Originally from Pennsylvania, Stephen and Alexndra Tipton have been serving as missionaries in Japan with Reaching and Teaching International Ministries since 2023. Their goal is to further the Gospel’s reach amongst the Japanese people, which is one of the least reached people groups in the world.

As missionaries, they have been attending language school, immersing themselves in the Japanese culture, building relationships, and partnering with local churches to train local leaders to share the Gospel in Japan.
