Maki Hagan
Maki was born and grew up in Tokyo, Japan. She moved to the U.S. when she started her new journey with her husband Chris who has served in U.S. Navy since 2003. They have been stationed in Virginia, Hawaii, Japan and San Diego, and have 3 beautiful children, John, Michele and Ilah. Maki did not grow up in any religious belief but she was always interested in Christian life. She tried to go to some churches but she felt that she was an outsider for a long time. Then she met Pastor Steve and his church, and finally felt welcomed. She got baptized by Pastor Steve in 2016. She loves spending time with her family and their dog, and she loves cooking and crafts.
