Missions Conference, Radio, and Salvation!

by

Grace Baptist Church

Last week was a blast at Grace Baptist Church in Newport, NC. We were there for their anual missions conference, and the Lord really blessed! We met many wonderful families, and made some friends! Many of the families we spoke with had served in the military in Japan, and it was interesting to hear about their experiences there!

We praise the Lord for all the work that went into the conference. Each day, members of the church would volunteer their time to make delicious meals for all the missionaries. We would also like to personally thank Georgia and Jess who opened their home to us, and even gave up their master bedroom for our comfort! We thank you for your sacrifice and are humbled by your generosity!

Throughout the week we were able to meet with Pastor Eborn and learn from his experiences as well as many of the staff members. Bro. Miller, had some great advice on culture shock and adjusting to life on the foreign field!

FBN Radio

Grace Baptist has a radio station that broadcasts through many states, reaching tens of thousands of people. I am grateful for the opportunity to talk about Japan! If you would like to listen to their Christ honoring radio station you can do so by visiting their website at www.fbnradio.com. You can also listen to my plea for Japan, that aired last week, by clicking Will Hill to Japan FBN.

Dawn got saved!

We were able to go on visitation during the days of the conference with many of the men of the church and fellow missionaries. On Friday I was able to speak to a Catholic woman named Dawn. I began to talk to her about how my mom grew up Catholic and had many doubts about where she would go if she died. That struck a cord with Dawn, and she listened intently as I shared The Gospel. I saw tears begin to form in her eyes. I asked her if she understood what God had done for her, and if she would repent and turn to Christ. Right then and there she prayed accepting Christ as her Savior! Praise the Lord there’s still power in the Gospel! Please pray as Dawn grows in the Lord!

6 New Supporting Churches

March was one crazy month as we traveled thousands of miles, but the Lord took care of us each step of the way. We were in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and California! Which marks our first coast to coast trip.

One morning we woke up in Beaufort, SC near the Atlantic and that night we were in San Bernadino, CA near the Pacific Ocean. We were in 3 missions conferences and 11 meetings. We had 5 new churches take us on for support!

On the first Wednesday of April, we had another church vote to take us on. We praise the Lord for what He has been doing through His people! Thank you, to each person who has prayed for us and each church that has had us in to present our ministry!

Pray for Kani City 可児市

by

Kani city is located in the Gifu Prefecture and has an estimated population of 99,318. Athens, GA (Home of the Bull Dogs) is 3x larger in area, but has close to the same amount of people. Hopefully that gives you a better idea of how dense the population is in Kani. The town of Kani was formed in 1955 by a merger of 7 towns and villages, and later gained its city status in April 1, 1982.

Kani City is located in the “heart” of Japan, in the south part of Gifu Prefecture. It is a city formed on tradition and history, with abundant greenery and a rich natural environment. The hill situated in the east part of the city is famous for being the cradle of Shino Pottery. The central part is famous for being the place where the great General Mitsuhide Aketi was born and for the ruins of Akechi Castle.

Many Buddhist and Shinto Shrines are located throughout the city. Every time I see a picture of one, it reminds me of Is. 45:20 “…they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save”
