The JCF mission team composed of four volunteers from different parts of Japan has worked hand in hand with Hope Miyagi for a three-day tsunami relief effort on January 4th-6th. The third mission trip since the March 11th earthquake was focused on community rehabilitation in the areas greatly affected by the tsunami , such as Higashimatsushima and Ishinomaki in Miyagi prefecture. Volunteers gathered donations and shipped them up to Shiogama Bible Baptist Church. “I am convinced that God is behind this activity,” said Perlan Alatiit, an ALT from Osaka. “It was my last lesson for the term when there was a little time left so I just started asking the class where they would spend their winter break. Finally, a student asked me the same question. I said I will go to Tohoku to visit my friends in Fukushima and then help a little in Miyagi.” “Then everyone just started cheering and went wildly excited. I wondered why even the JTE was so excited! After the class the JTE explained to me that the students have been looking for a chance to send their letters and messages to the children of Tohoku but couldn’t find contacts to bring them there.” Perlan ended up bringing more than their letters because they also donated books, some school supplies, gloves and socks and toiletries. Tin Lok Shea, a CRI from Toyama drove for the team with his churchmate from Australia, Danny Hung, who is currently an exchange student in Hokkaido. Hope Miyagi is an organization aiming to bring moral and spiritual uplifting through helping the community recover from the tsunami devastation headed by Yukimasa Otomo, associate pastor of Shiogama Bible Baptist Church. The mission trip was coordinated by Deborah Ruth Trotter and Hiroe Komatsu, supplies and volunteer coordinator for Hope Miyagi and the members of Shiogama Bible Baptist Church, Yu Ito, Shinya Bukawa and Takao Hayasaka.
