Itsuko Sue Nishikawa : ウィキペディア英語版 | Itsuko Sue Nishikawa Itsuko "Sue" Nishikawa pioneered Southern Baptist faith and values in the territory and State of Hawaii in the latter half of the 20th century. ==Early life== Nishikawa was born Itsuko Saito to Masanari Saito and Tei Saito née Shida, immigrants to Hawaii from Fukushima, Japan. She grew up in the small agricultural town of Wahiawa on the island of Oahu in the United States territory of Hawaii, the second oldest of eight siblings: five girls and three boys.〔''(Learn More About Sue Nishikawa )''. Retrieved on October 6, 2010.〕 Her father, Masanari, was a relatively successful pineapple grower, until the Great Depression caused him to lose his holdings. To support herself through high school, Itsuko began working as a maid for an officer in the United States Army at the age of thirteen, a job that included room and board. While living in Wahiawa, she began her involvement in the Baptist Church as a member of Wayside Baptist Chapel, which later became the First Baptist Church of Wahiawa. After graduating from Leilehua High School in Central Oahu, Itsuko left for Texas to attend the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. After completing her studies, she returned home and organized the Women's Missionary Union in Hawaii, becoming its first director in 1954. Nishikawa served in that post for twenty-seven years until her retirement in 1980. During her tenure, she worked closely with the Baptist World Alliance, and edited the state Baptist newspaper, Hawaii Baptist.
