Richard and Debbi Ross
JAPAN
The Ross family were part of Mountlake Church while Richard was the executive pastor and an elder between 2021-2023. Richard’s gift and heart is to shape spiritually healthy disciplemakers, something he and Debbi have been doing in missions and churches across the world in Hawai’i, CA, OR, Kenya, Israel, Palestine, China, Washington DC, and WA state. They are sensing the Lord’s call to Japan - to embody God’s aloha (love) among those who share their cultural heritage. (Both Richard & Debbi are Japanese Americans.) They anticipate serving at their friends Yuichi and Satsuki Watanabe’s church in Aso, southern Japan.
The Ross’ daughter Hannah and her husband, Mark, live in Costa Mesa, CA, working as physical therapists.
