Although I’ve never been to that part of the world, LEAMIS International Ministries (the group with which I take my short-term foreign mission trips) has had a number of trips to Myanmar, where a recent cyclone has caused enormous devastation.

Gail and Debra finally heard from the pastor with whom they work in Yangon. His school and orphanage have been damaged, and there’s no place for the children to stay right now. To make matters worse, as you may have seen in the news, the government is stubbornly refusing to allow many types of foreign aid.

Check the LEAMIS web page as time goes on for more information about the situation and how you might be able to help.
