Logistics is huge problem in getting help into devastated areas of Myanmar (Irrawaddy region). Reports are coming in from the teams whom we trained and are deploying the water purification systems. The following is from Simon (A National Pastor) sent recently: 

“Lastly, we visited the biggest camp where over 3000 refugees are staying. We have heard that four of the victims were bitten by cobra and died. They are living in the rice store house and it is very dark and dangerous for them. We took a young man from this camp to give him education in Yangon. He was survived by escaping to the mountain when the highest wave came. He did not eat two days and eventually, the villagers came and rescued him by boat. He said that many victims are dying each day by starving. Many victims are just eating Water Grass (Morning Glory) for a week and survived.SHOWING GOD’S LOVE This is the best time to show God’s love to the needy brothers. “We want to be Christian. Christians are very good. They came and rescued us. They feed us. They clothes us. They love us” One group of the victims were telling to our team. INFECTED DYSENTERY As I suggested you all that the foods are not safe, our team got dysentery on the way back. We had to get treatment.” 

We are receiving regular reports like this. Our hearts go out to victims and those fighting so faithfully to save as many as possible. As Simon said, what a wonderful time to show the love of God! We are departing for Haiti next week and will be there for several days. We are looking to return to Myanmar and even go to China. We will advise you as things develop further. Oh, by the way, be sure to check out the newscasts posted on the Air Mobile home page. God Bless and stay tuned for the next report.
