Japan is moving rapidly into the key role of Asian leadership which her ad– vanced industry and technology make inevitable. Great masses of population now closed to the West, including China, a re opening to Japanese business and scienti fic visitors. AT THE SAME TIME, JAPAN IS AMAZINGLY OPEN TO THE GOSPEL! Immediately after World War If, PTL distributed more than eleven million gos– pels in Japan, which w ere eagerly re– ceived and resulted in many thousands of conversions. Now a new generation is ri sing in Japan that is restless, rootl ess, and searchi ng. To meet this openness and critical opportunity for the future of all Asia, PTL has returned to Japan to set up a continuing ministry. Your pray– erful support for the success of this cam· paign will help decide which way the key turns. Ht1nter. Br ther L \'erett i an e, angeli t from Bapti t !id-Mis ion .

In May of 1964 Rev. and Mrs. Riley came to the field. The Lord has blessed hi ministry and it was under the guidance of the Lord that he was able to lead the people in erecting a beautiful church edifice. The present membership of the church totals 59. That which has been accomplished i indeed of the Lord! Your editor to the O.I.B., Rev. Don Moffat, held an eight-day Bible Conference in this church. A very preciou time was had in fellowshipping with these people around the Word of God. We look forward to the Lords con– tinued blessing. We believe that God has even greater things in tore for these people in the days ahead! • Reading from L. to R. - Rev. and Mrs. Paul Mayo, Rev and Mrs. Elton Hukill and Rev. and Mrs. Ernest Riley THE OHIO INDEPENDENT BAPTIST
