On the morning of March 11th, three of us set off on the train in Tokyo bounded for Fukuoka on Kyushu Island in the south. It had been a smooth and uneventful journey until I scanned the newsflash on the screen in front of the cabin. From what I could decipher from the Kanji (Japanese written in Chinese characters), I realized that a major earthquake had struck the north-eastern part of Japan at 2.46pm. I quickly informed my team. We went online to search for information (there is wifi connection on train!) and saw the massive-ness of the devastation. Right there and then, we knew God’s agenda for us for the second half of our trip in Japan – pray for Japan in her hour of crisis!
SIM East is organizing an exciting Mission Youth Camp for youths 15-22 years old this June 1-3. The facilitator is Sean Marston, the international Youth Consultant for SIM.
“This camp is about your ‘mission journey’. It is about you understanding world issues and how as Christians we can bring a spiritual and physical response to these issues. It is about you gaining ideas, a vision, a way forward and connecting with other young people like you.”
