The unrest in Myanmar is only getting worse.

Heavy fighting and military attacks in hotspots are erupting around the southeast Asian nation, and the tragic loss of life continues to climb.

The citizens of Myanmar, including Christians, are caught squarely in the crosshairs.

I just received a report from one of LRI's partners—I feel it's necessary to share with friends like you:

"The situation in Myanmar has gotten much worse—there has been unimaginable bloodshed. Churches have been raided more than once, and for many, grief, loss, and uncertainty remain. Because of COVID and the coup, churches in Myanmar have not been able to come together, and this has really affected the pastors’ daily lives, as they are dependent on people physically attending and giving tithes. Because churches are not able to meet, pastors could not pay their rent. Many are slowly sliding into depression, and are in need of crisis debriefing and intervention.

"In the midst of all the violence, we thank the Lord that we still see pockets of wonderful things happening in the country. A few days ago, we had a children's camp in a remote area, and 40 children accepted the Lord! We are also able to minister to families through our marriage and family enrichment training in rural areas, far from the conflict.

"We have also heard of believers caught in high conflict zones needing help. In a village in a remote village, 150-200 believers are taking shelter. ... They request groceries and medicine. ... Some of our partners are asking us for more persecution preparedness training. We are hoping we can do more.

"We ask our global Christian family to stand with us in prayer. Our enemy is not flesh and blood. Prayer is the real battleground."

What an eye-opening yet heartbreaking report of the situation on the ground in Myanmar.

I praise God that there is SOME good happening, but our partner's words compel me even more to stand with our brothers and sisters experiencing such harsh suffering.

You know, Liberty Relief International is dedicated to standing with fellow believers wherever there is persecution and violence ... wherever practical ministry is most needed.

Thank you, as always.
