Rob and Susan Kaylor have been missionaries in Japan for nearly 25 years. After working under several Japanese pastors, they began working with Rob’s parents who pioneered and have pastored Ariake Bible Church since 1987. In 1999 Rob and Susan became the senior pastors of Ariake Bible Church. Their vision is to see a strong, healthy local church raised up in Arao that will impact the surrounding region, and reach out to the whole island of Kyushu and beyond to the world. They work closely with other local Japanese pastors to strengthen and build the churches throughout Kyushu and Japan.

Rob

Born and raised in Japan as the son of missionaries Leo and Phyllis Kaylor. While still a teenager he received a very specific calling to minister in Japan. After completing high school by homeschooling, he attended Portland Bible College and then returned to Japan with his wife Susan.

Susan

Born in Mathis, Texas, she was raised in a pastor’s home. Susan’s parents, Weldon and Lorene Martin, were involved in home missions reaching out to Hispanics. She felt a strong call to missions and after high school she attended Portland Bible College. Although her original impression was to be a missionary in Africa like her aunt, God uniquely knit Susan’s heart with Rob’s, and together they united their vision to minister in Japan.
