Dave Carter - Missionary to Japan
 Our missionary to Japan was born on August 27, 1952 in Perkin , Illinois. He accepted the Lord on November 23, 1969, and he attended Tennesse Temple and Hyles-Anderson colleges, graduating in 1975. Brother Carter and his wife, Glenda were married June 9, 1973 and they have four sons; Steven, Ben, John and David. Brother Carter surrendered for full-time service and also surrendered for the mission field in March 1971. He and his family arrived on the mission field on August 10,1976 In June of 1990, the lord placed a burden on Brother Carter's heart to start another church.. He will continue as pastor of New Life Baptist in Kawagoe, but in addition to this he feels that more can be done to win the lost. His burden is to go back to Tokyo, where ha started his first church almost 10 years ago. The Lord put the city of Fussa, which is near the Yokota Air Base upon his heart. On September 9,1990 Brother Carter started a new church in Faso, Japan. He will be meeting each Sunday at the Yokota Baptist Vhurch, pastored by fellow BIMI missionary Rev. Jon DeRusha. As an outreach of the military church there, we will be starting a service for Japanese. Brother Carter has also started learning Japanese sign language. Most people think sign language is internationally the same, this is not true. Many of the signs are pictures of the Chinese characters called "kanji." Brother Carter's goal is to be able to preach with signs. |
