I’ve been out of town for a couple of days, but I have been watching with sadness and prayer the horrifying problems that the people in Myanmar (Burma) are facing. On May the 3rd, the country suffered devastating losses when Cyclone Nargis came ashore along the densely populated, rice farming delta of the Irrawaddy Delta. News reports state that there are over 23,000 deaths, over 60,000 people still missing and that the death toll could reach as high as 100,000. How horrible! Just recently, the country is allowing Aid planes and supplies to land- yet they are refusing assistance from the US. I feel a sense of connection to this land as my family have deep friendships with many many missionaries in this part of the world. The Morse family who have faithfully served in SE Asia for decades spent a great amount of time and ministry in Burma. In fact the Morses are still very much a part of the Jesus work in that region. Please join me in praying for the them and for the people in Myanmar. May Christ bring peace and blessing to those who are in great distress right now!
