Pastor Takeshi Koiwai of Azumino Family Chapel went to serve the victims of the earthquake, tsunami and radiation up in northeastern Japan. Laborers are needed! Here is what Jon Junker, my brother, wrote.
"Pastor Koiwai just returned from taking a small team to help with relief efforts in Iwate prefecture. We are partnering with local churches and individuals especially in areas that seem to be overlooked. The opportunities are there, but the manpower is lacking and the local leaders are beginning to tire out. We need to have wisdom in knowing how to help."
The 77 year old Emperor Akihito of Japan and his wife have gone up to the devastated area, I believe, 7 times. A month after the earthquake, a friend of ours, Mrs. Mori (pict), in her seventies, went up to serve on the team I served with in the city of Ishinomaki.
Not only are the leaders tiring, it is at this time the victims are in need of greater psychological and spiritual support. What can you do? What will the Junkers do?
