From Shinto to Christian Pastor

by John D. Morris, Ph.D. *

The Institute for Creation Research recently hosted a delightful guest: Pastor Nobuji Horikoshi. (He tells people to remember his last name by noting it sounds somewhat like “Holy Ghost”.) He pastors one of the largest churches in Japan, the growing Souai Church in Mie Prefecture in south-central Japan and heads up an effective “creation voice” in Japan. He even installed an extensive creation museum on the church grounds. Recently, he visited ICR with his lovely wife of many years and his youth pastor, Satoshi Miyazaki.

Japan is no easy mission field, either.

The Methodists got lucky there once. They converted CDR Mitsui Fucida IJN, (he led air attack on Pearl Harbor) to the Methodist Church. He eventually became the Methodist Bishop of Japan
