Return of the Raider

Carol Aiko DeShazer Dixon is the first daughter of Jacob and Florence DeShazer. She spent most of her childhood being home-schooled by Florence and attending military and missions schools in Japan. She graduated from the Christian Academy High School in Japan in 1972. She then attended Aldersgate College in Saskatchewan, Canada, where she received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Christian Education. At Aldersgate, she met and married a Canadian, Ken Dixon from British Columbia. They were married in Tokyo, Japan, by her father on December 19, 1974. The couple spent one year living in Tokyo with the DeShazers assisting their missionary work, teaching English and studying Japanese. During this time, Carol Aiko gained a greater appreciation for her parents, their ministry and all the sacrifices they had made for her and her siblings. She is very passionate about her parents' legacy and feels strongly that their story is something she wants the world to know more about. She is presently working to make her parents' story more available through documentaries, books and other media outlets.
