The Cropseys are a part of a team of doctors running a hospital and residency program in Burundi. John is an ophthalmologist and Jessica helps run a homeschool co-op.
Craig teaches New Testament at Christ Bible Seminary in Japan, while Yumiko ministers through music at the seminary and their local church.
Japan is home to one of the largest unreached people groups in the world, Craig and Yumiko strive to equip Japanese to reach Japan with the gospel.
Craig is the interim president of Christ Bible Seminary, a graduate-level school of theology that teaches Reformed theology but is open to students from an array of denominational backgrounds. CBS strives to ground a new generation of pastors and Christian leaders in the gospel and equip them to extend the gospel to the lost of Japan and to expand the Church in this least-reached nation. In addition to more administrative roles, Craig teaches New Testament and occasionally other subjects and does his best to organize the library. Yumiko’s ministry is primarily through music and hospitality at church.
Pray for Craig and Yumiko’s health as they continue their work despite numerous physical setbacks. Pray that they would find time to rest. Pray they would have the resources they need to continue to spread the gospel in Japan.
