Where do you begin after a 6 month absence with no writing? I have no idea, so I’ll just start.
I’ve spent the past months in Ishinomaki, a small fishing city in northern Japan. A city I had never heard of, nor probably ever would have had it not been for the tsunami that tore through northern Japan on March 11th. Ishinomaki is reportedly the city with the highest death toll, though how they can determine such a thing with the amount of unknowns is beyond me.
Our churches were fast to respond to the suffering in the north, delivering supplies just days after the disaster. To tell how we got from that to now being stationed in a neighborhood where the water rose over 10ft is a long story laden with the details of God’s leading. I’d like to tell those in upcoming posts.
