The devastation in Japan is a sober reminder that our orphans in the low-lying delta region of Burma are at risk of harm from events such as the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and Typhoon Nargis which deprived them of their parents in 2008. I received an email from Jeremiah today that highlights this danger:
Hello Family, I got the money which you sent. Please pray for the children, nowadays, here in Asia, there are so too much rains and strong wins, so our children are not safety at the moment … our children are in the area where mostly storm come, sea flood and easy to blow wins there … we must move to safety place like inside the city of Yangon … We do need to [do] something urgent for the safety of the children. What do you think? I wish to hear from you soon. Please do cooperation for the children to get safety. Jeremiah. In Christs’ Name.
Reader, will you help us bring these children to safety and provide sustenance and a future for them? I know God will be pleased by your love and care for these children. We have been expanding our outreach during the last few months, so your gift of just 10 or 25 or 50 dollars per month will be enough to build a brand new orphanage in a safe area for these children and provide them with food, medical care and an education. Will you do it?
