Japan’s Earthquake
Hi everyone,
Our grandson, Kris, has been living and working with a church in Sendai. He was in his apartment eating lunch when the big earthquake hit. He said that it was the most terrifying 3minutes he had ever spent in his life. Though his apartment building is ok, there is a cement block wall right next door and being unsure how stable that was, he moved in with the pastor and his family where the seminary church (where he works) is located. This area is on higher ground and there is no threat of the tsunami reaching that height. We are concerned for a great number of our Japanese friends that live right on the track of the tsunami. Our son lives in Yokohama area, but is ok. However Tokyo and Sendai airports are closed. We’ve tried to reach family and others there by different means, but phone lines were down and we could not get through by cell phones. Electricity is off in Sendai and from what I’ve been able to discern, the whether is very cold. But for us it is great that both son and grandson are ok. I’m sure both will be involved in anyway they can to help relieve those who are suffering terribly. Can let you know more as we get information. Knowing my grandson, I’m sure he will be sending some video to us on the aftermath. We have been getting many calls from friends with assurance of prayer support. This is so devastating for Japan. I hope many of you will also be praying.
