Pastor Salary
Hayato ("Tomi") and Miyoko are serving at Nozomi (Hope) Chapel in Nagoya, Japan. Tomi and Miyoko met in seminary and were married in 2023. Tomi graduates in March, 2024, and will become the pastoral intern at Nozomi, a church plant of the Presbyterian Church in Japan. Miyoko has long been a part of Nozomi Chapel and also serves in a key role at Life Hope Network (crisis pregnancy/home for pregnant women/post-abortion counseling). Nozomi Chapel meets in the cafe owned by Life Hope Network.
Tomi and Miyoko are an exceptional couple with many gifts. Tomi is very good with children's ministry and also loves to preach. Miyoko is a gifted translator, counselor and writer. They enjoy having people over to their home and both have a servant's heart. We look forward to seeing what God will do with such a couple focused on the work at Nozomi in 2024. Please pray for them. Thank you!
