As the news of the devastation following the cyclone that has hit My*anmar makes it's way aroudn the world, PLEASE keep this country, and it's people in your thoughts and prayers.
The cyclone, hit the city of Yan*gon, popluation of over 6.5 million people. Yan*gon is the city where Ashley and her YWAM team spend 3 weeks in February.
My*anmar is a very CLOSED country, which is not open at all to the gospel. While Ashley's team was in My*anmar, they were restricted with what they were able to do. Daily, Ashley and her team would walk the city streets praying silently, as any mention of God...could result in imprisonment.
The death, and those missing has now reach 10,000 people, and many are without clean water, food and shelter.
There are MANY Christian ophanages in My*anmar, and we pray that the leaders, and children are protected and have clean drinking water, food and shelter.
Please pray, that this tragedy will be an open door to the gospel...being show tangibly, in the country..as christians now try to meet their physcial needs, which may open the door to meeting their spiritual needs.
(NOTE: The reason you are seeing My*anmar spelled with the * is to protect YWAM. Often, countries who are closed to the gospel, use the internet to search for organizations that are in their country, preaching the gospel.)
I have been following your blog for some time now, but have never left a comment.

Yes, it is hard to wrap your brain around the fact that over 22,000 lives have been lost! Maybe God was trying to shake up that country.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you visited my blog recently, by the way. I'm here to return the favor. :)
I will be joining you in prayer for this country!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU for your prayers!
I love the new look of your blog! I have stopped by before on the run, but didn't get a chance to comment. Looks great!
My husband left for Thailand on Monday for an Army training thing, but maybe he will be diverted to help with these poor people. All that one cyclone can do is horrifying. I will pray for these people and when my hubby finally calls maybe he can tell me something.
