Janary Suyat is from the Philippines. She comes from the Metro Manila District, where she served as a pastor from 2007 to 2014 and was ordained as an elder in the Church of the Nazarene in 2013. In the same year, she received her Master of Divinity from Asia-Pacific Nazarene Theological Seminary. She served as the Asia-Pacific Regional Youth Coordinator from 2013 to 2025, where she also facilitated mobilization and cross-cultural training for young and emerging leaders across the region. Currently, she serves as the Global NYI Ministry Development Coordinator and East Asia Field Pioneer Ministry Coordinator. She is deeply committed to developing youth leaders, and her passions include discipleship, preaching, and teaching God’s Word.

Janary’s call to cross-cultural ministry began after participating in Global NYI’s 12:7 Serve in 2012. Along with 11 other young people from different regions, she served for six months in seven different areas across the Mesoamerica Region. During that time, her eyes were opened to the realities of people and cultures different from her own—many of whom had never even heard about Jesus. It was there that she sensed the Lord’s call to unreached people groups. She desires to invest her gifts and talents so that those who have never heard about Jesus may come to know and follow Him as well.

Since 2014, she has been living in Japan, where she has found opportunities to connect with and build relationships among Japanese youth, especially those who have never heard the gospel before. Your continued prayers and partnership enable her to serve in the many ways the Lord opens doors for building meaningful relationships with people from different backgrounds.
