Over the past several years, THE BRIDGE has shared the gift of music with many people in areas affected by disasters throughout Japan. Not only in the areas affected by the earthquake and tsunami, such as Tohoku and Kumamoto, but also in the western part of Japan, which was severely damaged by torrential rains, the need for relief work for "emotional recovery" is spreading nationwide. With your support and cooperation, we will be able to deliver encouraging and healing THE BRIDGE concerts to more disaster areas.
We appreciate your support as we continue to encourage people in these affected areas with our music.

The BRIDGE also began activities in the disaster-stricken areas of the Noto Peninsula, following the earthquake that occurred on January 1, 2024. We first entered Noto on February 2, and since then, we have been visiting the area about once a month.  Starting in May, we have been able to hold concerts in evacuation centers and temporary housing to aid in emotional recovery. We plan to continue visiting the disaster-stricken areas of Noto and Tohoku in the future.

The BRIDGE ministry, which delivers comfort and hope through music to disaster-stricken areas, is expanding to evangelize young Japanese musicians. To build relationships with these young musicians, I enrolled in a music university in Japan. By adding them as members of The BRIDGE Band and engaging in musical activities together, I am deepening our relationships and sharing the Gospel with them.
