Burma transitioned to a new, semi-civilian government in March, stirring hopes for significant change, including the re-admission of Aung San Suu Kyi into the political arena. A new Human Rights Commission was established in September, with minorities represented on it. It remains to be seen how independently it will operate. However, pressure on Christians from society and the military appears unchanged. There were several reports of the army harassing Christians of the Kachin tribe. In November a bomb killed 7 children and 3 Kachin people at an orphanage run by Christians.
Pray:
- For wisdom for a respected member of the Christian Kachin minority serving on the new Human Rights Commission
- Hundreds of imprisoned political dissidents were released at the end of 2011, but at least 2,000 remain in prison. Pray for their release
- That promised political reform will bring more freedom to Burma’s Christians.
Dear Lord, Please be with the Christians in Burma. Thank You Lord,for our brothers and sisters there. Please encourage them and bless them this day. Send Your angles to encamp around them as they fear You and You alone as Ps. 34 says. Deliver them from fear and give them courage.
“5 No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
6 “Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. 7 Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:5-9
Please make the pastors strong in You so that they can encourage others in You. Bless the little children Lord, may they know You as their Father and protect them from those that would want to harm them. We love You Lord and look forward to meeting our family from Burma in Heaven one day.
