Evangelist Susumu Nakagawa, Hiroshima and Kure Church of God, finished his work on the earth on April 7 and was lifted up to heaven. On the 9th, Pastor Paul Kiyoshi Miki presided funeral service, where many attendants gathered and a call to salvation was done. At the stronghold called Aki Monto ( generally known as followers of Jodo Shinshu- a school of pure land buddhism), it is rare to held a Christian funeral service. Some of attendants were surely touched by the Lord and confessed their prayer to salvation.
