Pastor Tommy
Pastor Tommy has been a Pastor since 1991. Soon after Graduating from LIFE Bible College in Los Angeles he went to his home town of Corona California and began Livingwater Fellowship. After a few years the church was changed to Calvary Chapel Livingwater as they became an affiliate church of Calvary Chapel. After pastoring the church for 14 years, he and his family heard the call of God in 2004 to move to Okinawa Japan where he first began taking missionary trips with Rick Barnett in February of 2000. The calling to live in Okinawa full time was to start the Calvary Chapel Bible College in Okinawa as well as plant churches all over the island. Pastor Tommy has a beautiful wife named Joanna, and four wonderful Children; Zach, Hannah, Michal, Asa. You can contact Pastor Tommy at tommyruizjr@hotmail.com
