Sendei Japan

Ruth and I have met a dear couple who have served as Navigators missionaries in Sendei for 35 years. They are coming to the USA for three months.


The night of the earthquake, the husband was out of town. The wife says the house shook for six minutes. She crawled to the front door and held to the frame.


Twenty-five minutes later she saw the tsunami waves from the high cliff on which she lives. She said the water roared.


For four days her family did not know whether she was dead or alive. Finally, a son who lived in a different part of the region walked a long distance to find her.


Their stories are personalizing a story that has seemed so far away. Pray Ruth and I will be able to minister to them.
