\"\"<\/a>I am heading to Japan to help my dad’s church with the task of bringing the whole Gospel to the Japanese people in this hard time.\u00a0 We are going to minister to minds, hearts and souls<\/strong> as we provide for basic human needs and share the hope we have in Jesus.<\/p>\n

We have four people going who all have been to Japan, can speak Japanese<\/strong>, and have a deep heart for Japan to know Jesus.\u00a0 Plane tickets are cheap right now ($1,000 round trip)\u00a0 and we already purchased them.\u00a0 We have also already had an additional $7,000 in gifts come in!\u00a0 God is good.<\/p>\n

We are bringing heavy duty and portable water purification systems<\/strong> that my uncle developed that can clean 15 gallons of water\/minute.\u00a0\u00a0 The rest of the funds are going to supplies, truck rentals, gas and other things people need there for us to deliver.\u00a0 We will most likely be on one of the many recon teams going out to smaller cities that have not received much help yet.<\/p>\n

We will be bringing food, blankets, medical supplies etc.,\u00a0 purifying water and sharing the Word (the purest water for the soul<\/strong>). We have a doctor on our team now too so we will be able to give medical assistance as needed.<\/p>\n

We are leaving Monday morning and have quite a few needs…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We are leaving Monday morning and have quite a few needs\u00a0the biggest being prayer (see prayer needs below).\u00a0 By God’s Grace a local Florida non-profit Ministry called JS Resources has graciously agreed to process all donations admin costs free.\u00a0 That means 100% of check donations will be able to be directly delivered to the local church in Japan.\u00a0 So if you are planning to give to help Japan this is really the best way… to go through us so that your gift gets maximize and gets directly in the hands of the local Church and people who need it most.\u00a0 Wouldn’t it be neat if we could bless the church with a $10,000 gift.\u00a0 We are also bringing tons of tools for sharing the Gospel.\u00a0 Campus Crusade is right here in town so I am getting as many resources in Japanese (Jesus films, tracts, etc…) as we can take, so feel free to give toward that need as well.<\/p>\n

We really feel passionate about bringing over as many Gospel resources as we can to distribute and empower the local Church to participate in the great harvest of souls we are anticipating in light of this disaster. The Japanese people need to hear good news and our Savior Jesus has brought us the best news of all.\u00a0 We are looking forward to sharing it…<\/p>\n
