Tim & Kylie Chen

The Navigators

UC SAN DIEGO

Tim and Kylie Chen have been serving with The Navigators since 2014. They have worked with college students at UC Irvine--their alma mater--and are currently ministering in Japan. Kylie has been part of the PVBC family since 2002, when she came to know the Lord through attending youth group. Tim happily married into the family in 2014. The two have a heart to see the gospel become real and deeply rooted in the lives people, so that those individuals can experience the freedom of living a life following Jesus and will want to help others do the same.

We are Mitsu and Karen Nakamura. Mitsu is Japanese from Japan. He came to the Lord through Campus Crusade's ministry while a college student in Tokyo. Karen is a sansei from California, who also came to the Lord through CCC in LA. We've been working with Japan Campus Crusade for over 30 years -- for many years on campus discipling students, and then in various positions --  Mitsu as training director and national director, and now teaching resource team director, Karen in ministry to neighborhood moms and in Human Resources for Japan CCC. We have three children, Abe, 24, teaching English conversation at a church in Kobe; Miye, 22, almost graduated from college and seeking God's future direction; Emi, 19, seeking to enter music college in Japan. We are so grateful for your faithful support and prayers! We could not be here without you.
