Aloha! Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. As an Associate Pastor under Pastor Bill Stonebraker at Calvary Chapel Honolulu, the Lord led Travis and Dawn to first pray for Japan and then finally step out in faith and follow the Lord's leading from the sparkling beaches and familiar faces of Hawaii to the "Land of the Rising Sun". Just a simple burden for the lost revealed the lifelong preparation the sovereign and omnipotent Lord had provided. In the winter of 2001, along with Rich and Candice Rose, members and friends from Calvary Chapel Honolulu, Travis, Dawn, and their (at that time) 3 month old daughter Erika moved to Tokorozawa. After a year of serving and learning at Calvary Chapel West Tokyo with Pastor Katsumi Santo, in February 2003, Calvary Chapel Tokorozawa was begun with the simple principles to "love as Christ loves," being "fed by the Word and led by the Holy Spirit." Now Pastor Travis, Dawn, Erika, Evan (born 01/18/04 in Japan) are enjoying life in Japan, sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.

The story of the prodigal son is one that speaks to us all at some point in our lives. I am no exception. I believed upon Jesus Christ but gave myself to pleasures of this world. But God is gracious and called me back to Himself and as I walked back down the road towards the Father, I had the same feeling as the prodigal’s son, just let me serve You Lord. And in that there is so much joy. God has given me such a wonderful love for the nation of Japan and nothing would make me happier than to see the move of the Holy Spirit in this nation. I am simply here to be a part of what God is going to do in this nation, that I might pass out the bread as the disciples did upon the feeding of the 5 thousand and see the miracles of God up-close-and-personal and marvel at His Grace.
