Meet Jacob and Hailee Voltz, IM Missionaries to Japan
After completing their two-year internship, the 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 and women month 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 Bulgarian field team in reaching Bulgarians with the Gospel and the love of Christ.
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.”
Why Japan?
Jacob and Hailee look toward the future with hope and excitement to continue the mission of sharing the Gospel with the lost in Japan. They will 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.
The evangelical Christians represent less than one percent, with the vast majority of the one hundred twenty-six million Japanese choosing Buddhism, Shintoism and/or materialism.
