This is an update from Pastor Yoshiya Kondo in Iwate prefecture, Japan, who has been serving and ministering in the disaster area since the tsunami.
Self-Defence Force soldiers cutting food on cutting boards on a school yard we visited today. At this shelter, every meal is prepared by these soldiers. I asked a child as we watched them, “So those are the people who work so hard to make the meals, huh?” “Yeah, but it’s not very good.” Oh well, it’s men cooking after all. Go Self-Defense Force!
