Missionary friend told me today that the director of the Fukushima nuclear reactor plant is a Christian- his name is Naoyoshi Satoh. This is no coincidence that one of the most important men who can potentially help save northern Japan from long term destruction is a follower of our Lord Jesus- especially when you remember that Christians are less than 2% of the population here. Good opportunity to pray for someone who carries the terrible burden of finding a solution for this crisis.
Also very good news~! 90 tons of aid is headed for Japan courtesy of Samaritan's Purse. You can read more details here: http://www.crashjapan.com/index.php?limitstart=5&lang=en
As for me... Tuesday (tommorrow) I am headed back home to Grand Rapids, Michigan until April 2 for a much needed rest during Spring Break here. I usually have insomnia, but since the earthquake/tsunami/nuclear crisis I really have not been sleeping well at all. I need to refresh and recharge myself! I'll be leading a prayer meeting for the Japan situation while I'm back home. Still thinking of what to say.
I feel there is great hope for Japan, personally! Many people for many years have been praying for revival. We humans cannot understand the reasons why a horrible tragedy like these three hammer blows have hit the same nation three times in a row... however I am certain that Revival is coming into Japan and the Japan that will stand up from the ashes from this one will be wiser, stronger, and more compassionate towards the needs of others.
My prayer for you who may read this blog is that God shall bring you ever closer to Him, my friend.
