Update from our Team in Japan

Thank you so much for praying for the situation in Japan. Here is the latest from our teams:

There have been well over 150 aftershocks some of them around intensity 5. These are very nerve racking for those who so recently experienced the big earthquake. Another Intensity 7 tremor is forecast on the Pacific Side sometime on Monday to Wednesday – potentially around Nagoya area
Radiation is predicted to come to Ishikawa in three days, where OM Japan is located; the government is evacuating old people in the area of the Fukushima Nuclear Plant
Although electricity is restored, there is a shortage of food and water; telephones and mobile phones are very unreliable.
Volunteers have come from many nations to help. American Nuclear experts are here to help.

• Pray for both Emerita and for Sarah and the family, as Nob and Owen are both away from home attending ILM.
• Pray concerning the nuclear issue, there are suggestions to wear hats and coats outside and shower when coming inside in case of fall out.
• Everyone is stressed by the constant aftershocks.
• Please pray that the predicted earthquake doesn’t eventuate
• Panic buying has started – there is no petrol, bread, candles, rice and many other supplies.
• The weather is forecast to be extremely cold, and with limited electricity, this will make life even harder
• Pray that God can use this for His glory and draw people to Himself
