Myanmar

Cyclone in Myanmar
 
I thought today was really eventful. Singyong shared her heart about Myanmar and I believe many of us felt the tug in our hearts. If we are hoping we can do more or want to know more. Do read on.
 
This is an update on their woes. Was given by my thai/karen friend Wah Gay. Her dad works with the refugee camps and the workers and helpers will  be going into Kaw Ta Kuh to help them.

Ñ At Laputta - People will be about 200 in Way Muh

 

 

That being said, I'll be meeting Wah Gay this Wed in thailand to pass her some funds collected to the people. It's important that the aid also reach the Karen people as they are the people being oppressed by the Junta Government and it's unlikely proper aid will come to them. I myself am really anxious to see their conditions improve. I believe God's heart is saddened by the loss of so many lives and I know He won't stand there and watch as these atrocities happen. I'm really glad that I'm able to share my heart on this too. It's affected me so much during the week that I do know that it's really God's heart beat to help the people. So I'm praying that God leads us as we give and also open doors for help and aid to come in. Lets pray, and pray and pray till something happens. Cos something will happen. I believe it.

 

God Bless,

Nigel
