Tony and his wife, Miyako, feel incredibly blessed as they look back on their lives and see how the hand of YAHWEH God has led and guided them, even in seasons when their minds and hearts were not fully focused on Him.

Tony was brought out of a complacent and lukewarm Christian experience through the powerful testimony of Miyako’s salvation through Christ. Miyako came to faith in Christ from a life rooted in Buddhism and service in her father’s Buddhist temple.

Tony and Miyako have been part of Redeeming Hope Church since its beginning in the fall of 2021, faithfully walking alongside the church as it has grown.

Tony served on the board that established Redeeming Hope Church’s Doctrinal Statements and Bylaws.

Together, Tony and Miyako see their calling reflected in Acts 2:42, encouraging the Body of Christ through small group fellowship, the teaching of God’s Word, and prayer. This calling is reflected in their heart for building relationships and helping believers grow together in Christ.

Tony and Miyako met in Kyoto, Japan, and have been married for 36 years. They have two children, Kyoko, 30, and Hikaru, 24, and are blessed with two grandchildren, Eliyah and Yuzu.

Their lives are a beautiful testimony of YAHWEH’s faithfulness and of His ability to lead, restore, and use our stories for His purposes.

Keith and his wife, Rusty, have been part of Redeeming Hope Church since the church’s inception in mid 2021.

Keith was raised in a broken home, but even during those early years, he experienced God’s love through his mother and maternal grandparents, who were believers and faithful followers of Jesus. Keith accepted Jesus when he was 13 years old, but it was not until his early 40s that he truly experienced the transforming power of God’s love in his heart.

Keith and Rusty were married in 2018. Together, they have four children, all of whom are married, and six grandchildren. Time with family is something they deeply cherish and, like so many families, they always wish there could be more of it.

At Redeeming Hope Church, Keith serves as the Director of Finance, is a member of the Elder Board, and serves as part of the Security Team. He also served as Chairman of the Elder Board in 2023 and 2024.

Keith’s story is a testimony to the faithfulness of God and the transforming power of His love, and he is grateful for the opportunity to use his gifts to faithfully serve the Redeeming Hope Church family.

Russ became a Christian in April 2001 during a spiritual weekend called A Walk to Emmaus. Since then, he has continued to grow in his faith through Bible Study Fellowship and through his involvement in many small groups, as well as a few larger ones.

Over the years, Russ has witnessed countless lives changed when believers come together in genuine community, share their lives with one another, and view life through the truth of God’s Word. These experiences have given him a deep appreciation for the importance of fellowship, biblical community, and growing together in Christ.

Russ is married to Sharon and has two married daughters and three stepdaughters. Together, Russ and Sharon are blessed with twelve grandchildren.

Professionally, Russ has worked as a financial advisor since 1973 and continues to serve his clients in a semi retired capacity.

Russ is grateful for the opportunities God has given him to grow in faith, build meaningful relationships, and encourage others through the truth of His Word.

John and Doreen feel incredibly blessed to have found Redeeming Hope Church in the summer of 2022. They believe God had His hand in leading them to RHC, and they are deeply grateful to be part of this church family.

John became a believer at a business function in 1986 and spent the years that followed growing in his faith and relationship with the Lord. In 2023, John became an Elder at Redeeming Hope Church and currently serves as Chairman of the Elder Board.

Family is an important part of John and Doreen’s lives. Between the two of them, they are blessed with seven children and fourteen grandchildren.

John and Doreen also have a heart for fellowship and building Christian community. They open their home to host Flocks, where as many as 75 people gather to share a meal, pray, study God’s Word, fellowship, and grow together in their faith.

John and Doreen are thankful for the way God led them to Redeeming Hope Church and for the opportunity to serve, grow, and do life alongside their church family.
