverty in the world.
Having visited 30 countries including poverty-stricken areas (including Philippines, Bangladesh, Uganda, Bolivia) and reconstruction sites after ethnic conflicts (including Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Cambodia), he has given lectures at churches, schools, and companies nationwide on the situation of the local people he had witnessed in those countries, including Ukraine. The philosophy behind his activities is also utilized in such as online seminars showing significance of existence of local church in each neighborhood or on HR development, hoping that such "Vision of Community” will be helpful for missions in Japan as well. With the motto of "Start with me, and the world will change," his aim is to change the world by practicing a simple way of life and by reaching out one by one, with a mindset of "It is more blessed to give than to receive”.
