Bernie and Akiko were married in November 2015 and have since been serving the Church of God congregations in Kyushu, Japan’s southern island. Bernie has served the Church of God in Japan since first going to Japan in 1976 as a special assignment missionary with his first wife, the late Cheryl Johnson Barton.

Akiko grew up attending the Tarumi Church of God in Kobe, where Bernie and Cheryl pastored from 1982 to 2003.
