We were most noticeable for our friendliness, willingness to share, readily striking conversations, joyful, pray before work, food and after work. People approach us telling us they noticed we are different from other volunteers who tends to keep to themselves. As all volunteers have to report back after the day’s work, some waited for us just to fellowship.

Whatever the task, we make it a point to complete it well.

In our first job in Rikuzentakata, we will assign to clear and clean the drain of sludge left untouched since the tsunami. We had trouble finding it and seems there is no one in sight when we were there. Later the owner, Mrs Kano arrived and thanked us for helping. We were able to pray with her before starting work. As it turns out, when the other teams of volunteers arrived, we found ourselves sandwiched between large groups of volunteers in full sight of them. Later, some came up to us to commend we managed to clear the drain so well and clean. They noticed our group was always joyful at work, systematic and cooperative. God placed us there for a reason, to be His witness. We thank God for anointing us with a spirit of joy and strength to complete the task.

On our last day, we were asked by Rikuzentakata Volunteer Centre to take a job the next day which is reserve only for Crash Japan volunteers. We were told it was due to the good feedback they received. We had to turn them down as we will leaving the next day.

Other times we have Christian and non Christian coming to us asking to pray for them. The world is watching, the stage is set for God people to show a glimpse of His fullness.
