Gene and Minori Hall have served with Free Methodist World Missions since August 2019. Based in Japan, they support Free Methodist churches and disciple young professionals.

As a U.S.-based partner with Free Methodist World Missions – Asia, Kristen serves on the Gethsemane Leadership Training (GLT) team, traveling to Asia to teach pastoral development modules and equip emerging leaders for ministry. Working closely with the Asia Area director, she supports leadership development in creative access contexts through teaching, mentoring and collaborative partnership that strengthen pastors and advance disciple-making movements.
