Update: Japan Quake and Tsunami Relief
Supporters -
Thank you for your help in raising funds for Japan. Here is an update on the situation:
Update, Saturday, 3/12, 7:07 am, PST: World Vision Japan today is preparing staff members to travel to areas affected by yesterday’s devastating earthquake and tsunami. Staff will assess the needs in affected areas and prepare supplies and programs to serve those left homeless by the twin disasters. “We are now facing the most tragic disaster in our country’s history,” said Kenjiro Ban, Humanitarian and Emergency Affairs Manager, World Vision Japan.

World Vision plans to establish one or more Child-Friendly Spaces–sites for children affected by disasters to resume normal childhood activities and experience structure and security that are often lost following emergency situations.

We appreciate all of your support, and ask that you continue to promote this project in any way you can.

Thanks,
World Vision staff

Prayer from Beth Yeager Women of Vision Headquarters Federal Way, WA
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of thee sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of the city; it shall not be moved; God will help it when the morning dawns…The Lord of hosts is with us…..Psalm 46


Mighty God, stand watch in the hours of this day and the nights to keep all from more harm. Renew our capacity for hope by healing the despair and anxiety brought on by this unexpected act of our natural world. Bring those whom you summon into the lives of those needing assistance. Allow them to reveal your love and mercy to all they care for. Amen.
