International Missions

Peter and Diane have served in Japan as MTW missionaries since 1990. Peter’s responsibilities include evangelistic Bible studies, discipleship, and communication of the gospel in Japanese through special events and messages. Many of the events center around art since Peter has a BFA in illustration in addition to his master’s degree from Columbia International University Seminary & School of Ministry. Diane serves in many aspects of the team’s ministry including hospitality in the home.

The Watanabes have either been church-planting missionaries, or have trained and coached church planters since 1989. They moved to Japan in 2015 to serve and partner with emerging MTW church-planting networks both locally and in the greater Asia Pacific region. Gary and Lois have served with MTW in Mexico and the Philippines, and have worked with Redeemer City to City in New York working both locally and globally.
