Jack and Ashley ketteman- HOpe Alive Tokorazawa, Japan
After completing a 2.5 year internship, Jack and Ashley were appointed in 2021 as career missionaries to Japan. After 14 years of youth/family ministry in the States, they moved to Tokyo near the end of 2018 to join the Hope Alive church-planting team, helping establish a bilingual church in Tokorozawa.
The Kettemans returned to Japan in the Summer of 2022. In their first term as career missionaries, they are currently enrolled in a full-time language school, while still serving at Hope Alive on a smaller scale. They hope to re-enter full-time ministry better equipped to share the Gospel in the Japanese language.
The Kettemans have three kids: Jane, Callie, and Carter.
