Help and Hope for Tsunami Survivors

December 28, 2011

The Alliance is starting a ministry center in Ishinomaki, Japan—one of the hardest-hit areas by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami—where more than 3,000 lives were lost. Some people, even after hearing the tsunami sirens, went home to retrieve personal belongings, only to be washed out to sea. “Through this center, we have a unique opportunity to help the hurting,” write Jill and Alan Kropp. “Our plans are to start a ministry that will serve the needs of the whole person, body and soul, and eventually evolve into a sustainable, local church.”

What You Can Do

Pray for this new work in Ishinomaki; also, pray for Alliance workers around the world.

Partner with Alliance workers to share the light of Christ with those living in spiritual darkness. Be Light—give to the Great Commission Fund.

Get Involved...

Pray.

The Alliance believes wholeheartedly in the power and necessity of prayer. We cannot “Live the Call Together” unless prayer is central to all we do—as a denomination, as churches, and as individuals.

Give.

You can help build Christ’s Church around the world by donating online to the Great Commission Fund. This fund finances our missionaries, allowing them to focus on ministry rather than raising their own support.

Serve.

Is God calling you to full-time service? Do you want to experience missions firsthand by participating in a short-term missions trip? We want to help you connect your passion with God’s purpose.
