Memories of the Misawa Baptist Mission

About the Book

The recollections of the Misawa Baptist Mission in this work are primarily from Clyde Wilton while he served as a USAF Chaplain at Misawa AB, Japan, from July 1959 to June 1963 and the years that followed. While serving as a chaplain in Japan, Clyde was privileged to also follow a calling from the Lord to spread the Christian Gospel to the Japanese people. As an answer to the prayers of Clyde and a number of other military personnel, the Gospel message was implemented through the establishment of a Baptist mission in the city of Misawa, which came to be known as the Misawa Baptist Mission.
