Last month was bittersweet as John led the last Japan Disaster Response team to Ishinomaki City. The team was 7 volunteers from Grace Baptist Church in Santa Maria CA and one from Bethlehem Baptist Minneapolis. Elaine later joined the team for focused women’s meetings coordinated by Linda Bengtson. The team setup for a gospel concert attended by over 60 Japanese, discussed with many victims, cleaned several properties, and prepared for the July 13th concert venue. Please check out our video about the last stages of Converge Worldwide work in the disaster area: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5L7QWDo-U4&feature=youtu.be. Again thank you for your prayers, generosity, and involvement in recovery ministries from the triple disaster. Our ministry partners carry on loving people practically and building Christ’s church in this unchurched area.
