🔆Just 2 days until camp!
Our Morning Speakers are Pastor Kirby and Miwa! What a journey they are on and we are blessed to have them teach and share the word of God all week.
🔆Kirby Sato is a missionary with AGWM with a passion to see revival in Japan. Raised in Tokyo, he became a first-generation Christian through a street outreach and later served over 12 years as a young adult pastor in a church planting movement that launched nearly 20 campuses across Asia. He also contributed to the Japanese Old Testament translation on the YouVersion Bible app.
Most recently, Kirby pastored young adults across 11 campuses at River Valley Church in Minnesota and was the associate campus pastor for River Valley- downtown Minneapolis campus. Now, he and his wife Miwa, with their three children, are returning to Tokyo to plant a life-giving church and launch a Gospel-centered coffee shop to reach the lost and build community.
🔆Miwa Sato was born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota. She felt called to be a missionary to Japan when she was 8 years old. After graduating North Central University, she packed her bags and moved to Tokyo by herself, where she got involved in a church planting movement in Tokyo. She got married to Kirby a year after he came to church and got saved. Now they have three boys. While she was involved in women’s ministry and young adult ministry all throughout her ministry in Japan, she is most recently serving at River Valley Church in Minnesota. Now her family is getting ready to move to Tokyo to plant a life-giving church and launch a Gospel-centered coffee shop to reach the lost and build community.
