Christian Japanese missionary leaders in the tsunami-ravaged areas of Fukushima and Tohoku have requested emergency aid from Christian Aid Mission to help them minister to displaced quake victims of the disastrous earthquakes in their area.

Contributions may be made to Christian Aid designated to the Japan Disaster Relief Fund, gift code 850DIS. Credit card donations may be made online or by calling 800-977-5650.

“We must send help as quickly as possible – the Fukushima and Tohoku Bible chapels are in some of the hardest hit areas,” says Stephen Van Valkenburg, the overseas director serving as liaison with indigenous gospel workers in Japan.

“Christians in the four Christian chapels from Fukushima have already been evacuated because they are all situated close to the endangered nuclear power plants. There is a lot of panic and help is being distributed to refugees in emergency shelters.”

“These missionaries have some of the most effective outreaches in Japan” says Van Valkenburg, “so we know that they are sharing the love of God in both word and deed during this tragic time.”

Our thoughts, concerns, and prayers go out to those affected by the Japanese 8.9 earthquake and resulting tsunami on March 11th. Millions of viewers were stunned by the devastation that took place as the debris laden tsunami rolled across the northeast coast of Japan.

Everywhere one looks, traditional, biblical models of family and marriage are under assault. Have the efforts to defend it been misplaced?

I refuse to be a Christian pessimist. Here are three reasons why I can face the future with hope.

Terrorist bombings. Middle East turmoil. $3.95 gas. Killer floods. Moral breakdown. Fragile economies.

No wonder Charlie Sheen is going crazy!

Seriously, there’s a lot of bad news out there. Negative headlines make people fearful, agitated, addicted or even sick. But from what I’ve read in my Bible, Christians should not freak out every time a gloomy cloud settles over us. We, of all people on earth, should be full of hope.

Following a March 11 earthquake and subsequent tsunami which hit Japan, assessments are continuing to be made on damage and relief efforts.

In this guest column John Dyer revisits a topic Christianity Today examined a decade ago: how the internet is shaping theological debate.

It might be a peculiar call to make in a church, but The United Methodist Church is asking its members to fast from alcohol during Lent.

To be clear, the 7.8 million-member denomination affirms abstinence from alcohol. But “Alcohol Free Lent” is meant to start discussions on “the elephant in the room – alcohol use among our members.”
