NC Baptist Men Disaster Relief to Japan

On March 11, 2011 a magnitude 8.9 earthquake occurred 111 miles E of Honshu, Japan. The earthquake and Tsunami has caused major damage, injuries, and the loss of many lives.

Please pray for the people of Japan as they suffer through this difficult time. Pray also for Japanese Baptists as they seek to minister to hurting people. Within hours of the earthquake, the Japan Baptist Convention contacted Rescue 24 to request disaster relief assistance. NC Baptist Men are a part of Rescue 24. On March 11, a NC Baptist Men Search and Rescue team left from Raleigh Durham airport en route to Japan. This team will join a team from Hungarian Baptist Aid and will be doing an initial assessment of the disaster and seeking the best ways to assist Japanese Baptists in responding to the disaster.

NC Baptist Men’s office anticipates sending a number teams to Japan to assist in the disaster relief efforts there.
