*On Saturday night, November 15, four students from Pacific Union College were killed in an automobile accident involving three cars on the mountain roads of Deer Park, Angwin. The student’s names are: Boaz Pak 20, Luke Nishikawa, 22, Simon Son, 19, and Chong Shin, 20. Many of you may know some or all of these students and are grieving their loss. I urge you to continue to pray for their families and friends who are mourning and ask God to bring them peace and comfort. This weekend, SKSDA English Ministries will be clearing all afternoon and evening activities so that friends of the victims may attend the various memorial services. As you finish reading this letter, pray with me the prayer that is found in 2 Timothy 1:12 when it says, “That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day. God Bless Boaz, Luke, Simon, and Chong.
- Luke Kotaro Nishikawa's funeral service will be held at Mt. View Japanese Church on Saturday.
