Myanmar
I am sure you are not surprised to learn that Myanmar continues to undergo ceaseless attacks by the military. T. send an email last Friday. It is quite disturbing, but I want you to be informed. He writes:
War: It is getting worse and worse. The country has been a killing field, blood flows everywhere. Civilians are arrested and tortured unto death, houses are burned down, some are arrested and burned to death. Even innocents like women, children, and. the elderly are also killed without any reason. The terrorists have stayed in Church buildings, and then burn the church buildings down. Human life has no more value than animals. Big cities are much better than small towns and villages. Jet fighters, helicopters, and rockets are used to bomb villages and communities. Many people have fled to neighboring countries. On the way, some people are arrested and killed. Our neighboring countries have arrested the people who ran to their lands. Some people have died from lack of vitamins, and food.
It has been dark, the land has been very sick. The people of the land are crying for freedom. The people of God are crying, “How long Lord?”
Our heart breaks for the people of Myanmar. Yet it is our privilege to serve with T. who says, in the midst of this terrible situation, “We, servants of Jesus Christ, are trying to find a way of witnessing in the midst of trouble.”
We are thankful to our friends who graciously sent the funds to provide flu shots for our children. Recently T’s wife administered the shots to the children.
