Dear friends

I am writing this from Thailand, with a heavy heart. I just returned a few hours ago from Burma where I met with our team. From here I leave for Africa for two Crusades and a School of Ministry in Mocambique.

I want to inform you about a tragic and ongoing situation for which we need your prayers and your support.

One of our Church-Planters Pastor Hnin Hnin Htay and her husband Pastor Aung Kham, planted a church in the remote community of Kyu Inn in Northern Shan State. We have actually three churches in three different towns in the area.

Hnin Hnin Htay and her husband planted this church and it began to grow as God did many mighty miracles of healing and deliverance through their ministry and many people came to Jesus as a result.
These new believers in their newfound love for Jesus forsook Buddhism and destroyed their Buddha idols and shrines that they had previously worshipped. This did not go down well with the monks at the local monastery who reported them to the local military authorities. The military and some local Buddhist thugs then attacked the Christians, beat them up, destroyed their property and threw them out of the town. These believers subsist on farming and so they went to their fields. They were attacked there also and forced to flee to the jungles, where they are right now.

It was during these events that Pastor Hnin Hnin Tay, our brave soul-winner, church-planter and Pastor’s wife was gang-raped by the thugs. Her mother, also a church-planter and Pastor with a tremendous healing ministry, was spared because of her age.

Over 100 Christians from 20 families have lost their homes and everything they own and are now out in the jungle without shelter. We need to do something about this immediately!

I had $2000 earmarked for our Church-planting School that I have released for immediate help for these suffering brethren. Our teams are going to go out to help them.

With the rainy monsoon season around corner we need to build simple houses for these 20 families. For $500 each (Total $ 10,000) we can build simple huts for these families. Then we need more funds for clothing, cooking utensils, food and for their other immediate needs! Total I am trusting God for $20,000 to help our suffering brethren.

Please help us with this! Mark your checks “BURMA AID”. You can help by check sent to our ministry office or online at www.pentecostalfire.com

Every Dollar that comes in shall go to help these brethren!

In Christ
Your brother
