Our Vision Our vision is to establish a strong, Japanese-led church in Hatazawa, a suburb of Tokyo. There is no other Christian work in Hatazawa. We have seen the church grow while we have been here, and the church is looking into buying land to put up its own building. About Us Ralph calls Little Rock, Arkansas home, and became a Christian after reading the Gospel of Matthew in a hotel room in India. He joined OMF in 1987 and met Miho at the church he was attending while studying in language school.
Miho, a native of Sapporo, Japan, believed Jesus Christ when she participated in an OMF English camp while in high school. We were married in 1989 and have worked together in church planting and evangelism since then. OMF Our mission board was started by Hudson Taylor as the China Inland Mission in 1865. OMF is now an international, interdenominational mission board committed to the urgent evangelization of all of East Asiafs peoples.
Our Area Hatazawa is historically famous for fishing. Now one of the largest steel mills in the world is located there, and most church members are connected to the mill. In recent years with improved transportation to Tokyo, increasing numbers of commuters call the area home.
