Samaritan's Purse is on our short list of recommended organizations doing relief work in Japan. We've put them on our list because they deliver the right kind of aid quickly and through effective channels -- local Christian churches.

Most of you likely know that Samaritan's Purse airlifted 93 tons of relief supplies to Japan on March 19. Asian Access and CRASH are honored to be working alongside this North Carolina-based relief organization, helping to deliver these supplies to Christian churches who can serve as delivery systems for hope.  It will be these local churches that will be ministering long-term to these hurting people and devastated neighborhoods.

Take a look at this Samaritan's Purse video clip about these supplies landing in Japan:

At Asian Access, we wish to thank everyone who made it possible for these life-sustaining supplies to get to Japan!

Please pray that these supplies will get to the people who need them most. Pray for the church in Japan to be the love of Christ to hurting people.
