As promised, here are some posts from missionaries in Japan regarding the earthquake and tsunami there. Note that in many cases there are multiple posts from the same blogs below, and I’ve grouped them together…
- By now most of you have probably heard about the 8.9 magnitude earthquake that struck Japan today….
- Many of us are wondering how we can best respond to the devastating news of the earthquakes and tsunami that have hurt especially Fukushima, Miyagi, and Iwate ken…
- I can’t get my mind off my precious homeland, Japan. The news of devastation is heartbreaking and I know the news will only get worse before it gets better…
- We partner with numerous churches in the area that has been affected, including a church just two kilometers from the damaged nuclear power plant. We are gathering information…
- It’s a strange feeling living in Japan in an area with virtually no damage right now. I have friends who are without water and food, trudging down to a canal to haul water by hand in buckets so they can use their toilets…

- It has been quite a shocking day for us all, and it’s taken some effort to find out about friends in various parts of the country. Amazingly…
- Another night of aftershocks. Wondering when this will end! Our mission is discussing ways to help our Japanese church ministry partners in the affected area…
- Tomorrow we head to Tokyo–it will be a different life. We’re told that there are gasoline shortages, stores are sold out of certain foods, toilet paper, etc. In addition…
- Just a quick note to let everyone know we’re okay. It is definitely the strongest earthquake we have felt in our 40 or so years here…
- Life is still a bit crazy here. We lived in Sendai for seven years, and many places we know well are affected deeply by the quake and tsunami. Pray especially for Pastor Hori and his family. No one I know has heard from them yet…
Most of you have seen pictures and footage of the devastation, but I’m including a short video here to remind us about what we’re talking about.
