Jason and Cori are newly married (May 15, 2021) and newly appointed missionaries to Japan! Cori was born and raised in Washington State. She attended Harvest Bible College in Scotland and served on AIM there for several years. Cori is a licensed minister with the UPCI, and after she returned home from AIM, she served in youth ministry for several years before being elected as the Washington District Youth President in 2019. It was during this time that God brought Jason and Cori together.
Jason was born and raised in Japan as a missionary kid, the youngest son of missionaries Richard and Jean Lucas. After graduating from Apostolic Bible Institute, Jason returned to Tokyo, as he felt a call to reach the people of Japan. He has worked the last seven years as an AIMer and Associate Missionary, and now, as a fully appointed missionary. Jason speaks Japanese fluently and has written and translated many songs into Japanese. He regularly preaches and teaches in Japanese.
