케냐의 일본인 여성| The One With Yuka Itakura Mwashimba – On Faith, Family, and Acculturation: Episode 19 (2021)
Today's episode is an uplifting story of a woman whose encounter and journey with God made her whole.
Yuka Itakura Mwashimba was born in Japan to a Shinto-Buddhist family. She proceeded to study for her MA in the UK as a humanitarian aid worker. There, she met her husband, Nick, and got married in Kenya in 2010 after working for a humanitarian NGO in Japan for one year. Yuka is a mom of two daughters and is passionate about evangelism and sharing the love of Christ.
In this episode, Yuka shares her experience growing up under an abusive father, struggling with suicidal thoughts, and finding freedom after giving her life to Christ. We also talked about her marriage to her Kenyan husband, adopting a new life in Kenya, her motherhood journey, the music school she launched with her husband, and raising kids in cultural abundance.
There are so many life lessons to glean from Yuka's story, do take a listen.
