"As a Japanese businessman living in the U.S., I was reluctant to accept an invitation to join the Board of Directors of Asian Access. My schedule was so full, and I feel my English is not so great. However, when I met the staff and the missionaries, and when I first visited with other Board members, somehow I just couldn't refuse their invitation. My friends in Japan who are pastors and businessmen tell me how much they appreciate Asian Access missionaries and staff. They often tell me, 'they are people who give themselves unselfishly to the cause of Christ in Japan.' As a Japanese, I feel challenged by the men and women of Asian Access to do more for my own country. I am proud to be a supporter and a member of the Board of a mission like Asian Access."

"You can sense the energy and optimism of a ministry by visiting its website and meeting the key leaders. But…to know the heart and heartbeat of the ministry, get acquainted with their board members. As the board goes, so goes the ministry. So I’m delighted to say—based on up-close and personal observations and interactions—I know that Asian Access is led by God-honoring board members who care deeply about the Gospel and the Great Commission. And as stewards of the ministry, the board ensures that Asian Access continues to meet or exceed the rigorous accreditation, integrity, and transparency requirements of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA)."
