Emergency Relief Efforts

After our first run with supplies up to Sendai we have come back with a better idea of how to help the victims and refugees from the quake and tsunami disaster. We will be loading up again with various supplies that we have found are needed in the Sendai area.

500 people have gathered from around the Miyagi prefecture at the Sendai city hall and prefectural building. There is limited food- one biscuit per person the first day; all day and one rice ball per person the second day; all day. The city hall has electricity and heating but family members are separated, anxiety is running high, and food plus other supplies are at a shortage.

FMG will hopefully be heading out again tonight or tomorrow morning to take more supplies up in the relief effort. Will continue to give updates on the situation up north whenever possible. 

Continue to pray and keep in mind those who have been affected first hand by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan!
