When the Earth Shook, God's Love Stood Firm: RELIEF MISSION TO MYANMAR
The 28 March quakes in Myanmar killed over 3,800 people and damaged or destroyed more than 55,000 homes across multiple regions, including Bago, Kayin, Magway, Mandalay, Southern Shan, Naypyitaw and Sagaing. In response, we visited affected communities to extend compassion and care, personally ministering to victims in temporary shelters, including an elderly monk in a hospital ward last April 13-15. Partnering with local churches, we also helped distribute rice relief packs to families in need, bringing both physical sustenance and spiritual encouragement. Indeed, the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. – Psalm 34:18
Children and families in Myanmar received rice relief packs—grateful smiles filled the air as hope arrived in their community.
