Dear Friends,
Thank you again for your faithful
prayer; it accomplishes so much and lifts us up!
Tomorrow (3/22), fellow GBIM
missionary, Brad Waters, First Responder Matthew Saxton and I (Ralph) have the
opportunity to make a special trip out to Sendai, which is the heart of the
tsunami disaster zone. As I've written earlier, we are working with
CRASH
(Christian Relief Assistance Support and Hope)
Japan, with the hope of bringing help to the multitudes
(over 472,000) who have been displaced from their homes and are badly in need of
food, water, blankets and sleeping bags, and other basic needs, as well as
emotional and spiritual care. We have only one base camp in the area, which is
not sufficient to send the amount of workers
needed. Our main goal wth this trip will be to work at developing at least 4
new base camps. We would greatly appreciate your prayer for the Lord to direct
us to the people and organizations who can provide suitable facilities, and for
the grace to get those base camps established.
Joan and Kelly are also helping at the CRASH
Headquarters, so your prayer for their strenglth and stamina is also
appreciated.
Here's a quick recap of areas where we would appreciate
prayer:
1) Success in developing at least 4 new base camps for new ministry
teams.
2) The Lord's mercy to those suffering from cold, hunger, and
emotional trauma.
3) Protection and safety during the trip, especially
working in zones closer to the nuclear plant; that no new incidents would
arise.
4) That these hardships would move the Japanese to seek the Lord, the
giver of life, and trust in Him.
5) The Lord's grace in the logistics of
getting badly needed supplies into the country, temporarily warehoused, and then
quickly delivered to those in critical need. That is a huge job.
With
much appreciation,
Ralph, for the Justinianos
