Some of the men now working in the Fukushima nuclear plant are Christians.

Ayumi Yamashita sent an urgent prayer from Izumo Minami Chapel:

There are at least 2 Christian workers right now working on the cooling system of the Fukushima nuclear plant. Please pray for them. We have been asked to NOT mention their names.

My apologies to all who have received the email I sent out yesterday.  The mention of the name of the Japanese brother may put him in a predicament.  The missionary who sent out the original email has apologized for putting the brother at risk by mentioning his name and title.

We still do want to uphold our brother in prayer so if you are asking others to pray, please edit out the Japanese brother's name and title in the email you send out.  Also, if anyone has posted this online in any webpage, please edit out his name and title asap.

Please forward this email to the other people you may have forwarded my previous email to.

Here is a security alert regarding this project.  Pls refrain from further dissemination of his name.  It may do him disservice. I know that you understand such matters.

Russ,

FYI on this.  Thanks.

My understanding is this guy is for real. Problem is the missionary who knew him well mentioned his name and title when he should NOT have. 

In church today, this missionary apologized and explained to us that he overstepped his bounds and may have actually put this Christian in a bad predicament by outing him. 

He requested 2 things:

1. Although this person is real, please do not mention his name or title. 

2. If there is anything already out there, Try to pull down or edit out his name and title if at all possible. If not, do not go further with the specifics.

The original Fukushima First Bible Baptist prayer request:

Sister S's husband, is in the Fukushima Nuclear Plant One. 

Sister N's husband, is in the Fukushima Nuclear Plant One.

Sister K's husband, has departed to the Fukushima Nuclear Plant Two yesterday.

Brother N is leaving to Fukushima Nuclear Plant Two on Monday. 

PRAY with us!!!

For the Lord's protection, and success in the work!!!
