He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?" - Romans 8:32

Pray for Believers in Myanmar

Because it was the life of Adoniram Judson that the Lord used to call me into missions, I have always had an especially deep interest in Myanmar (Burma) since that is where Judson ministered for the rest of his life. Myanmar has an atrocious human rights record and is rarely talked about or on anyone's radar when it comes to the strange military rule and persecutions and killings that are always taking place there. I recently received this release from Voice of the Martyrs and hope that everyone who comes across this would pray for the believers in Myanmar:

Military Government Asks for List of Christians - VOM Sources - The government in Burma has again asked for lists of all the names of Christian children's homes, assemblies, church pastors, leaders, members and families. The military government has also fixed the time for worship which forbids Christians to meet outside these "official" times. Christian leaders in Burma do not know what the government is going to do with the lists. Pray God gives Christians in Burma wisdom and boldness during this time. Pray for protection of all Christians and ask their experience may draw non-believers into the knowledge of Christ. Revelation 2:10


It doesn't seem like there would be any redeeming reason that the military would be asking for those names. Pray against something a killing fields type incident of the Khmer Rouge of Cambodia.

Also, continue to pray for Indonesia. 2 days ago an earthquake killing 70, today a plane crash killing 22. Here is a chronology of some of the major disasters of the last 2 years.
