When it is all stripped away...
I first heard of CRASH Japan through facebook, after March 11, 2011, when the terrible earthquake followed by the tsunami hit Japan. CRASH Japan , or Christian Relief Assistance Support Hope serves local churches in Japan by mobilizing the body of CHrist to bring help and hope to people affected by disasters. Our church raised some money and sent it to assist as part of our response. We also told everyone to pray. But I have to admit part of me assumed Japan would be 'fine'. After all, Japan isn't Haiti. They have money, I told myself. They have technology. Yes, this was terrible, but they will be fine. The Japanese people are a very resilient people. And as other world news happened and took over the old news of Japan, so I also began to 'move on'. I did wonder every now and then how Japan was coping, especially as CRASH Japan's facebook page reminded me every now and again that there was still work there. But these were only fleeting moments.
