praying for japan

Tonight we had a very sweet time together as a Connexxion group in my apartment. We're still in the middle of our semester break (in the USA you'd say: "spring break"). But ours is about 6 weeks-- filled with exams, finishing up papers, and doing internships-- but NOT having classes. We took time to cook pasta together... and then prayed for various needs in Japan.
Later some of us baked cookies --

Here is Anja and Jacky (bottom, left) and Janina & Janina (right side). We're going to pass on these cookies as a "thank you" to some of our Connexxion prayer partners!

It made me feel "purposeful" to do a bit of research about organizations within Germany which are doing big things in Japan to help out ... & also those from the USA who are wading into the mess and making a difference! Check out these links for ideas...
