Dear World Relief Partners and Friends,

After an 8.9 magnitude earthquake shook Japan, Pacific Rim countries and islands have braced for tsunamis that have already begun to hit.  While the extent of the damage is still unknown, the death toll continues to rise especially in Japan as ships and trains have vanished and land is flooded. Warnings have been issued from the Philippines to Hawaii to Kenya.

World Relief has been in communication with our partners in these countries including our alliance partner in Japan, the Japanese Evangelical Association, who is monitoring the damage there. Our staff is on high alert and prepared to respond- especially in Southeast Asia where islands and countries are highly vulnerable. World Relief is standing with our brothers and sisters and our prayers are with those in the path of this devastation.

We will continue to post updates as these events unfold.

As a church, if you are interested in taking a special offering on Sunday for this disaster, please visit worldrelief.org to learn more and donate to our Japan tsunami relief efforts.

Sam Wolgemuth, CEO World Relief
