| While on Active duty with the United States Air Force, Brother and Sister Hosmer were saved in Japan. Due to an overwhelming growing burden to reach the Japanese people with the gospel and a specific calling on their lives to evangelize Japan, Brother Hosmer sacrificed a promising career of law Enforcement and separated from the military of 10 years. Brother and Sister Hosmer pursued their calling by serving as Associates in Missions for 8 years and are currently pastoring one of the fastest growing and fruitful churches of our organization in Japan. The Hosmer's have worked together in creating a bilingual progressive discipleship training program which is proving to be very effective in training not only saints but also national leaders and ministers. He has initiated, developed and implemented the first small group meetings within the United Pentecostal Church of Japan. Brother Hosmer was later appointed as the Japan network of prayer coordinator. Brother and Sister Hosmer's vision for Japan is to use local mini crusades to evangelize the masses. They will continue to use the small groups ministry to keep and disciple the believers into healthy Christian workers and leaders. Through Bible training programs and seminars they want to see more national workers trained to plant new churches throughout Japan and give leadership to the growing organization. In 2002 Brother and Sister Hosmer received their appoint to Foreign Missions to the Country of Japan with the United Pentecostal Church International. Having lived in Japan for over 19 years and being married to a Japanese national with a command of the language, Brother and Sister Hosmer are valuable assets to the kingdom of God in reaching the Japanese people with true Bible salvation. |
