The Ujifusa’s are a family of five, Dave and Anne
and their three children, two daughters and one
son, Emma, Daniel, and Sarah. Dave was born in
Hollywood, California, his parents were both born
in the United States and both sets of grandparents
came from Japan in the early 1900’s. Anne was born
in England. Dave and Anne met in Madrid, Spain
in 1991 where Dave was working as a computer
programmer for Proctor and Gamble and Anne
was working as an English teacher for a private
language school that taught mainly business people.
Anne also worked in the city mission as a volunteer
with homeless people serving coffee and giving
support while they were looking for jobs. They met
in a Spanish speaking church and married in 1996.
Their first daughter, Emma, has just completed her
freshman year at Pepperdine University – where
she is studying music Education as a voice major.
Daniel will be a senior at Foothill High School
next year. His passion is music and he belongs to
the Madrigals Choir. Sarah who also loves singing,
will be in the 8th grade this fall at Hewes Middle
School. All 3 children have sung in all of the
children and teen choirs at Trinity.
Dave grew up believing in the Bible and living as
a Christian. He started attending Trinity United
Presbyterian Church at seven years old and has been
there ever since, apart from when living overseas.
Anne grew up attending a Methodist church but it
wasn’t until she was visiting Israel at age 19 with
a group from her University that she really understood
that God loved her and Jesus died for her. She
committed her life to God at that point.
