Prayer Requests

Myanmar Mission

November 2024

Thanking God for:

  • His provision—In spite of the political and economic crisis we are experiencing, God has protected us and the orphanage children.  He has provided all our needs. God is so good all the time.
  • The pastor’s wife’s health condition—This year, it is a joy to see her improving health.  Even though she is not completely recovered yet, she is quite ok now.  We thank God for His grace and mercy. Thank you all for your unceasing prayer for her.
  • The church—God helps our church stay strong and keep growing in spite of the difficult circumstances. We thank God that we have new visitors almost every Sunday.

Please Pray for:

  • The young people—Many of the young people who try to avoid the mandatory military service have been blocked from the airport, and they are no longer allowed to go abroad as visitors.  Pray also protection for the pastor’s son as he is now an age where he is in danger of being forced to join the military.
  • The orphanage children—We have 25 children this year.
  • Two girls at the orphanage— One suffers from physical weakness after a 3 day fever left her unable to walk for a week. She is improving but is in need of more strength.  The other is suffering from a painful itching skin disease for the last 2 months and has not been healed yet.
