Although Kumamoto is on the island of Kyushu (I was on the main island of Honshu, where Crystal and Caia still are), I thought you might like to know the latest on the earthquake that struck the city on April 15, with subsequent aftershocks expected for the next week at least.
Kyushu was struck by two major earthquakes in just over 24 hours.
Specific Prayer Requests for Kyushu:
1. The airport is closed because of damage and so are many roads and train lines. Pray that relief supplies can get through and distributed to those in need of it most. Right now 37300 household without water supply.
2. So far 40 people have been confirmed dead and over 90,000 evacuated. Pray for those who are experiencing loss and grief. Sleep is very difficult right now because of the continued aftershocks.
3.Heavy rains and wind would easily cause landslides on the already unstable ground. Please pray for that landslides and further volcanic eruptions would not happen.
