Tokyo Multicultural Church has been without a Japanese pastor since spring 2024. Japanese ministries have been led by a part-time senior missionary couple from the USA. English and Chinese ministries have missionary pastors in place, although not a full-time English pastor until summer 2026. So when an EFC of Japan senior pastor in Tokyo recommended a possible lady candidate, Dale followed up. She is indeed interested but not sure yet whether to let her name stand as part-time Japanese pastor at TMC. She holds an M.Div. degree from Japan Bible Seminary and has pastored for five years. She and her husband lived in Europe or the USA before marrying. They have two girls—a baby and a 6 yr. old. The family visited TMC for the first time on Aug. 10. If she does decide to let her name stand, TMC's Leadership Team will need to decide whether to officially invite her and then she would enter the candidate process.
