By Gunma Center, Japan (Originally in Japanese)
Our Association members from Gunma Center are very concerned about the European refugee situation when we listen to the news about them every day. Following Master’s loving instruction to assist the refugees, when we learned that a Japanese NPO (nonprofit organization) was collecting tents for Syrian refugees, we sent 50 tents through them. During this time of the winter, there were hardly any tents for sale in our area, but miraculously, we managed to find 50 of them. This number surprised the NPO who was collecting tents, as they had only found 30 of them. The tents were delivered to Syrian refugees in December 2015. We plan to send clothes to the refugees through the NPO in the near future. Our deep gratitude to Master for Her love and blessing, giving us the opportunity to help the Syrian refugees during the holiday season this year.
