Praying for Japan - Part 2

In may last post I mentioned hearing from our two summer missionaries to Japan and their thoughts on how to pray.  Here are Caleb Jentsch' words -

Some ways y'all can be praying for Japan are:
1) Pray for the missionaries that are over there right now that they would be safe.
2) Pray that the Japanese will realize that hey need the Lord and that their hearts will be open.
3) Pray for the believing Japaneses Christians that they will continue to grow closer to the Father and be able to share who He is with the people of Japan.  The impact they have sharing in their own country is so much more effective.

I  also mentioned the Baptist General Convention of Texas has sent funds  ($25,000).  One of the great things about being connected with an organization like this is the ability to respond quickly.  Becasue you have given to Northside and because Northside cooperates with the BGCT, you have already helped to send those funds to this disaster.

Texas Baptist Men have now sent a team to Tokyo.  Disaster relief veterans John LaNoue and Gary Smith along with Yutaka Takarada, pastor of a Japanese Baptist Church  in the Dallas area have joined videographer Rex Campbell.  You can find out more ways to pray and read daily updates from this team at
