Christian Relief Assitance Support + Hope (CRASH) donor reportTRANSCRIPT
Assembled by GodYou might be wondering, “How did CRASH staff come into being?” The answer is: CRASH Japan staff was assembled by God. They converged from all corners of the earth ‒ Germans, Filipinos, Americans, Singaporeans, Canadians, Taiwanese, South Africans, Japanese, Swiss, Koreans, Australians, Hong Kongese. . .and volunteers from many more countries. In fact, almost half of the world’s nations (83 and counting) have come through CRASH Japan ‒ to provide hope and healing for the people of Tohoku.
Listed are countries helping Japan (donors and volunteers).

As we approach springtime in Japan, the return of warm weather and the beautiful cherry blossoms, CRASH Japan is once again entering another distinct phase of the Tohoku disaster relief response. Six months ago, the situation was
very different. We had made it through the initial crisis, but beyond this, there were still many challenges and concerns facing survivors. The fall and winter months saw a decrease in receiving volunteers. Relocating evacuees from evacuation shelters to temporary housing generated additional needs. Isolation and (mental/emotional) depression were now the biggest threat to survivors’ lives. Our focus shifted from delivering supplies to bringing hope in order to mitigate the greater potential of people committing suicide.
That was then, but today the scene looks much brighter. With the help of volunteers from all over the world and an increasing number of Japanese volunteering multiple times, we have been able to keep a continual presence of Christian workers throughout the disaster area. Survivors who struggle with thoughts of suicide testify that the continuous stream of volunteers has given them hope to live from week to week. Surprisingly, a Japanese government report revealed that the suicide rate in 2011 did not increase as feared, but actually decreased —the lowest in 14 years. I can only imagine how different the suicide statistics would be without the presence of Christian volunteers in the Tohoku region.
As a pastor I have occasionally sat with people contemplating suicide. There was little I could do to provide answers to their overwhelming needs. I could not pay their bills, bring back their loved one nor undo the consequences
of their mistakes. All I could really do was be there for them. In much the same way that is what we have been doing on a massive scale with every disaster-hit community along the coast of Japan. We have brought in supplies and helped clear debris. . .but mostly we have simply been there.
Hope is a unique commodity, a very different kind of relief supply. We cannot put it in a box and load it in a truck. Hope comes in a different package; a heart possessing eternality. Each Christian volunteer who has served and will serve in Tohoku is THE PACKAGE. Not only have volunteers provided physical work and delivered supplies but also brought hope, introducing Japan to the real source of never-ending hope, Jesus Christ!

“A big hug and a warm greeting—so rare coming from a Japanese.”
“We need the CRASH team back here on Saturdays!”
“One elderly woman was so excited at the Cafe’s return that she completely forgot to put her false teeth in!”
In the past 12 months, CRASH Japan’s disaster response has implemented the relief phase (meeting physical needs) and the Recovery Phase (meeting emotional needs). The Partnership Phase will commence on April 1st lasting until September 30th. Our mission continues to be serving
the local church by mobilizing Christians to bring help and hope to the survivors of the disaster. During the first twelve months (relief and recovery phases) we embarked on an ambitious plan to mobilize thousands of Christians throughout the entire disaster area through five regional bases. Over 2,388 Christian volunteers (some are repeaters) have now been deployed through those bases.
Over 30 outreach programs have started in towns and villages along the coast and cities in Tohoku. The time is ripe to hand off these programs to local churches and ministries for long term engagement and impact.
CRASH Japan has applied a classic training model to see sustainable ministries flourish in Tohoku. Our partnership with the local church began in the Relief Phase where we were charged with mobilizing volunteers to the affected areas. In the Recovery Phase, as the crisis abated, we encouraged local churches to take on a greater role in operating outreach programs. This has resulted in local churches enthusiastically taking ownership of these programs.
During the Partnership Phase, CRASH Japan, will take on a secondary role, directing the flow of volunteers to churches who need them. Churches in turn will be responsible to provide housing, meals and transportation for the volunteers they will field. The idea is that local churches continue the work even after CRASH Japan’s disaster response has concluded.
