Pete and Fi Alston are currently serving on the staff team at Jesmond Parish Church in Newcastle. Having heard of the huge gospel needs in Japan and after much prayer and preparation, they are planning to move to Japan in October 2025.

Their first step is language study. They will begin studying Japanese at Naganuma School in Tokyo and expect to be studying hard for two years in order to learn Japanese.

Their prayer is that, along the way, they can learn more about Japanese culture and life in Japan, what ministry looks like in a local church and begin to speak of Christ to those they meet. They will also join a local church in Tokyo and try do what they can to build up the church there.

Longer term, they would like to be involved in church planting and evangelism.

We covet your prayers for Pete and Fi. Please sign up for their prayer letters here (you may need to allow Google Forms to save cookies on your device for this form to be displayed correctly):
