Missionaries Japan Josh and Alicia Crowe Biography

PRESENT MINISTRY
Josh and Alicia were approved as career missionaries to Japan in April 2007, and are currently raising funds and prayer support. They will spend the first two years of ministry in Hokkaido, Japan, completing language school. After language school they hope to be involved in university ministry.

CONVERSION
Josh was born in Amory, Mississippi, and lived there until the age of 13, when he moved to Nashville, Tennessee. He graduated high school and attended one year of college at MTSU. He became a Christian while living in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, at the age of 18. He transferred to the Free Will Baptist Bible College and sat his first semester under Clint Morgan, who was influential in preparing Josh’s heart for a life of intercultural ministry.

Alicia was born in Tarboro, North Carolina, and lived in New Bern, North Carolina. She became a Christian at a young age and sought earnestly to follow God’s leading. That leading eventually led her to speak with Donnie McDonald about possibilities of serving in Japan. She packed and moved to Hokkaido, Japan, for a two-year assignment.

CHILDREN
Their daughter, Ruby Day, was born December 4.
