KENT SISCO
Kent Sisco is the founder of Gospel Kanji, where he presents the discovery that the gospel message is embedded within Japanese characters as a written witness, inviting the American church to respond to the Great Commission and help bridge the gap to one of the most unreached nations on earth.
With over 30 years of experience engaging Japanese language and culture, Kent brings a unique perspective that connects Scripture, history, and language in a way that is both visually compelling and spiritually meaningful.
Through his podcast, devotional writing, and teaching, he helps believers deepen their understanding of the gospel, communicate it more effectively, and rediscover a sense of wonder in its message.
