Continuing to Pray for Myanmar

myan.cyc.44.jpg

Last October I posted a prayer request for Myanmar, a nation of 65 million people comprising 135 different people groups, many of whom have never been impacted by the Gospel. With only a small percentage of Christians and no foreign missionaries allowed in, the gospel is carried forth by native believers.

As the news this week records mounting reports of death and destruction wrought by the Cyclone in Myanmar, I wanted to ask that we again pray for this nation.

Included in the prayer needs I listed, was a center for church planting and a prayer, that had been shut down due to government persecution, and asked for prayer for it's reopening. I got an email today from the son of a man who helps lead the center. My friend writes:

My dad...informed us that part of our Training Center was damaged. But it was minor and many people came to our facilities for shelter during the storm. Our main concern is our four church planters who are in the Irrawaddy region that [has been flooded] for several days now. Our best hope is that they still survive. Please prays for these four folks.
Please pray with me for these church planters, for the Christians giving shelter to their neighbors, and that God would do mighty things in the recovery of this nation. Pray that the best healing—that of the Gospel—would go forth in the midst of this tragedy.

Thanks for the update. I have been and will continue to pray for these folks. I'm glad to hear their training center was not badly damaged and is being used to reach out to others.

I pray that the gospel would continue to shine forth through their lives and would reach many through this time.
