Mariko Patrick is an anointed Bible teacher and preacher based in Tokyo, Japan. She is a graduate of Biola University near Los Angeles California. Although Biola was a conservative denominational university, Mariko\u2019s hunger for more of God connected her extensively with John Wimber\u2019s ministries, the Vineyard churches, and many Spirit-filled groups. She met Spencer Patrick while on summer break a great international church near Tokyo Tower in Japan\u2019s largest city. She and Spencer married about 3 years later near Redmond, Washington. They have spent extensive time in the Word and been under great teachers.<\/p>\n

Mariko has served extensively in the Japan Assemblies of God and has been a very popular Bible teacher at the churches where she has led and taught. She continues to teach regularly on Sundays at Victory and has a passion for introducing people to Jesus, getting people baptized in the Holy Spirit and helping people understand how simple the Word of God really is.<\/p>\n

Not only does Mariko have an extensive command of the Japanese and English languages, she also helps people see the depths of the Word through the original Greek and Hebrew languages and shows them simply how to apply that to every day life.<\/div><\/div>\n
