PDA is responding to needs from the 8.9 magnitude earthquake that struck Japan and the ensuing tsunamis across the Pacific rim.

PC(USA) has mission partners in Japan. World Mission has received positive reports on the welfare of mission coworkers.  Read updates on the World Mission Japan page.

PDA staff and National Response Team members are contacting potentially affected presbyteries to offer assistance.

One Great Hour of Sharing funds have been sent to support an initial response through our ecumenical partner.  We are meeting with a PC(USA) mission worker with experience in Asia to determine a response with our mission partners.

Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) has set up a direct response account for donations. Individuals can give through their congregation, by calling PresbyTel at (800) 872-3283, on the secure PC(USA) website, or by sending a check to:

Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
P.O. Box 643700
Pittsburgh, PA 15264-3700

Gifts should be designated for account DR000117 — Japan Earthquake and Tsunami.

Read reports as they become available, and find resources on the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami index.

Denominational leaders have issued a Call to Prayer for those impacted by the earthquake and tsunami.
