Profile: The Rev. Kana Shimasaki

This month on UMC.org Profiles, the Rev. Kana Shimasaki, associate pastor of West Los Angeles United Methodist Church in California, shares her faith story.

Rev. Shimasaki was born in Tokyo, Japan and came to the United States as a teenager.  She’s been blind since she was a child, but did not let that keep her from accomplishing any of the dreams she had for her life.  She’s led several Japanese-speaking congregations, overcoming obstacles and growing closer to God every step of the way.
