There is some Good News in the Land of Golden Pagodas.
There is freedom of religion and the strong foundations laid by Baptist and CMA
missionaries in the past have helped the church of our Lord to develop into a missionary
sending church today. Although the church is not large, it is growing in
spite of adversity.
The is also much bad news in Myanmar. The military regime
has brought the country to destitution, it is now one of the poorest countries on earth.
Democracy has been thwarted, no doubt by the Enemy to bind the people and to curb
the growth of the kingdom of God. Huge groups of Burmese people have yet to hear the
gospel, and much work remains before all the nations (people groups) have heard the Word.
Our prayer for Myanmar: "Oh Father, we rejoice at the
work You've done in this hard place. Thank You for sending your best men and women
to plant the church, it was done well. Thank You for growth and vision in the
leadership of the Myanmar churches. Thank You especially that they have sent more
than 2000 missionaries out to win the world for You, but Father, remember the millions
that have not yet heard the Good News in Myanmar. What can be done to set them free?
"Jesus, we ask in Your Name for workers to reach out to the
peoples in Myanmar that haven't been reached yet. Make a way for church planters to
live and work among the lost, and empower them by Your Spirit to witness effectively for
You. Give us wisdom in how we can participate in what You are doing there.
Thank You, Lord, so much for the Good News we hear from our hurting brothers and sisters
there. Encourage and strengthen them, we pray, in Your Precious Name.
Amen."
