Myanmar (Formerly known as Burma)

Focus On: Myanmar A COGOP|CONNECTIONS and GLOBAL OUTREACH MINISTRIES UPDATE Killer Cyclone Rips Through Myanmar (Burma) On Saturday, May 3, 2008, cyclone Nargis blasted the western Coast of Myanmar, killing over 30,000 people and leaving upwards of 2 million others missing or displaced. A top U.S. diplomat in Myanmar said this week that the death toll from the cyclone and its aftermath could reach 100,000, according to the Associated Press (AP). The ruling military junta which has kept the impoverished nation of 24 million isolated for more fifty years has been criticized for restricting access of foreign officials and aid organizations struggling to deliver relief supplies and provide assistance to the many victims of the storm. We have a Bible school and a number of churches in the capital city of Yangoon. None of our members were killed but six members lost their homes to the raging storm and are in desperate need of our help. Our national overseer, Peringatan Zebua, has appealed on behalf of these precious people, "Since I was over there, I can feel how the members of our church there are sad this time." Your prayers and financial help are deeply appreciated at this time. We are able to get funds into the country through secure channels.
