Biographical Note

Joe Cannon (1927-2012) served as a missionary in Japan, Papua New Guinea, and Ukraine. Cannon began preaching in 1943. Four years later, after World War II, he and his first wife, RosaBelle, moved to Japan as missionaries. The Cannons worked in Japan for 24 years. They planted 15 churches and helped launch Ibaraki Christian University, four kindergartens and four orphanages. In 1971, the family moved to Papua New Guinea, where they founded Melanesian Bible College. In 1983 they moved to Memphis, Tenn., and began a training program, Mission/1000. After RosaBelle Cannon’s death, Joe Cannon married Betty Dollar and they left to do mission work in Ukraine. The couple ministered in the city of Bila Tserkva. Cannon died in Memphis, Tennessee in October of 2012.
