‘Man in Japan (Joshua Grimsdale)’
Born near Toronto, Canada in the 1980s, Joshua became a Christian after learning that Jesus will never leave us and will help us through times of suffering. He was baptized at 16 and graduated from Uni after 4 years of studying Mathematical Sciences.
Nothing out of the ordinary so far – except that Joshua is now working as a Missionary in Japan and has severe cerebral palsy – it affects all 4 limbs and so he uses an electric wheelchair!
His vision is to bring glory to God by being a witness to the disabled in Japan and to equip the local church to do the same. Joshua has had struggles in learning the language, finding a carer to be with him in Japan and finding accessible accommodation but he has already seen many answers to prayer and is loving the adventure.
