Please Pray for Myanmar ...

I'm sure by now you've probably heard about the major cyclone that hit Myanmar (Burma) over the weekend. Our office here has been busy in the aftermath, getting out news reports so people here can be praying and helping the precious people of Myanmar. Here is a report on our website, describing some of the devastation in the words of one who observed it firsthand.

You can also see more on the cyclone at BBCnews.com. Current death toll has risen to more than 22,000. It is hard to think of so many lives lost ... and hard to think of people suffering, whether in Myanmar with this cyclone, or the hard things I've seen dear friends go through here in the States. Yet ... even though I don't have "the answers" to all this heartache, I know that there is a God who does, and that He is just as much in control and full of compassion as always!

I think of how so many times He has used events like tsunami and flooding ... and even Hurricane Katrina a couple of years back ... for people to come to Christ. He is still on His throne and full of infinite compassion, and mighty to save!

Please pray for Myanmar. Pray that many precious survivors, so dear to the Father's heart, would embrace the hope that can be theirs through Jesus.
