Influence

to become a missionary- I can t ruthfully say my decision

to

become

a missionary comes from a

sincere

commitment to God s Word and the realization

that

od

wants

His Word

spread

everywhere.

My

decision

to

choose

Japan:is

based

on several

reasons,

I

spent

two and one half years

in Japan whi le

in

the

Navy,

I spent

quite

a bit of time studying

the

culture and

the

language. In the process

I gained an appreciation and a

special

love for the people of Japan and

dame

to

real ize moreso

the i r

need for

the

God

whom

we know,

Japan i s also

ray

wife s

homeland. She

wil l

not be going

out

but going home ,

Our purpose in missions, what

hope

to

accomplish on the mission field Our

purpose can be

stated very simply. We

hope

to present to

as

many

people as

is

absolutely

possible;

the

Gospel

of

Christ,

So

that

they

might

intelligently

choose between the

l i fe

style they now live and the one that Christianity offers.

Our goal is not to convert

all

of apan - though that would be nice - (after

all

conversion is

the

Holy Spirit s job), our

goal

is

to

give Japan another option

f rom whic h

to choose Jesus
