I was born into a third-generation Christian family, and my parents deeply influenced my faith. At the age of 13, I was baptized and publicly declared Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. When I was 16, I studed Department of Communication and Computer Engineering at a university in Shanghai. At 29, I became a computer management systems engineer.At 35, God called me to pursue theology while working in IT in Japan. Eventually, God equipped me to complete a Master's Degree in theology in both Tokyo and California, using the Japanese language.At the graduation ceremony, my father emotionally said, “our four generations (plus my son) of Christian families finally has a preacher.” My father's joy deeply moved me. At that moment, I seemed to hear God speaking to me through my father: “My child, you should go and preach the gospel.”Since then, I have devoted myself to voluntary ministry, designing, creating, and updating gospel websites for many churches and seminaries. I have also participated in church mission teams, spreading the gospel in Brazil, Philippines, Mid U.S, and Japan.
In October 2023, on Mission Day, Brother Levi from Christar visited my church (ACC). He introduced Christar's long history and its mission teams in Japan. In February 2024, I joined Christar's mission team in Japan. Through two months of shared ministry and living together, I further confirmed God's calling and vision for me. In the future, I will continue to work with Christar missionaries to serve in Japan.
God has spent over 20 years shaping and equipping me. My work, life, and study experiences in Japan have helped me build social connections and gain a deep understanding of Japanese culture and customs. Additionally, possessing a Japanese passport provides me with great convenience. All of this is God's preparation so that I can be readily available for use in the mission field to serve Him.
Japan is home to the 2nd largest unreached people group,There are only 0.7% Christians.I pray that I can preach the gospel in Japan soon.
On an early spring morning in 2024, I stood at a small train station in Japan, waiting for my train. I noticed an elderly man with unsteady steps and a face full of sorrow, as if burdened with heavy worries. My heart was moved by God, and I stepped forward to help him onto the train, hoping to sit beside him and share the Gospel—the message of eternal hope.
However, just as I was about to speak, the announcement rang out: "Dear passengers, please keep silent!" In Japan, maintaining silence on the train is a basic courtesy. Reluctantly, I closed my mouth, intending instead to hand him a Gospel tract—only to realize that I had forgotten to bring one. I watched as he got off at the next station, his eyes filled with helplessness and despair, gradually fading from my sight as the train moved on...
Every time I recall that moment, deep remorse and regret well up in my heart. Why hadn’t I carried a Gospel tract with me that day? Why didn’t I get off with him and share the message of salvation on the platform? Again and again, God reminds me: "The elderly have little time and few opportunities left—why are you not sharing the Gospel now go?"
Yes, the work of the Gospel must not stop, for there are still so many lost souls waiting for the light of redemption.

Please pray for missions in Japan and for missionary Eiten:
① Spiritual revival in Japan, raising up devoted ministers who preach the true Word, with churches that do not conform to worldly trends, customs, or values.
② God remembers the hardships of missionaries in pioneering and establishing churches, and His gospel spreads across this unreached land.
③ The Japanese people come to know the one true God, forsaking polytheism and ancestral worship practices.
④ In Japan, where the population is aging and birthrates are low, may young people come to faith early, and the elderly seize the opportunity to believe, with hardened hearts softened.
⑤ Closer relationships between sending churches, the Christar mission organization, on-site teams, intercessors, encouragers, and supporters, working together to fulfill the Great Commission.
⑥ Strong physical health and a heart that constantly looks to God, relying on Him to complete each mission journey to Japan.
