This message was sent by a relief-team leader training
new relief teams inside Burma as we were planning this year’s day
of prayer:
Dear friends,
I am thankful to all of you who pray and care for the people of Burma
and to God who has all things in His hands. As I look around the beautiful
jungle valley we are in and see the rushing streams and rising mountains
and enthusiastic new teams I am filled with gratitude. All of this
is a gift from God and those of you who help us in this.
I was reminded again that we can not do this alone nor have we ever
done anything alone here. This fills me with wonder at God’s provision
and the generosity and breadth of vision from people like you. It
also motivates all of us here to do our best and live full, free and
useful lives that glorify God and honor you all.
We believe that:
God loves the people of Burma and we should be strong in the
mighty power of God.
The rider on the white horse (Rev 19:11-14) will fight for the
oppressed.
We should go deep and go ahead, not broad or shallow or sideways.
God reveals what lies in darkness.
We are reminded and inspired that God cares and takes action in all
of our lives.
Thank you all for your prayers, love and support.
God bless you,
A relief-team leader, Karen State, Burma
