Dear All,

Please kindly see the following email from Larry and Bella Mori, our missionary in Sendai, Japan. Thank God there were fine after the earthquake. Please continue to pray for them and their safety as the situation in Japan (especially with regards to the nuclear power plant) worsens.

Subject: We are okay after the earthquake in Sendai. Thank you for your prayers.
 
Hello friends and family,
            We just got electricity back within the past hour and have been able to get back onto the internet, so the first thing we would like to
tell you is that we thank the Lord for His safety for those we minister to and for Gina, Bella, Timothy , Tiffany,  and myself. 
            As the earthquake happened we were in various places, but were all praying for his protection as the earthquake seemed to go
on for the longest time and increase in magnitude.   We are still living in our house although there needs to be fallen books put back in place and some broken dishes to clean up.
The concrete wall broken down to half it's size next to the road was our biggest damage, so fortunately no one was walking along it at the time.  
We have not heard much information about the earthquake, yet but will soon be doing that.  Electricity, gas and water has not been working, but the government is
working on it and as I mentioned electricity is now working again.
There are long lines at gas stations, supermarkets, and to obtain water, but it is available for a medium to long wait.  
Please pray that this can be an opportunity for people to realize how fragile
their lives really are and that they may open their hearts to Jesus.  For that reason,
we are thankful that we can be here.
We also can be reminded how much our lives are really in His hands.  
 
Thank you for your prayers and concern,
Larry and Bella for all of us
