Missions

Matsutomo Ministry is a husband and wife team living in Japan who are committed to reaching the unreached of Japan through new and innovative ways. Most Japanese need a kind friend who will listen, so their hearts can soften and receive the gospel.  With this idea at the heart of our ministry, we work to build relationships by providing a warm and low-pressure environment where Japanese can fellowship, learn new skills (crafting, sewing, DIY, digital design, cooking, English) and receive Christian encouragement and friendship. We are also working towards starting a business in the coming year, with Kaycee's crafting as a key part of our ministry. God is calling us to this work; will you partner with us?

Ben and Ashley Van Scyoc serve in Chiang Mai, Thailand with their three children, Jack, Amelia, and Leyli. After thirteen years of overseas ministry, their work now covers several areas: helping lead Anchor, a Wednesday night discipleship gathering for around 130 TCK and expat students; developing the Eremos contemplative prayer app (eremosapp.com) and a new open-source Thai Bible translation to serve the Thai church; opening their home for hospitality and discipleship of young adults, students, and fellow missionaries; and building lasting friendships that carry the gospel across their neighborhood and city to least reached Thai Buddhists. They serve under the spiritual covering of Cornerstone’s elders, with administrative and financial services provided by Axia International.
