Early this morning I received two more letters from our Understand
The Times representatives in Yangon. All our immediate family have
been preserved from the storm.
We are presently in the process of sending someone over to Yangon to
provide assistance and to help organize the dispersal of assistance
through Understand The Times in the surrounding area.
Please pray for favor that we may receive the necessary visas and be
able to go.
A fund for supporting the victims of the Myanmar disaster has been
established at www.understandthetimes.org
Checks can be sent to our two offices in Canada and USA.
Following are the two letters that were received today:
Dear Roger,
Internet access was down, now only I can email you again. Hope that
you are getting better in these days. With our children we are
always praying for your health.
At the time thousands of people lose their lives, by His protection,
we are survived but our programs and plan of wedding was failed on
Saturday and changed on Sunday. It turned to helping others in needs
especially for our members. Since every one was busy with his own
work, phone line and transportation problems caused by the storm and
flood, so we just called a church pastor, Philip and Dante and only
some of our neighbor and made wedding at home.
We learned so many lessons from those things happened. we felt that
God has taught us not to love the world neither the things that are
in
the world. It made clear that our earthly life is just really
temporary and unreliable. Now, the city of Yangon and it's
surrounding areas lose it's beautifulness. It has a lot of changes
and different from the time you came to Myanmar. The Prize of things
are getting higher day by day.
And unlimited numbers of outskirt people are in trouble because they
are homeless and without food. By His grace in this time we have
privileges to show our love, care and concern to our church members
at Shwelinpan who are in trouble by giving rice and the funds they
are really in need.
Among our members at Shwelinpan, two of the tents (houses) were
fallen down and faded away. another one of the roof was destroyed.
One was
survived. If we can not continue to supply their need, they will be
without food and house. So, I let you know the condition of our
church members at Shwelinpan. Beside, thousands of outskirt people
are in great trouble. they can not solve the problems they have by
their own.
Please pray that these things lead them to know and trust the
Saviour alone.
Your brother in Christ
Elisha
Dear Brother Roger:
I am so sorry that I could not give you information about us
earlier.
I know that many people concern about our situation. We are saved.
Bryce Lodges One, Two and my family are saved. We do not suffer any
serious damages. But the prices are sky rocketed.
Thank you so much for your concern.
Prayer Requests:
1. Give thanks to God for He has saved us from this storm.
2. Pray for all the Bryce children for the coming admissions to the
school. Usually, admissions start about May 20.
Sincerely yours,
Mang
