Missionaries in Myanmar: PART 1
“Dear loving Brethren,
I am writing this Report with a broken and trembling heart.My eye is filled with sadness and tears of hurt. First of all I want to beg you to pray for our safety and protection.
The military has taken control and is killing civilians. Everyday we needed to collect dead bodies on the road with tears and pains.Banks are being shut down, and it isn’t easy to get online.
Everywhere is filled with smoke and fire as factories are burned and destroyed.Thousands of people don’t have work,food,and a place to stay now.Almost all of our church members ran back to their village. There is neither market nor a shop where we can buy food because every road is blocked.How long will we last if it continues like this!?
Just a while ago, the soldiers’ truck came and stopped near our house. We were terrified; they captured six people who were having tea in the shop. God is my only Hope.
This morning my husband and daughter witnessed A horrific event of a motorcycle being hit by a van. The couple literally flew off the bike!Quickly, we jumped out to help! my daughter immediately checked for injuries. After checking, it seems the lady may have a dislocated arm, broken leg and whiplash.the man seemed ok. Christina told them that she is a Christian, and asked if she could pray for them. They said yes, so she layed her hand on the lady and began to pray out loud.She prayed for peace, healing, thanksgiving and prayed for them to find a more precious meaning for their life. As she left, she told them she loved them.
It is not coincidence that we were there at that exact moment in time to help.
It was not coincidence that she could relate to them and show sympathy - because she herself was hit on a motorbike with her little brother!
So we truly believe that today IS A link in a chain in their lives - which will lead them to Salvation.Will you stop and pray for them?
Here to ask for earnest prayer on behalf of a dear missionary family in China. They cannot post for themselves. Their family is besieged with respiratory illness, several of them severely. The consequences of even being suspected of being ill like this are severe in China. This family needs the healing power that Jesus paid for on the Cross.They are weary in the battle. Please pray.
@tanjaostman , my experience has been similar on DD. Just uplifting, refreshing, a place that speaks of family in Christ. My husband and I who grew up "going" to church 3 times a week and more have been on a journey for the last several years in our faith and in our understanding of what the Church is and how precious the church is to Christ. Sometimes, the irony is so great: our understanding has enlarged about Christ and His bride, but the living out of it with others has felt small and often lonely to me in that so few seem to understand how to gather and "be" in Christ together without it having to be in a traditional church setting. We hunger for that mutual enjoyment of Christ. I find DD to be one of the first platforms I've found this.
It's going to be so wonderful when we get to meet face to face someday! Blessings to you in Finland, our dear sister.
@KarlGessler, do you folks ever come to Central PA? Love your blog and just who you all are as a family in Christ.
@weavers4jesus , praying for precious Joshua.
URGENT:
Urgent. Pray right away. I (mom) woke up to find Joshua laying beside me - in the middle of a seizure. His don’t shake. Instead he loses body control and can’t move or talk and his heart races etc. so they are basically silent with zero movement. And dangerous because of his type. Christina rushed to take over care of him while I went and mixed the emergency meds. Time is important.
We have given him his emergency medication. And see some small improvement already. But please pray if you see this.🥺🥺🥺🥺
Guys I can't give any details and I will not be posting this information on any other forum, but this week is really important to us at BTJ. we have Chinese pastors that have traveled to be together for the first time since the pandemic started last year. It is amazing to be with them and in prayer with them, but we need to plan the best way to support the church in China for this year. We do not want our own ideas, agendas, and thoughts to pollute what God has for us. Please pray for the leading and the guiding of the Holy Spirit during this time.
When there is no other way, God can make a way.
They world has forgotten, but God has heard your prayers Yemen.

@sinbach , Oh I wish we could have joined you there! Berwick's not far from us. Hopefully there will be more opportunities to have you in our area and tell our friends!
Ok. With America one step closer to this INEQUALITY act, now is the time for everyone to get our friends, family and people around the world connected on here. One day overnight we could be disconnected. I have connections in dozens of countries but sadly it is connections that are mostly social media even though I have been with them all at their places. It would be devastating to lose that. We need to all become diligent. I will pick up my traffic here and began to drive my persecuted church friends here from around the world. Let's pray for all countries who are already under authoritarian rule and let's pray for America that the plan of the enemy is stopped before they get there. It could happen quick.
@sinbach , my husband gave me Jesus in Iran, per my request, for Christmas! I can't say how delighted I was to hear your Purim episode last night and tonight! I thought, "Yes! More believers are going to get to see God's hand upon Iran both in Esther's day and in this day!"
Ironically, my parents named me Esther after my grandmother so I've always felt a connection in name, and more recently, have been so stirred with love for our Jesus in reading the book of Esther, looking for all the places Jesus is pictured, i.e., going before the KING on our behalf, willing to actually perish that we might not be anhilated.
Thankyou, thankyou, for writing that book, and for the tremendous encouragement you're giving the body of Christ through the BTJ podcast!
Please pray for my son Brandon for healing!!!!
He needed to get a nose blockage opening surgery and tonsils out as he had a problem that was making him quite sick and there were no other options. 😭 The pain is unreal- having both done at the same time.
He has been experiencing a VERY DIFFICULT time. I feel so badly for him. He is trying to be as cheerful as he can while bleeding from his nose and phlegm from the mouth and the pain of both surgeries. He also has fever.
Someone asked if there is anything that they can do to help and yes...there will be extra costs involved for him, and as you know because of a severe lockdown here in China, he has been unable to work. So, if you feel led to help it would take a weight if worry off his mind ❤️ As a family man with two little babies and wife.
