We’re Andrew and Noel Hiura, and we recently got married and stepped into full-time missions together.

Our journey began with YWAM Kona through the Fire and Fragrance DTS, where God stirred a deep hunger in us to know Him and make Him known. After staffing in Kona, we felt led to be further equipped in the Word and are currently attending a Bible school with Ethnos 360. Our desire is to live lives fully surrendered to Jesus, to grow in intimacy with Him, and to follow wherever He leads.

We both carry a strong call to the unreached, with a specific heart for Japan. With less than 1% of the population knowing Jesus, Japan remains one of the largest unreached nations in the world. That reality breaks our hearts and fuels our vision to go long-term with the Gospel. We’re committed to preparing well—through discipleship, deep biblical training, and cultural understanding—so that we can carry the love of Jesus effectively.

Thank you for standing with us through your prayers, support, and encouragement as we follow Him into the nations.
