To: Gods People, and those who love God's Kingdom,

TBN has contacted us about publishing our book “From the Land of the Rising Son," a story about our life and ministry in America, Japan, and the world. We need to raise funds for advertising. The book will be sold worldwide. As a registered 501c3, we will give any donations a full tax deduction. We feel it is time to tell our story.

THE WEBB'S A MILITARY FAMILY

Born into a military family, the son of a World War Two survivor of Pearl Harbor, and the grandson of a World War One army vet who was the middleweight boxing champion in the army, went on to spar and have a career-ending injury with his jaw broken sparing with a heavyweight contender getting ready to fight the then heavyweight champion of the world William Brannen.

At the rumblings of a war with Japan just before the outbreak of World War 2, William Webb, my father, son of William R. Webb, enlisted in the US Navy. He had been stationed in Honolulu, Hawaii when he had an appendix attack and was put on a hospital ship at the end of a battleship row called the Solace.

On Dec 7th he watched as the nation of Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. An officer on the deck of The Solace filmed from his ship, the famous video of Arizona being hit and blown in half. That video is what rallied America to fight. He ended up fighting all through the Pacific War and fought in every major engagement in the war until Japan surrendered.

We ministered and traveled to every country my dad fought in during the Pacific War.

We adopted our fifth child and 4th Japanese daughter in Japan. Today she is a 25-year-old on-fire Christian who loves God with all her heart. She and her husband Josh are on staff at a local church near as in worship. youth and communications. My father got to see and hold Kiana and enjoyed her as one of his many grandchildren. He was part of the occupation that went into Japan after they surrendered. He always felt bad for all the devastation to the country Japan.

I am and was a husband, father, grandfather, and Pastor to Japan. My life began in a small Mormon town in Ucon, Idaho, traveling to every continent in the world. My wife and I have been married 57 years. My parents have five children and eleven grandchildren. I grew up in Ucon, Idaho experiencing a loving and caring farm community family. Most of my family were Mormons. Tragically, my parents went through a divorce, and it caused the family to break up. At age 12, my life took a downward turn. In and out of trouble from the age of 12 to 18.

Knowing a change needed to happen, I met my wife Kathy at the age of eighteen. Thinking this was the answer to my life, we went on a one-month-long engagement and got married. The children followed very quickly and thought I had finally found happiness. Lasted a brief time and then drinking and partying threatened our marriage after 5 short years.

We were living in Seattle at the time and the birth of the flower children generation, Woodstock, and all that went with it. I thought this surely was the answer to our lives. Becoming hippies so we could be happy

Later I met a young man named Nat who I believed later to be an Angel sent/ After giving me a bible, I found Christ. Rejoining my family and leaving the city we lived in, we relocated to Spokane, Washington.

The center for the Jesus people of the revival of the late sixties and early seventies. Eventually, we found our home church of 25 years and became leaders in the church. While serving in every capacity in the church, we eventually became associate pastors.

We served the Lord there until God called us to Japan to serve the Lord in Japan and Pacific Asia. Planting churches, raising ministries all over the globe and following in my earthly father’s footsteps (he fought all over Pacific Asia and we ministered in all the places he fought) following our fathers’ footsteps.

Having traveled to every continent in the world and adopted our youngest daughter, Kiana, we returned to the US with a new mandate to help bring revival to churches. We are planting and pastoring a church in Lake Mary, Florida called The Light House and are continuing to follow his footsteps.