The task ahead is great. Your support in prayer and finances will ensure that the good work began right after March 11, 2011 will continue through local churches in Tohoku.

Japanese Partner Churches and Agencies
Beauty in the Midst of Darkness
Karen Nohara, Volunteer from Singapore
“Look! There are ladies waiting inside,” exclaimed Gerd Strauss (Ichinoseki Base staff). I (Karen) have prayed for the Japanese to come to know Jesus, and He gave me the privilege of serving these women through sewing.
Traveling to a temporary housing community, I had wondered if anyone would show up to my sewing class. Gerd made an extra effort to advertise and he seemed concerned about the attendance. Our fears were unfounded as 13 women took part on the first day. Now, what to do with only 7 kits prepared? IMPROVISE! The quilting project shifted to designing shopping bags. With this innovation all 13 women had a project to complete.
At the end of our classes, we excitedly posed with the bags for the photo-op. Several exclaimed the project had helped them rediscover creativity and community. My heart rejoiced that they had found the beauty of life in the midst of dark days.
CRASH Style WorksTomomi Onaya, Volunteer from Gunma, Japan
CRASH Japan’s Tono Base has a unique way of providing help and hope to survivors. Staff members go where very few go – to hard-to-reach temporary housing communities located deep in the mountainous regions of Iwate.
Talking to a leader of a temporary housing I discovered that some residents of his community were wary of Christian groups because of a previous bad experience. However, the leader said he has always welcomed CRASH volunteers.
I have been impressed with the Tono Base staff who focuses on building relationships. They welcome everyone to the mobile café announcing, “We are here to help.” Base staff can even call survivors by name!
The CRASH style of helping survivors works. Volunteers who serve through the Tono base are making a difference in survivors’ lives by showing loving acts of kindness. My biggest desire is for survivors to know the love of Jesus.
“We prayed with a mom who had nothing to remember her missing son by. The very next day she found her son’s photo album at a welfare center. She was overjoyed and exclaimed that this was a direct answer to our prayers.”
God Is Our RefugeGreg Thompson, Volunteer from Georgia, USA
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.
Psalm 46: 1–3
God brought this verse to mind when we first learned of the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Tohoku on March 11, 2011. At first we were stunned and shocked, like everyone else, and then we began doing everything we could do to find out the fate of our friends in Japan.
While the disaster received wall-to-wall coverage on television, it was Facebook that provided us with the most up-to-date information about how our friends and ministry partners were faring. Of course, we felt helpless and called to pray for Japan. Then, as others were leaving the country, we felt God calling us to go.
We knew about CRASH from some of our ministry partners who had already joined the CRASH effort. CRASH seemed to be answering the call better than anyone else in those first two chaotic weeks after the disaster. So my wife, Mary Belle, and I lugged our suitcases and sleeping bags to Higashi-Kurume near Tokyo and joined the effort. Mary Belle worked in the teeming CRASH temporary headquarters at Christian Academy of Japan while I went north with a CRASH team to Sendai and Ishinomaki. Then she and I went to Iwaki with another CRASH team to help a church there.
CRASH moved quickly and decisively into the breach, demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ in tangible ways. The situation was so overwhelming, it was easy to give up and tell ourselves that we could not make a difference. But through CRASH, God taught us about the “ministry of presence.” Sometimes, we learned, we were just supposed to be there to help, hug and encourage.
Mary Belle and I returned again a few months later and today, continue to support CRASH.
The Early Days at CRASHRebekah Suzuki, CRASH Staff from Tokyo, Japan
I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. I started with CRASH Japan after answering a Facebook invitation to volunteer as a bilingual speaker. The makeshift command center was jammed with so many volunteers. I thought I was going to translate but was thrust into organizing communications to field multiple phone calls and respond to a flood of emails.
Those who couldn’t provide office help offered their homes as housing for volunteers. Not only was there a need for coordinating volunteers, but also supplies and relief goods which were coming from all over Japan and the world. I would go home each day, thinking about the emails that still needed answering. Just like most at CRASH in those earliest days, I got very little sleep.
