UPDATES FROM MYANMAR


TOE SET (EAST faculty) and his wife Mag returned to Myanmar for more relief ministry.

Here's some news from their latest email:

"After praying and fasting, our team members decided to reach out to villages further in another region that have not yet received much help.

"These are villages that can only be reached by boat. The plan was to leave this week, bringing in medical and food supplies sufficient to reach several villages in the area.

"In preparation for this, we flew out four of our team members to Singapore to bring back medical supplies to Yangon. We arranged for them to leave in pairs on two separate days, carrying a total of 400 kg of medicines.

"Thank you for praying!
After two days of running around town from one government department to another our team finally got the approval for the release of ALL our medicines.
Please continue to pray for future relief efforts. . . . "

About Me

In the Old Testament in the Bible, there was a man named Jacob who "wrestled with God and man." He wouldn't let God go until God answered his prayers. God admired that and renamed him Israel, "the one who fought or wrestled and prevailed". He fought with man--his inner man--and conquered his own weaknesses. He's my hero. He is what I hope God and man see me to be.
