***YOUR PRAYERS MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!***
CLARIFICATION REGARDING OUR PERSONAL SITUATION
The news sources out of the USA do NOT represent what WE PERSONALLY face on a daily basis. We live 150 miles south of the Nuclear Power Plant.
A NOTE FROM CHERYL
Today in the car I heard a card written to a music program. It was from a doctor in Miyagi prefecture which is the area so devastated by the earthquake and tsunami. He related how where his hospital was there was still no water or gas. There was no internet or television. Therefore, the music of the radio was very comforting. He talked about the music of Bach, and how that encouraged all of his patients.
This made me think that as Christians we need to be going with music into these areas. We need to be filling that despair with hope and love and Jesus. Music can do that. I pray that someday we will not be hearing about how wonderful the secular radio station was, but about how comforting the church was in this time. We cannot afford to let this costly opportunity slip away without us making a big impact with the Gospel. Now is the day of salvation. Now is the time to move forward as a mighty army.
We have heard that a large population of refugees from the north will move into a facility in Ryugaoka. Pray for Pastor Okita and us as we consider how to minister to them.
Pray also, as anger and depression have shown themselves among the refugees. As Cheryl says may we bring the eternal song of the love of Jesus and His certain hope to them, while we minister to their very real physical and emotional needs.
Thanks so much for your faithful prayers!! We are DESPERATE for your prayers!
