Prayer for Myanmar

You all know that cyclones devastated the lives of the people in Myanmar. Reports say as many as 100,00 are dead or missing. And 1.5 million people are facing hunger and disease. Relief efforts have been slow due to the government's unpreparedness, unwillingness to accept foreign aid, and refusal to grant visas. The situation is such that relief shipments are now being accepted but distribution has been allotted first to military and what remains to its citizens. Hence, suffering and corruption continues.

But we are not helpless, friends!! You CAN act. Please make it a part of your day today - a part of your life - to pray for the poor and oppressed.

Please pray:

• that God will provide the relief staff with the wisdom and resources they need to meet critical needs arising from this natural disaster
• for the people who have lost homes, possessions, livelihoods, and loved ones, as they struggle to recover and rebuild their lives
• for relief organizations, churches, and other groups that are working to meet the overwhelming needs
• that God will use the relief efforts to reach hurting people with the gospel of Jesus Christ
