Cyclone in Burma


I found out about this disaster in Burma (Myanmar) through an organization called Gospel for Asia.  I think it is amazing how God is providing His people an opportunity to love their enemies through this disaster.  The background story is that the Junta government has been persecuting Christians and other minorities intensely for a long time, and they have done their best in the past to keep foreign aid workers from helping their suffering country prior to this disaster.  Want some examples, click here to read how Sylvester Stallone received death threats while shooting the latest Rambo movie.  Take a look at this article and see how these enemies of Christ are now turning to His people for help in this terrible time.  I would encourage you to pray for this situation and even consider donating to GFA's disaster relief program.  Help them share the love of the Savior with these suffering people and with this oppressive government who is realizing they are not as strong as they think they are.  The Lord sure does work in mysterious ways sometimes.
