Graceway Baptist Church is gratified to have as members such a fine couple to serve as ambassadors for Christ to the Japanese people.

Since I have known the Shirrells they have distinguished themselves as mature in the Lord and faithful servants. They are godly people, with a heart for souls. They have an excellent track record of service and ministry and I believe they will be excellent missionaries.

Chris came to Graceway just out of high school, and Miranda has grown up in the church most of her life. They met and were married at Graceway, and began their ministry together in our church. They are one of the finest couples I have had the privilege of shepherding.

I encourage you to do whatever you can to speed this couple to the field of Japan.

Sincerely,

Robert Stephenson, Lead Pastor – Graceway Baptist Church[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
