| Pastor Mike Navyac leads our Recovery Ministry at Olomana. He knows what people are going through and he is passionate to help those struggling with addictions and compulsive behaviors. So that they can be free and go onto serve God. Galatians 1:10 "Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ." is the verse, he stands on. After meeting his wife Kei in 1996, he grew compassion towards people in Japan and he partners with her reaching Japan for Christ. He also enjoys watching, playing and coaching baseball with his son, J-T. |
