As aftershocks from the March 11th earthquake continue to shake Japan and fears of a meltdown at the Fukushima Nuclear Plant continue to drive international news, one story left untold is the hardship facing 220,000+ people displaced from their homes and living in shelters. They have lost loved ones… their homes, farms, businesses, and sense of self, destroyed.
Feed The Hungry is on the front lines purchasing and distributing critically needed supplies through partner church networks like CRASH Japan and the Assemblies of God.
Your support today will assist in keeping the relief pipeline open, providing items like bottled water, rice, canned goods, energy bars, infant formula, diapers, personal hygiene products, children & adult undergarments, and heating fuel to the elderly, families, and children huddled together in temporary shelters.
By God’s grace, FTH will load two ocean-going containers next week to leave the US bound for Sendai Port in the heart of the tsunami affected zone. with 10 further containers awaiting customs clearance, from Germany we also have 6 containers ready to be shipped out.
But we need you help to asssit us to pay for the shipping costs. click here to donate online now
God is bringing people together from all over the world to help Japan. While our objective at the moment is to show compassion in Jesus’ name to the hurting by satisfying their physical needs through food, water, clothes, etc., our greatest contribution and long-term help will come by sharing God’s comfort, strength, and message of hope to an insular nation that is less than 1% Christian.