Running from the Tsunami
Cassie Vawter, Volunteer from Indiana, USA
While volunteering in Ofunato, a hard-hit coastal city in Iwate prefecture, I worked with a CRASH group that washed feet and gave hand massages at an evacuee shelter. We would sit and listen to women share their stories.
One woman spoke about running from the tsunami. Her voice quivered as she recalled the events. She said that Japan is an orderly society and that from early childhood all are taught to act as a group and wait for instructions. The one exception is the tsunami warning. When you hear the warning blasts, drop everything and run! Don’t wait for the others. Don’t line up. Instructions are not needed. Just run to the highest reachable ground. This woman did just that. She ran up as far upwards as she could; only a few others had run as high as she. Most—her friends, family, and neighbors—stopped at the “safe center” halfway up the mountain. She heard the ocean rumble and felt the winds become much stronger. She looked back to see the “great hand” of the tsunami pull the “safe center” down into the waves.
As we gathered our supplies and prepared to leave, the women started bowing. To me, this seemed too formal for the occasion. I felt the Holy Spirit nudge me into action, and took her in my arms and hugged her! She resisted for only a fraction of a second. Before I knew it, the whole room—all of us—were hugging, laughing and crying. Centuries of cultural rules were thrown out the window! According to other volunteers, this was the first emotional breakthrough they had witnessed.
“I was contemplating suicide but you keep coming back.”

December 2011–February 2012Financial Overview
The fiscal year 2011-2012 ends in March, and a year has passed since the triple disasters hit Japan. Understandably, media coverage of the disaster had significantly waned a few months after the catastrophic events; thus, donations gradually dwindled through the summer and fall months. In spite of this, donations received during this period (Dec. 2011-Feb. 2012)still amounted to US$537,500 (JP¥43,000,000).
The task ahead continues to be challenging. After a year of revitalization, media outlets praise the Japanese for the speed by which debris has been cleared. There is however the unseen clutter of confusion, deep wounds and crippling uncertainty that prevail in the hearts of those who have been affected by the tsunami and radiation exposure. CRASH Japan hopes to receive a steady stream of donations for the partnership phase so that local churches assisted by CRASH volunteers can continue to provide hope-giving care.
Donation DesignationsCRASH Japan’s Partnership Phase will focus on relaying already existing programs to local churches and ministries. Your continued financial support will allow these 30 or more programs to continue even after CRASH Japan’s involvement in Tohoku has concluded. You can designate donations to the care funds as designated on the right.
Undesignated funds will be directed to the Tohoku General Fund. CRASH Japan encourages donors to give to the general fund which gives CRASH flexibility to apply funds where they are most needed.
CRASH Japan ensures that all donations are used for the purposes for which they were raised. The Board of Directors has mandated that all contributions designated for specific programs shall be applied to those programs; however, CRASH may assess up to 10 percent of the designated gift to be used for its administration. Occasionally, CRASH may receive more contributions for a given program than can be wisely applied to that program. When this happens, CRASH will use these funds to meet a similar pressing need.
Out of the Void . . . Renewalby Emy Brubacherfrom Ontario, Canada, Volunteer at Ichinoseki Base
The earth shuddersIn angry revolt at being disturbedSending treasures crashing to the floor in its ireSpreading panic in the streetsThen stillness, a sigh of relief
Disturbed from rest,A silent beast arises from the depths
Moving stealthily towards the shoreGaining strength and momentum
As it feeds along the way
Ready to deal devastationThe torrential wave rolls towards land
Washing away existence as it is knownLeaving scattered debris
A barren void of previous life
Yet while black water erases assetsIt also washes away the scraggy tree, withered with age
Layers of ancient soil sucked of all nourishmentThe garbage piled in corners
Remnants of secreted pains and pasts
Cleared of clutter, confusion and chaosA blank canvas stands, washed of the past
Ready for renewal, in the smiles of the stoicThe survivors who bravely look ahead
Rather than ruminating the past
Out of the void, new life sprouts wings,From the strength of these people,
Lifting united voices and spiritsHope soars from the prospect of potential
Bringing promise of renewal
