In an e-mail, SDI member Rev. Dr. Masaaki F. Shibano [Osaka, Japan] writes:

Dear friends,

I am so grateful for your encouragement and heartfelt prayers for the people in Japan who have been injured physically and wounded spiritually by this destruction of the earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear leakage, and who have lost their families, friends and houses, everything.

Since then, everyday I have listened to and talked with my friends over there as much as possible and sending water, food and things that they need now. But it is not easy to send the packages as the high ways and bullet trains do not work well yet.

I heard this morning that approximately ten thousands of people were killed so far. Probably it will be much more than that. 

Right now people are helping each other in those areas, and many rescue teams from many other countries  are working to help the people. It is amazing commitments and devotions for us.

Moreover, it is a precious fact of sharing and showing of human true nature that without any turmoil nor violence the people care for others and help each other, not just for themselves only, but for others who need help and spiritual support.

During these days I see how God works in the midst of  these disasters, and what God wants us to do now.

Although it is a huge disaster beyond imagination, the birds are coming back soon, and will be singing for us.
They will sing for us to praise for the God; the Creator, the Sustainer, and the Savior, who is the source of our lives.

I am praying for the God and the God's children and the God's angels who are one together always.

Praying for the people here in Japan, New Zealand, and Chile, and also all the people who are suffering all over the world, and for the Earth itself, the beautiful planet, to be one with us; to be within us, and for us to be within it.

Blessings and love for all,
Masaaki
