Many of you have been concerned with heavy hearts about Japan. Please keep the people of Japan in your prayers in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami, that through this tragedy, the Lord’s grace may abound in tangible love to the people of Japan. Praise God, in all of our contacts with family, friends and missionaries in Japan, all have physically survived, but have varied amounts of property damage.
As a church, we have decided to help with the relief efforts for Japan. We have decided to support CRASH (Christian Relief, Assistance, Support, and Hope). This organization is supported by several well known Christian Organizations like JEMS, RJC, and many others. If you’d like to support the relief effort, you can do so by making a check out to SLZJCC and memo it to Japan Relief. Any funds received will go directly to CRASH.
Below is more information about CRASH, you can also check them out on their website www.crashjapan.com
What is CRASH?
| Christian Relief, Assistance, Support and Hope (CRASH) is a network supporting Christians to do relief work in Japan and around the world. CRASH equips and prepares churches and missions to be there to help their communities when disasters strike and coordinates Christian volunteers to work with local ministries in the event of a disaster.
CRASH is available to conduct Disaster Volunteer Training seminars (DVT) for churches, schools or missions with a focus on pastoral crisis intervention and practical volunteer leadership. CRASH has produced a child-safe place trauma intervention curriculum called “Operation SAFE” that is used to help children in evacuee centers recover from trauma. CRASH has provided leadership and coordination for volunteers responding to typhoons, landslides, blizzards and earthquakes in Japan and internationally in cooperation with the JEMA and the JEA. |
| Mission Statement |
| The mission statement for CRASH is to equip Christians in Japan to be ready when disaster strikes to show the love of Jesus in practical and effective ways. Our method is to provide a model of action, accurate information and volunteer training to a broad network of churches and ministries across Japan.
CRASH is endorsed by JEMA the Japan Evangelical Missionary Association and works in cooperation with the Disaster Relief Commission of the Japan Evangelical Association. |

Our Theme: “Unity”
Registration: $5.00 (to cover the lunch)

Scripture Foundation: Colossians 3:12-14 (New International Version, ©2010) 12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Main Speaker: Leon Harper, ISI – (no official title yet – something like working together with several churches as a united team, reaching out to internationals in the SF Bay Area).
Other topics may include:
The call to form a NorCal mission team to Zoe Thailand
Organizing and working together in our church’s missions committee and how we can better co-operate as NorCal sister churches in what we do.
If you have someone in mind that you would like to present for a missionary highlight, please apply and they will be considered. So far, there will be an invitation to serve with Special Camp by the Satows. We are considering to have sharing from people who have attended the Equipper Conference. There may be an invitation to get involved with International Student Fellowship ministries.
It is the New Year. Have you made a God-sided resolution? How about starting with evangelism? How about learning to how to start and to finish spiritual conversations? How about reaching others for Christ?
What if you knew that by simply crossing the room and saying hello to someone,
you could change that person’s life forever?
The adult Sunday school hour will be studying “Just Walk Across the Room” by Bill Hybels beginning January 16, 2011, Sunday morning at 9:30am. Please join us. Learn how you can make a difference. See Pastor Brian Tekawa for more information.
