157 報告を終わるにあたって Closing Thoughts 157 Our domestic fundraising will conclude on March 31, As of September 30, 2014 we have nearly reached our five year goal of one billion yen having raised over 900,000,00. However, the work of recovering continues and the are numerous churches that remain in need of repairs. These ongoing project will require funding. Being truly grateful to all among the congregations and affiliated organizations of the United Church of Christ in Japan for their generosity and cooperation, we ask that you keep these needs in prayer and ask for your continued support. As of March 11, 2014 the total number of victims of the disaster is 26,470 people. Additionally over one hundred thousand households in Iwate, Fukushima and Miyagi Prefectures still reside into temporary housing which was roughly 84% of those residing in the impacted area. In contrast following the Kobe earthquake of % found themselves in this circumstance at the same point in time. Clearly, the pace of recovery is slow and the residence of temporary housing have become weary. Given the current circumstance, the United Church of Christ in Japan will need support in its continuing relief efforts from its member congregations and associated organizations.
