Comfort for the Victims of the Peru Earthquakes

On August 15th of 2007, two violent earthquakes shook the country of Peru, killing over 600 people and destroying 40,000 houses. The earthquakes, which lasted over two minutes, were 7.5 and 7.9 degrees on the Richter scale. Through the sponsorship of Activated Ministries, we were able to distribute more than 5,000 copies of a special edition the Activated magazine called “Why Disasters?” to those living in the affected areas. The magazine contained words from Jesus to give these disaster victims the courage and strength needed to deal with their dire situations, articles on how to trust in God in the midst of so much disaster, answers to their questions, and the chance to receive Jesus’ comfort and salvation through asking Him into their hearts as their personal savior.

Christmas Clown Therapy in Hamano, Japan

On December 19th, 2007, The Family International in Hamano visited the Chiba Hospital, bringing a group of clowns and balloons, a children’s show group, Santa Claus, and presents for the patients. Our clowns and several volunteers went from room to room, bringing Christmas cheer to the otherwise somber wards. We were able to spend time with the children in the cancer ward, as well as the ICU. Among the presents that we brought to the children were 170 new children’s picture books, sponsored by Activated Ministries. The book entitled “The Garden” has an encouraging message and giving one to each child helped to make the whole program something for the children to remember each time the book is read.
