Roy Toma

From the time I first shared the Gospel as a college student, I knew that sharing Christ and making disciples was my calling in life. After college, I served in the church, started a plumbing business, got my Masters in Divinity (M.Div) and later spent fourteen years in the mission field in Japan with my wife Nancy, and three children. I continue to enjoy spreading the Gospel message and equipping others.

In the summer of 2017, our ministry in Japan finished and we returned home to care for my mother. To see my family's testimony on why we needed to leave Japan, AARP did a 3.39-minute ad sharing our story. click here

From 2017 to February 2024, I served at the JEMS Headquarters as the Japan Missions Director. Today I am no longer employed at JEMS, but serve as a volunteer JEMS Japan Affiliate. I continue to serve as an advisor and mentor for the Japan missionaries as well as raise financial support for the establishment of the JEMS legal entity in Japan. Your gift and offerings will go primarily to that cause.  I look forward to continuing to share the Gospel and use my experience and skills to minister to the needs of the JEMS missionaries in Japan.
