Tsuneyoshi Takeda was recently honored on his retirement, celebrating 50 years of ministry and 50 years of marriage to his wife, Makimi. Takeda taught Japanese Bible studies at New Vision Baptist Church, Prattville, for more than 17 years.
In 1977, he moved from Japan to Atlanta, where he began a Bible class in an old house he purchased. He traveled to cities around the South to teach Japanese Bible classes, including teaching in homes in Prattville for five years before starting Bible studies at New Vision.
He and his wife have three daughters, two of whom are missionaries. Takeda was presented a plaque by (from left) J.B. Burt, pastor of New Vision, and Bill Morgan, director of missions for Autauga Baptist Association.
