Changing Lives with the Love of Christ

Field report: Myanmar

A Plea for Help from Pastor Paul

Thousands of people have lost their lives. Homes, hospitals and government buildings were severly damaged in the 7.7 earthquake. The wounded are being cared for in outdoor makeshift centers and thousands, afraid to return to damaged buildings, are living in tents on the streets. 

Huge Earthquake in Myanmar

In Moments of Great Tragedy People Search for Hope

Dear friends,

I received an urgent request for help from Pastor Paul in Myanmar:

“Many Christians and other families are suffering and in desperate need of food, water and temporary shelter. Please help!”

We need and can help Christian families in desperate need!

The 7.7 magnitude earthquake that struck close to Mandalay, the country’s second-largest city, on March 28 left more than 3,000 dead, over 4,000 injured (as of this writing).

Although Pastor Paul lives near one of the hardest hit areas, he is grateful to the Lord he survived and can help others.

People are in shock and terrified.

Hundreds of buildings have collapsed leaving thousands homeless. Others are too frightened to go back into their homes and are sleeping out in the streets despite the 100°F scorching temperatures.

Roads, airport and hospitals are badly destroyed. The damaged infrastructure has left massive power outages. There is sporadic electricity and the water supply has been damaged.

Pastor Paul is praying for the wounded, the weak, and the abandoned. Families and children are in desperate need of emergency aid. With modest means, he shares water, food and shelter with those in great need as he waits for more help.

This tragedy unites all in the same desperate need of survival.

With the love of Christ, Pastor Paul is ministering to his Christian community and neighbors. Believers and non-believers are all in a state of hopelessness.

In moments of great tragedy people are searching for hope.

They need to hear God’s words of hope:

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Isaiah 41:10

I am asking for your URGENT help in this time of crisis.

With Easter just around the corner, what better way can we show love and compassion but direct them to Christ who showed us His love on the cross?

Please send your gift of love today!

Together in His Ministry,

Paul H. Popov
