Today I talked to one of the CRASH leaders. He told me they are so busy with volunteers and mobilizing other they are running out of room for their operations center. PRAY that God would lead them to a larger center to continue operations for over a year. PRAY as the leadership of CRASH as they pass more leadership to Japanese as they partner with the Japan Evangelical Association.
CRASH Japan is a non-profit disaster relief organization created to provide assistance during crisis situations. CRASH Japan, working closely with JEMA (the Japanese Evangelical Missionary Association), has a large network of experienced volunteers in Japan who know the culture and language, and are on the ground, ready to act. CRASH developed Love-On-Japan to address the untold suffering of this Great Eastern Earthquake. http://crashjapan.com/
Converge World Relief has established a Japan Relief Fund and has already distributed $20,000 to CRASH Love on Japan, this highly-respected evangelical relief team with established accountability relationships with the churches in Japan. Individuals and churches desiring to offer assistance, please give online at www.convergeworldwide.org/giveJapan or send checks payable to Converge World Relief to 2002 S.
