I know many of you are praying for people in Japan. We serve a God who "works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28). One might wonder how anything good can come from an earthquake of this magnitude? How can anything good come from this amount of devastation? According to Rev. Akiro Sato God is doing some miraculous things. Rev. Sato is the pastor of Fukushima Baptist Church. The church is just three miles away from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Sato's congregation of 160 members have evacuated the area and are now scattered. However, Pastor Sato writes that God is supplying all of their needs. "Brothers and sisters are bringing us food and clothing from all over Japan,” Sato wrote. “I feel like Elijah, sustained by God with food carried by a raven.” He also wrote, “Like the Israelites in the desert, all we can do is follow God as He leads us with pillars of fire and clouds,” Sato wrote that he marveled “at the strength” of the church members’ “faith in the Lord.” “From the 160 members I have been in touch with, all I hear are words like, ‘God is great. I want to trust Him as I walk with Him from now on.’ I marvel at the strength of their faith in the Lord,” he wrote. “Yesterday, three of those who are with us prayed to receive Jesus into their hearts.” To read the entire story click here.
