Peter & Wendi Thomson, FPCB missionaries, just posted this link on their Facebook pages, and I wanted to take a minute and get it in front of our congregation: Japan: Christian Group Putting Down Stakes in Earthquake Area Liveblog Christianity Today.
Peter says, "Pray! I leave in 24 hours with 3 other A2 staff here in Sanda to join a team setting up a base camp in Sendai to distribute relief coming in through Christian relief organizations. There is still massive need not being covered by the Japanese government. Our task is to establish the camp and begin to identify needs. I will be gone at least two weeks. Please pray for our safety, my family and God's mercy."
Wendi listed on her Facebook page how many obstacles there are to the work Peter and his team are setting out to do: nuclear fallout, more earthquakes and tsunamis, rolling brownouts, broken infrastructure, etc. However, she notes, "God is bigger than all that."
I am praising God this morning for his provision of Peter and Wendi and the whole CRASH team to Japan. Let's pray, and let's support our neighbors in Japan. Our God is the one who makes a way through the sea and a path through the mighty waters (Isaiah 43.6).
