We are the Shimomura family, or more commonly known as the Shims. Brad, Roberta, Zane, Oliver and Adelisa are missionaries to Japan. We have been Children’s Pastors for the past 10 years in the Pacific Northwest, and we are now raising our financial support to go to the other side of the Pacific Ocean to share Jesus with the children of Japan.
Brad enjoys cooking, reading, golfing and finding new ways to make his wife laugh.
Ro enjoys eating Brad’s cooking, spending time with friends and family, making coffee, exercising, and finding something new on Pinterest to make.
Zane enjoys reading, swimming, playing switch, building lego sets and robots.
Oliver enjoys playing switch, building lego sets, eating, going to the pool and playing with friends.
Addie enjoys all things pink, playing with toys, make believe play and reading.
We are available to speak in your church, host a dinner event, meet with a small group, teach a Sunday School class, or anything else that involves people! If you’d like us to come to your event, you can send an email to brad@shims2japan.com, send a facebook message, or send an Instagram direct message.
