Jacob DeShazer

 

In January, Pastor Glen and Pastor Mike went to visit Jacob DeShazer, who lives just down the road from our daughter and son-in-law.  Jacob DeShazer was in the Doolittle raid during WWII and was taken prisoner.  He got saved in a Japanese prison, came back to the States, went to Bible school, and returned to Japan as a missionary, leading thousands to the Lord.  His testimony was read by Mitsuo Fuchida, the man who led the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and he got saved!  It was a real privilege and honor for them to be able to meet Bro. DeShazer and his lovely wife and have him pray with them.
