Description

Ethan Machida is a first-generation Japanese American born in Sapporo, Japan. His mother is American, of Scottish descent, and his father is Japanese. When he was three years old, Ethan and his family moved to the United States, to a town in northern Michigan called Frankfort. After living there for about 10 years, the family moved for Ethan's father's work, which took them to Coldwater, Michigan. In college, Ethan first studied engineering before feeling called to pastoral studies, which brought him to Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. As a young adult, Ethan decided to engage more with Japanese language, food, and Christian Japanese religious history in order to reconnect with his personal Japanese identity and ancestry.
