Helping Japan

God has been teaching me that love requires action. We cannot love with only words. We must love in deed and in truth (1 John 3:18).

And as we prayed for Japan after the recent earthquake and tsunami, I knew we needed to do something. So I asked God for some ideas. And this is what happened:


Our fellow foreigners and Taiwanese friends at church came together to help.


We sold handmade postcards, jewelry, and framed photography.


We also sold homemade brownies, cupcakes, banana bread, cake, and cookies--rarities in Taiwan.



In just three hours, we raised $13,000 NT...or $450 US! Praise God!

All the money will be sent to CRASH Japan (Christian Relief, Assistance, Support and Hope), a network supporting Christians to do relief work in Japan and around the world. CRASH equips and prepares churches and missions to be there to help their communities when disasters strike and coordinates Christian volunteers to work with local ministries in the event of a disaster.
