You have, no doubt, watched the unfolding of the crisis in Japan following the massive earthquake and tsunami. We are grateful that our missionaries and their families are safe, but they are also grieving for this country whose people they love.

Our missionaries and the churches with which they are affiliated are making an immediate response, taking food, clothing, blankets, and especially water into the tsunami-affected area.

The aftershocks have continued, and many people are still sleeping in their clothes (as much as sleep is possible) in case they need to flee their homes in the midst of powerful aftershocks.

There is great concern over meltdown and potential meltdown of failed nuclear reactors. Our missionaries report that many Japanese people are in shock and denial as they are faced with this overwhelming crisis.

For prayer:
• Physical, emotional, and spiritual strength for our MTW missionaries, their churches, and the many other organizations, churches, and missionaries with whom they work
• Comfort for grieving families, especially that they will come to know the love and comfort of Christ
• Safety from aftershocks and radiation released by nuclear reactors
• Shelter, food, and water for suvivors
• Wisdom and clarity for MTW regarding our immediate and long-term response
• Restoration of power and communications
• Financial and prayer support to be raised up across the PCA
