Pastor’s Profile
Pastor Yuji Hayashi of San Diego Kibō Church
After 20 years in the banking industry, Pastor Hayashi encountered Jesus Christ through a mysterious guidance from God at the age of 40, receiving faith. Three years later, he retired from banking and embarked on the path to become a pastor. After serving as a pastor for 13 years at Eugene Japanese Baptist Church in Oregon, he was led to pioneer a new Japanese church in San Diego with his wife in August 2023.
In the midst of working as a corporate employee in Japan, Pastor Hayashi sought the purpose and vision of life, experiencing struggles and conflicts. However, encountering Jesus Christ dramatically changed Pastor Hayashi’s life, making it meaningful. The love and grace of Christ can transform anyone’s life into a journey filled with hope and joy. The Word of God (Bible) is alive and powerful, and Pastor Hayashi sincerely wish to share the beauty of walking with God’s Word with as many people as possible.
