Yesterday I met with Jim Peterson who works with Covenant
Relief Services. They are the agency that we partnered with (along with World
Vision) to provide supplies and relief to the victims of the March 2011 tsunami
in Japan. The generous people of Bayside gave over $96,000 and our partner
Mukuni Restaurants hosted a dinner that raised another $40,000. Jim, who has
been a missionary to Japan since 1993, sat down with me at lunch to tell me
about how those funds were used (and still are being used) to make an impact,
not just on the physical needs of those effected but on their spiritual needs
as well.
