UPDATE
Update from Leon Hill
We received this email last night from Leon Hill:
Thanks for praying!

We are ok, but a lot of clean up and no water in the house. Getting water from a neighbor who has a well which we need to boil and filter. Small inconveniences.

Many much worse off than us.

Thanks again for your Prayers.

Leon

MINISTRY NEED
JAPAN EARTHQUAKE/SUNAMI UPDATE
Laura Shannon made it home to her building and she does have electricity. Lots of broken glass in her apartment. It is one o'clock in the morning there. She is going to try and get some sleep and then later in the morning she is going to try and contact the Hills and will let us know what she finds out.

Pray, pray, pray.

MINISTRY NEED
JAPAN EARTHQUAKE/SUNAMI
PRAYER FOR JAPAN AND THEIR DEVASTATION.

Please be in prayer for Laura Shannon who is in Japan. She was able to get a text message to her sister to let her know that she is okay, but stuck in traffic and praying she doesn't run out of gas and wondering how she is going to get back to her building.

Please also pray for her parents Bill & Ginny as they are anxious for her safety.

We have not heard from the Hills, Leon & Cheryl, but please remember them also during this time.

I will send updates when I receive them.
