Mission Stories

Hello everyone,

Last month our church member Elder Nakaniwa, who was the first man baptized into the Adventist church on Tsushima, died in an accident when he visited an elderly care center.

A GFN radio listener writes:

“Thank you very much for your beautiful station and the peaceful music you provide every day. It keeps me going.”

Another card says:

“God bless you all! Thank you for your ministry. It is a great blessing to me and to many others.”

During the past 3 months I could see that God’s Holy Spirit has been working very strongly in the lives of people here.
