South Site Elder

Campus: South

Yoshi was born in Japan, but has spent most of his life in the United States. Yoshi & Shelley were married in 1991 and they have four children: Andrew, Alyssa, Stephen, and Leighton. They love to worship, fellowship, and serve the Lord Jesus together as a family. Yoshi currently manages a team of engineers for Starkey Laboratories in Eden Prairie.

God graciously brought Yoshi to Himself in 1999 and gave him Proverbs 3:5 as a life verse. Since coming to Bethlehem in 2005, Yoshi has taken on roles such as Jr High Sunday School teacher, co-leader for Father/Son Quest, and take-down crew member at the South Site. Yoshi has a heart to minister to and join with other men for fellowship, building each other up, and seeking our Lord and Savior in community. He also has a desire to glorify God by training up the next generation to find their joy in him.
