The 3.11 Iwate Church Network website was set up and is now operational.

In response to the many offers of support from outside the prefecture, Kondo (Morioka), Otsuka (Morioka Minami), Sasaki (Kitakami) and Wakai (Mizusawa) discussed how to respond via Skype, and decided to make a field trip to the affected coastal areas on the 21st.

A Skype meeting was held based on the field trip on the 21st. It was decided to establish the 3.11 Iwate Church Network to serve as a contact point for future support activities in the disaster area and for volunteers from outside the prefecture. Since it is a church network, each pastor will explain the network to his or her church and ask for approval. The name of the network was not decided in the Skype meeting, but was decided in an email meeting that night.
