four months
Four months after the massive earthquake that literally changed the landscape of Japan, life seems to be back to normal in Tokyo. However, under the surface everything is changed. The need to preserve electricity is a painful daily reminder that not only part of Japan is still in ruins, but also that the dream of security -of trust in the government, the economy, and engineering ability- is shattered. 3/11 continues to shake Japan. Our world, too, was shaken, but not our love for this people in need. Read about the spiritual and physical needs of the Japanese that we try to meet through the church planting movement in city center Tokyo in our latest newsletter (31 – 2011.07) .

Thanks for your reflections on how the earthquake has changed things for you and for the people to whom you minister. It’s the number one question we get from people here in the US as we have traveled since the earthquake… they want to know how the devastating events of March 11 have changed the minds, hearts, lives of the Japanese. We are anxious to return to Japan and are hopeful to be back mid-August.
