Wilhelm Baum, son of a once prosperous Jewish family in Dortmund, Germany came to America one and half years after Hitler's rise to power. While serving as photographer in the U.S. Air Force during World War II, he was invited to photograph a "G.I. Gospel Team" while they gave their testimony at a nearby church.<p>Wilhelm tells of his inner struggle as he hears the way of Salvation for the first time and how he, as a Jew, made a momentous decision. He also recounts the events after he returned home, entered Bible school and of his subsequent evangelistic travels throughout the U.S. Canada and Alaska.<p>In 1952 he went as missionary to Japan for 28 years, where he married that special girl he had met at Bible school.<p>Since his "retirement" in 1980, he has proclaimed the "Good News" in over 26 countries, including Russia and all of Eastern Europe, Africa, South America and even in the People's Republic of China.<p>To make the Gospel message easier to understand, especially to the younger generation, he uses many visual and often astounding illustrations, including not only many Japanese language symbols, but utilizing their necktie designs as well as even Japanese chopsticks.
