Prayer Requests

Myanmar Mission

October 2024

Thanking God for:

  • The strength and commitment of the church to keep moving forward even in the midst of political unrest.
  • New visitors to the church almost every Sunday.
  • The permission granted by the local authority to worship each week.  For the last 2 years, the church has been required to seek permission every week to hold a worship service and must include the names of the people who will be in attendance.
  • The unfailing prayers and continuous financial support of the people of God throughout this difficult time of political and economic crisis.

Please Pray for:

  • The Pastor’s son as he is now of an age that he is in danger of being forced to join the military. Pray for all of the young people. Many who tried to leave the country to avoid military service are now being blocked from the airports.
  • Protection of the church as it fears the rule of military government will have serious implications including further restrictions for the church.
  • Peace to prevail in a country torn by conflict, that the violence would end, democracy would be restored and political control would be returned to the elected government. Pray for God’s peace, justice, and righteousness to be established.
