A prayer of solidarity with People in Fukushima on Holy Saturday, April 23:
In Fukushima, we keep hearing from pastors and church leaders that this multiple disaster in Fukushima is a wakeup call for Christians to repent before we can expect God to renew us.
On this Holy Saturday, April 23, 2011, we will stand together with people of Fukushima by turning off lights wherever you are locally between 7:00 and 9:00 in the evening (or choose any time later if convenient) and offer our prayers of darkness to God as we reflect Jesus’ death in the dark tomb. The prayer guide for this will be posted from Friday in English, Japanese and Korean on the blog. If you are interested and willing, you may leave your comments of encouragement and prayers for people in Fukushima on the blog. Midori and I will put them together and share the Easter Hope message to the churches we have visited this week as a gift of the global body of Christ to suffering people in Fukushima.
2011年4月23日（聖土曜日）、夜7時から9時まで（または適切な時間を選んで）すべての電気を消し、キリストが墓で眠られたその日に神に暗闇の中での祈りをささげることで、福島の人々の苦しみに与りたいと願っています。
このための祈りのガイドは、金曜日から英語、日本語、韓国語でブログに掲示されます。この試みに関心があり、参加したい方は、是非、祈りと励ましの言葉をお寄せください。私たちは皆さんのメッセージをまとめて、世界のキリストの体から福島で苦難に遭われている方々へのイースターの希望のメッセージとして、今週、私たちが訪問した教会へお届けしたいと思います。
Follow-up Action: World Fukushima Day – the 11th of Each month
The Friends with the Voiceless International (http://www.karashi.net/), my partner organization here in Japan will commemorate the 11th of every month as a global prayer vigil, World Fukushima Day, until a solution is found to stop the radiation from the broken nuclear plants in Fukushima Dai-chi. We will turn off lights between 7 and 9 pm on the 11th of each month and pray for suffering people of Fukushima and for our renewed lifestyle of less dependence on energy and more creativity.
Thank you everyone for your encouragement and participating in this for suffering people of Fukushima!
