蒲牧师在信中写道,日本人们在"3‧11"地震以及海啸中失去宝贵的性命甚至整个城巿,所承受的悲痛非旁人所能明白,但同为基督肢体的香港基督教协进会愿与哀哭的人同哭,并表示愿意为他们提供任何方面的帮助,更表示会在信心、盼望及爱心上与他们结成一线,又会祷告上帝赐给他们平安的心去面对日后的恢复和心灵重建的路。
《日本仙台地震、海啸本会致日本基督教协进会慰问信》全文如下:
March 15, 2011
To: Rev. Hiroko Ueda
National Christian Council in Japan
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
At this tragic and heartbreaking time in Japan, the Hong Kong Christian Council sends its deepest condolence and prayers to your nation and its people. The magnitude of the destruction from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami is overwhelming with the devastating loss of precious lives and even whole cities. It is difficult for us to comprehend the pain and suffering that you are experiencing, yet as one body in Jesus Christ, please know that we weep with those who weep (Rom. 12:15).
As Hong Kong and Japan have many links and relationships, we are ready to assist you in any way we can help during this crisis. We are sure that NCCJ and its partner churches are responding with full force to minister to the nation. We stand with you in faith, hope and love as you face the days ahead, and pray that God will give you all safety and the peace that passes understanding as you recover and rebuild your lives.
Yours in Christ,
Rev. Po Kam-Cheong
General Secretary
