Fellowship International – Japan

Rob and Kathryn began serving with Fellowship International in the Ibaraki countryside north of Tokyo where Christians make up only 0.2% of the population – close to the lowest on the planet.

They loved and served the Japanese people and planted Hitachi Hope Church – a congregation of about 25 (1995 – 2005) From 2005-2014 they started Oasis in their home, a neighbourhood based outreach, first to young people and then to their families.

In 2015, Rob and Kathryn moved to Tokyo, where Rob preached and taught in several churches and was involved in a seminary in northern Japan training Christian workers. Rob also worked to encourage another young Korean missionary in outreach to Japanese.

Kathryn reaches out to many ladies with the Good News through building relationships and Discover Bible Study.

As senior missionaries in Japan, Rob and Kathryn also mentor new arrivals on the field as they adjust to life and ministry in one of the neediest places in the world.
