April 10th, six of us gathered at Takamatsu Zion Church to serve the victims of the 3/11 (compared to 9/11) earthquake and tsunami. Three more joined us later.
＊The eastern part of the Tohoku (meaning eastern north) was hit hardest by the earthquake, tsunami and radiation.
We left the church about 7:30PM Sunday. We first drove 3 hours to Kobe and stayed over night.
Then we drove over 15 hours to Miyagi, one of the prefectures hit hardest by both the earthquakes and tsunami. Note the cars lining up to fill up their tanks before they go further into the devastated area. At this point on the expressway we were within the 50 mile radius of the nuclear reactor.
Here we also met some other Christians who were going into serve the victims.
We are spending time in the Word. We also needed to prepare spiritually for this service.
We made Miyagi Church our home base. They too were victims of the earthquake, but were generous to let us work from here.
More to come...
