Antioch, Tennessee—After completing their two-year internship, Jacob and Hailee Voltz, will transition their missionary service from Bulgaria to Japan. In these first two years, they have been a part of multigenerational ministries such as weekly nursing home visits, English Clubs for children and adults, men’s and women’s monthly meetings, drum lessons, and various other ministries. Jacob and Hailee both have a heart for encouragement and serving others. They have been instrumental to the ministry with the IM field team in reaching Bulgarians with the Gospel and the love of Christ.

Their first child, Aurora, was born in Bulgaria. During their current Stateside assignment in June, they welcomed baby Lilah to their family. They share that Bulgaria will always hold a special place in their hearts.

They look toward the future with hope and excitement to continue the mission of sharing the Gospel with the lost around the world. Once they can secure their funding and support, they will relocate to Japan to serve alongside their new teammates, Rusty and Brenda Carney, at the Free Will Baptist Kamifukuoka Christ Church (KCC) in the Tokyo area of Saitama Prefecture.

Rusty shared his enthusiasm for the news of serving alongside the Voltz when he said, “We are looking forward with excitement to the Voltz family joining the KCC team. We believe they are an answer to prayer and will truly be an asset to the ministry and furtherance of the Gospel in the Kamifukuoka area.”

The Voltz will use their gifts in technology, English outreach, relationship-building, and church planting to support the ministry on their new field. English ministries and digital outreach offer natural avenues to meet people who might otherwise have little connection to a Christian church in Japan. Their roles will support KCC’s vision of “reaching families to reach the world for Christ.”

You can partner with the Voltz as they raise support for their future ministry in Japan here.

Join us in praying for their family as they make this transition and for their upcoming service on the field, so they can reach even more people with the Good News!
