Catholicism has a long tradition in Sendai.
Look for consolation from the non-traditional Jesus soon.

The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy.
(i.e. what has been blessed previously leads to blessing in the future).

Revival in Sendai!
In November, 1886, a noteworthy revival began in Sendai. The churches of different denominations had united in a series of meetings. Large audiences gathered, and many of the Christians were so impressed that they went into the fields or to the hills for prayer, it always being difficult in a Japanese house to obtain privacy. Others remained in the church until three o’clock in the morning. Some went to the houses of the pastors to confess their sins and seek help, while many made a public acknowledgment of their sins. Persons who had before shown no sympathy with revivals now acknowledged their mistake. The report of these things spread abroad and led to the holding of similar meetings in other cities.

While most of the churches were rejoicing in great prosperity, there were in several places special manifestations of the Holy Spirit’s presence. A letter describing what occurred in the Girls’ School connected with the English Church Mission in Osaka says:
“The blessing of a revival which God graciously granted to many of his servants in Japan, foreign as well as native, extended also to some of the older girls in the school, who gave proof that they had been drawn nearer to God. Emotions of envy and jealousy, deeply rooted, were mutually confessed and wept over, and pardon was sought for them in united prayer, and the girls began to love each other more sincerely and cordially.”

I wanted to find out which relief agencies might be most effective.
Some websites for you to peruse  that might receive your support are outlined below.
To me, the ones that are faith based would be the most sustainable into the future, so they are listed first.

I haven't been able to find any local Sendai Fellowships that I could recommend, yet.
Here are Tokyo based ones with Australian connections.
