Pastoral letter to the Churches in Japan as the world pauses to remember Japan's moment of grief... Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, It is with a heavy heart that I write this letter to all of you, at a time when you are recalling the painful memories of grief and loss in the catastrophe that hit your beloved country last year.
All of us from the CCA family are deeply moved and
stand with you in sorrow, bowing with reverence to the Japanese people who
suffered the powerful earthquake that unleashed deadly Tsunami waves, triggering
the world’s worst nuclear crisis and resulted in widespread destruction and
death.
We stand with you in solidarity and offer our
prayerful support, in seeking the courage to pick up the strings of life and
bravely face the future; the strength to lovingly restore families and
communities; and the faith in God’s infinite wisdom and love that passes all human
understanding.
We pray for perseverance and an undying spirit of hope
as the nation struggles to make the country a better and safer place to live
in.
May the Lord be
a refuge in these times of struggle, “The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and
saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm
34:18
Sincerely
yours
Rev. Dr. Henriette Hutabarat Lebang
General Secretary
