We’re Soren and Misako Haidri, a husband-and-wife missionary team based in Sendai, Japan.

 

Our heart is to share the love of Jesus with the people of Japan—a nation rich in culture and tradition, yet one of the least reached with the Gospel.

 

With less than 1% of Japan identifying as Christian, we believe that new, creative approaches are needed to reach hearts. That’s why we’ve launched Through the Sheep Gate, a YouTube channel producing original animations and stories that reflect the hope of the Gospel in a way that’s meaningful and accessible.

 

Soren has been serving in Japan for over six years with YWAM. He’s passionate about storytelling through film and animation, and loves hiking, making videos, and indie survival games (especially Subnautica).

 

Misako is a talented artist who enjoys drawing, animating, playing Animal Crossing, and watching classic Disney and Studio Ghibli films.

 

Together, we’re using our creativity and faith to create content that encourages, inspires, and shares the light of Christ with people in Japan and beyond.
