My missionary journey began in 1995 when I started church-planting, discipleship, and evangelism in Japan for the next 17 years. I met my wife, Hanako, in Japan and we were blessed with our first child, Caleb. We were very busy but extremely fulfilled in reaching the Japanese but the Lord led us back to Canada due to our son's special needs education in 2012. I then joined the pastoral staff of Bramalea Baptist Church (Brampton, ON) serving in a variety of roles - Youth and Young Adults Pastor, Small Groups Pastor, Filipino Outreach Congregation Pastor, and finally as Mission pastor, stepping down after 10 years in June 2022.

The Lord then opened the road back into missions and I transitioned into OM in September 2022 and currently serve as the Executive Director of OM Canada. I lead the OM Canada team by casting vision, giving direction and oversight to our initiatives and operations, and coaching the leaders of our departments. Will you consider joining us in reaching the world for Jesus?
