Redeemer Mission?

Redeemer Mission (501(c)(3) status: pending) is the growth of our ministry, which engages the people of Northeast Asia with the love and message of Jesus Christ. It exists to advance the love of God by proclaiming the message of Jesus Christ to all nations through Scripture-centered mission, discipleship, and gospel witness. Your financial contributions are essential in facilitating the ministry begun in 2013 in Northeast Asia to reach the most isolated people groups in the world, who have yet to hear and receive the message of Jesus Christ.

These contributions help expand outreach through art and cultural exchanges, business development, and language and theology initiatives in places such as Tokyo, Japan, and the DPRK, where Christ is least known. Through these avenues, Redeemer Mission is poised for long-term outreach efforts rooted in unwavering fidelity to God’s Word and His commission to us as His followers.

Your partnership extends this work with integrity, clarity, and conviction for the sake of Christ and His Church.

“Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.” — Jesus (John 17:17)

Who We Are

We’re Rob and Emily Alsobrook, along with our two daughters, Camille and Ruby. For the past several years, we’ve been living and ministering in South Korea—planting churches, discipling locals, and sharing the hope of Jesus with those often overlooked by traditional churches.

Before this chapter of our lives, I (Rob) wore a few hats—art professor, contractor, real estate broker, restaurant owner, and full-time artist. I hold a BA in Art and Psychology and an MFA in Studio Art. Today, I serve as an ordained missionary pastor, sent out from Northbrook Church in Tennessee, and I’m currently pursuing a master’s in theology online through Midwestern Seminary.

Emily, the organized and steady heart of our family, has an MBA and years of experience managing teams and finances.  

Our journey in ministry began years ago, shaped by mentors and ministry efforts in Northeast Asia from 2014-2016. We've been learning, growing, and going ever since.

What’s Happening Now

Since 2013, we’ve been part of sharing the gospel in Asia—but now, God is leading us to expand His reach into Tokyo, Japan. The mission is clear: bring the light of Christ to places where His name is rarely known and often misunderstood.

Why Japan and Korea?

While South Korea is known for its many churches, spiritual confusion abounds. Cults, shamanism, and secularism are on the rise, and many people—even those surrounded by religious symbols—have never heard the true Gospel.

Japan, meanwhile, is considered the second-largest unreached people group in the world and Tokyo itself is the largest concentration of unbelievers in the world. Though it’s one of the most developed nations on earth, it remains spiritually barren. Churches are rare. Christians are isolated. And many will live and die without ever hearing about the hope found in Christ.

We want to change that.

We also believe our years of experience among Koreans will help us reach the large Korean diaspora in Japan (where we're beginning)—creating bridges between cultures and opening new doors for ministry.

How We’re Going

We’re not doing this alone. We serve alongside other Christian missionaries and gospel-centered organizations. We’re sent out by our home church—Northbrook Church in Tennessee—and we’re committed to teamwork, accountability, and transparency in all we do.

Still, we rely on financial partnerships to make this mission possible.

What Your Giving Supports:

- **Evangelism** – Taking the gospel into spiritually dark and overlooked places.  

- **Language Training** – So we can share clearly and meaningfully in local languages.  

- **Local Discipleship** – Training and encouraging believers where the church is weak or nonexistent.  

- **Faith-Based Art & Media** – Creating engaging, culturally sensitive tools that reach people where they are both online and offline.  

- **Living Expenses** – Helping us pay rent, utilities, education, and travel, with all income reported and taxed as a salary.

Join Us in the Mission

This isn’t just about our family—it’s about the Great Commission. When you give, you’re part of something much bigger: bringing the love and truth of Jesus to those who’ve never heard His name.

We can’t do this without your partnership. Will you walk with us?
