CW Japan Missionary Hits the Road

Converge Worldwide Missionary Hits the Road

Since we have been down in this area we have been excited that Jeff Chapman, a fellow Converge Worldwide missionary, will be joining two others to take two vehicles to Ishinomaki city in Iwate prefecture. The truck arrived back in the Kansai area today and those on the trip reported that until they drove to Niigata the trip was very normal but then the trip changed as they entered the affected areas. People were very glad to have the relief supplies and were not pushing to get these items. After arriving they would pass out relief supplies get some sleep and then head back. More on the relief efforts in that area see http://crashjapan.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=81%3Apress-release-march-21-2011&catid=26%3Apress-releases&Itemid=4&lang=en Also a personal account by Kent Muhling http://emmanuelpress.com/article/japan-tsunami-relief-getting-to-the-stricken-area/

Jeff, who plans to leave Tuesday, will be driving a truck with tanks of diesel, gasoline, and kerosene. A one way trip takes about 17 hours of driving, or three or four day run. Please leave comments below to encourage him on his adventure. He asked me if I would handle getting his prayer requests out to you. Who will pray for Jeff daily for his trip?
