The Hansen Christian Center provides a much-needed home-away-from-home for 50-60 Marines per week, while the Fraziers provide hospitality gospel-centered relationships through a variety of activities: recreational activities, one-on-one discipleship, Bible studies, and mentoring.

Yet many structural challenges come with the combination of an over 50-year-old building in a hot and humid climate. The HCC is a concrete building built to survive the many typhoons that visit the island. Constant repairs are required to maintain the water proofing needed in such a harsh environment. The doors and windows are all old and in need of replacement, which would also help with the electrical bills being lowered.  

We are asking God and ministry partners for $65,000 for doors, windows, and plumbing. While these are our priority projects, as the list on this page shows, there are others that need attention as well. Join in the fruitful and continuing ministry of Hansen Christian Center by your gifts and prayers so that many more military people may be reached and discipled in this place for years to come. 

If you’d like to hear an interview with Darrow and Vicki Frazier, check out the InCadence podcast dated September 1, 2025 and titled The Cadence Way—We Stay.

If this project is canceled for any reason or if excess funds are raised, any remaining balance will be used to further the ministry of Cadence International. The local ministry raising funds for this project will be given first consideration. 

This Year’s Focus: The Hansen Christian Center, Okinawa, Japan

The Hansen Christian Center in Okinawa, Japan was established by Cadence in 1969 and is currently being staffed by Darrow and Vicki Frazier, who have served there sacrificially for over ten years now. HCC—or as the Marines call it, “The House”—is located within walking distance of Camp Hansen. Camp Hansen is a predominantly single and unaccompanied (married with families left behind in the States) base. The Hansen Christian Center provides a much-needed home-away-from-home for 50-60 Marines per week, while the Fraziers provide hospitality gospel-centered relationships through a variety of activities: recreational activities, one-on-one discipleship, Bible studies, and mentoring.
