Why are we serving with Asian Access?
After much research, we chose Asian Access because the vision, church multiplication strategy, and partnership with Japanese churches were the right fit for us. |
Andrew did so well playing the taiko drum the last weekend of his kindergarten. Praise the Lord! Thank you for your prayers for Andrew’s continued Japanese learning and life in Japanese school. |
Background Info:
Erik grew up in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. He moved to Oregon to attend George Fox University where he met Rhonda. Rhonda grew up in Newberg, Oregon, the hometown of George Fox. After graduating in 1994, Rhonda flew off to Japan to teach English on the JET Program. When Rhonda was planning to return to the U.S. two years later, Erik decided to fly off to Japan with the JET Program so Rhonda decided to stay in Japan, and they were married 8 months later. In 1999 they returned to Oregon for Erik to attend Multnomah Biblical Seminary which thus began a search for a way to return to Japan to fulfill God’s calling on their lives.
Ministry Assignment:

Hopes for the future...
We hope to become more like Jesus as we live and share the GOOD News of Christ's saving grace with people in Japan. We hope to see a "living" body of new believers established in Japan. We hope to spread a vision for reaching the whole world for Christ among people in the U.S.
