Chris’ experience of the world of missions began at the age of eight, when his family went to south India. Eight formative years there shaped his awareness of the scope of God’s work in the world. In 2003, while teaching English in Japan, Chris and his wife, Lee sensed that God had other purposes for them in Japan. That required further training, so back in New Zealand Chris began an MTh exploring Christian rituals as culturally relevant modes of discipleship for Japanese Christians. Between 2007 and 2011, Chris and Lee spent 3½ years working in a small Japanese-led international church. Now Chris is the at-home-parent for his family of two girls and a boy. Chris enjoys writing poetry and theologically-themed garden landscaping projects at home.
