Wong, Thomas

Thomas Wong learned about Japan as a mission field in college and was struck by how few Christians were there. Being of Japanese descent on his grandmother’s side, his heart was moved to pray for missions in Japan. It was toward the end of college that he first considered going to Japan as a missionary. He attended CrossCon, a missionary conference for college students, and met with missionaries from MTW’s Christ Bible Institute (CBI). Later he would do a summer study abroad in Japan to study Japanese religions. During that time he was able to visit Christ Bible Institute in Nagoya, Japan, and afterward felt a call by God to pursue missions.

Thomas pursued theological education in preparation for the mission field and enrolled at Princeton Theological Seminary for his M.Div. During this time Thomas served in a yearlong internship with CBI and was able to confirm his calling for missions in Japan.

Thomas’ desire is to see a new generation of leaders for the Church in Japan. For this he will serve at CBI in their publishing ministry to produce theological resources. As he grows into this ministry Thomas will continue to serve at Kita Yokkaichi Church, learn Japanese, and share the gospel with as many people as he can.
