Bryan graduated from Christian Academy in Japan in 2008 and is currently in his first year at LeTourneau University in Longview, Texas. His major is electrical engineering.

His major hobby is bird watching. He is really serious about it! In addition, he juggles.

At the beginning of his summer 2007 vacation, Bryan participated in a two week missions ministry in Japan. He was part of a HiBA (High School Born Againers) evangelistic team, reaching out to Japanese high schoolers. Each morning the teams handed out tracts and invitations to an evangelistic rally that same afternoon. At the rally a Japanese evangelist presented the gospel, while the teams led singing, did skits, etc. Some pics are below, including a video of Bryan's baptism in 2006.

So is he jogging for exercise or running to take a look at another bird (2006)?

On September 10, 2006, Bryan was baptized by his Dad. We arranged the outdoor baptism as part of the life of the Kodama church, with the hope of encouraging other young people to also be baptized. Kodama church is the mother church of our church planting project at Tomioka City.
