Tohoku Earthquake Relief

Thank you so much for those of you who have been offering up your prayers and intercessions on behalf of us and our family and relatives in Japan.  So far, the safety of everyone in both Luke and Yuko's immediate families have been confirmed.  The same cannot be said for the families of some of our Japanese friends here in Toronto.

The following is a post from the FaceBook Group: "CRASH Tohoku Quake Relief."  I am reposting it here for the benefit of those who live far away but who would like to help in what ways they can through an established and recognized Christian organization.  For more detailed information please join the FaceBook group or visit http://crashjapan.com/

Many of us are wondering how we can best respond to the devastating news of the earthquakes and tsunami that have hurt especially Fukushima, Miyagi, and Iwate ken. As the computer and television screens pour out images, we can pour out our hearts to the Creator of the Universe to take care of the great nation of Japan.

CRASH Japan, a non-profit established for just a time as this, exists to help victims of disasters. We have experienced people who know the culture and language on the ground ready to assess the situation and then take appropriate action. Please consider how YOU might be able to help right now by giving a donation that will “kick start” our Tokyo based disaster relief initiative. 

CRASH Japan is strongly endorsed by JEMA (Japan Evangelical Missionary Association) and comes highly recommended by Dale Little, JEMA President.http://crashjapan.com/
