Gene and Minori Hall have been serving with the FMWM since August 2019. They make their home in Japan supporting the Free Methodist churches. Their primary role is leadership training in Southeast Asia, working to equip Christian leaders with the tools to lead well. They also assist countries in developing a plan of discipleship to help new believers be rooted in Christ from the moment they receive Christ.
As a U.S.-based partner for FMWM-Asia, Kristen travels to Asia to teach pastoral development modules as part of the Gethsemane Leadership Training team. She represents the Asia Area director supporting and developing the Free Methodist Church in Creative Access-BG in partnership with the Immanuel Conference of Creative Access-IN. She also coaches and encourages Asian women in ministry.
Chris and Yuko Wilkins have joined the Gethsemane Leadership Training team, emphasizing pastoral training without requiring traditional seminary. They mentor leaders who, in turn, mentor others. They are also involved in various ministries in Japan, including café Bible studies for seekers, street ministry, seminary classes, neighborhood outreach, English classes in various settings and the local Free Methodist Church.
