Support for the Hogaki family

Donation protected
On July 16th, Hiro Hogaki went to heaven to be with our Lord. Hiro and his family went out to the beach after church that Sunday, when two of his precious children were swept out into the ocean.
Hiro went after them and rescued them. By God's grace, both of his children lived and were not harmed. But, Hiro drowned and passed on.
Hiro Hogaki is survived by his beloved wife, Ruthanne and their seven kids. They have been faithfully living and serving in Shimane Japan since the summer of 2021 as missionaries. Previously, Hiro was the Pastor of First Japanese Baptist church in Ft Worth, TX, and their family had also been faithful members of Rock Creek Baptist Church.
Hiro and Ruthanne's vision for their life in Shimane was to build a chapel where people could come and get married with Hiro as the officiant. He planned to give biblical marital counseling and provide them with the gospel as their marital foundation. They also wanted to use their farm animals as a petting farm for the kids around the area to come and enjoy and learn more about Jesus.

Hiro was a faithful father, husband, pastor and friend. We all loved Hiro and we miss him dearly.
This Go Fund Me fund will be used towards Hiro's family and the expected financial needs that they will have. If you are led to give, please do so for Hiro's family.
Thank you for your love and support for them in this time.
