Please pray for these precious kids…

June 30, 2011

 

I want to ask you all to pray for these precious kids who have been affected by the earthquake, tsunami, and radiation treat in Japan.  As a mother, my heart hurts so much to know what they are going through.  Even though they are having such a difficult time, they always smile when I take pictures of them.  Their beautiful smiles make me happy but at the same time, I know each of them has so many unspoken feelings/concerns.  Please pray the day will come soon when they can all laugh, smile, and have tons of fun without being worried about the aftershocks, nightmare of the tsunami, radiation, destroyed homes, and all the other traumas that they may have.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All the pastors’ kids got together for the special meeting.  Playing cards while the adults had a meeting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some of these kids are from Fukushima where the nuclear plant exploded.  They hadn’t been able to play outside because of the radiation threat.  They were so happy to come to Sendai where they could play outside.  They were so thankful to receive rain jackets that your generous donation helped us buy.  THANK YOU!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guess what they are making?  Their OWN movie theater!  These kids live in a tsunami-hit town and almost everything was destroyed.  They decided to “make” a movie theater so that they could watch movies (DVDs) together.  What a brilliant idea!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aren’t they precious?  We were able to give them lots of cookies for their opening day.  Hope they enjoyed them!   As these kids painted the cardboard boxes, one of the moms told her daughter to be careful since she was wearing one of a few shirts she had left.  It broke my heart.  Since many of these kids lost everything, we are going to deliver clothes that have been donated by our FBCA family (our sending church).  If you want to know how to donate, please e-mail us (michaelandyu@gmail.com).  Thanks!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We hosted a special event for kids at our church.  A volunteer team from Colorado joined us and we all had such a great time!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Singing praise songs!  Our friend, Yuta, did a great job! Michael did a wonderful job sharing a children’s message.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They all got a gift that was bought with the Aid for Japan donation money.  As you can imagine, they were SO excited!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Playing games!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Having lots of fun together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dinner time!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What an awesome fellowship we had!  In this picture, there is a girl who lost her grandparents in the tsunami.  They have yet to found her grandmother’s body.  Please pray for her and her family.  Also, some of these kids’ (they are siblings) dad works for the Japanese army and he has been super busy since March 11th.  They don’t have much time to see their dad.  Pray for them as they miss their daddy!

Thank you for keeping these children in your prayers.  We know your prayers will make a difference!
