please pray for the people in and along the Thai-Burma border who live in such poverty and helplessness. many people committed suicide, hung themselves or drank insecticide, because the heavy burden of life was too much too bear. it saddened my heart to hear these stories. but there is always hope. a karen-burmese pastor, who at the time a karen army captain fleeing war from burma 20 years ago said, "we can never know how good will come out of the really bad situation. but if it weren't for those burmese soldiers who came raiding our villages and caused me to run to this side of the country, there would never have been 490 people believed and got baptized today!" what an awesome testimony. 490 believers and more...out of the situation i
deemed as "injustice". God does great things in this world. and you just
have to be available for Him to work through you.
God can turn the evil injustices of this world into good! Even now, the Burmese refugees who faced horror are now being shown kindness and love by Christians in Thailand and they are coming to know Christ - who can give them ultimate hope. That's an amazing story to be a part of!
If you want to be part of helping these Christians minister to these hurting refugees, support my walk coming up in a little more than a week!
P.S. If you're wondering why my goal for donations suddenly went up, it's because we're having technical difficulties, so this page is now serving as the donation page for all three of us!

Amber, the issue of the hurting refugees is one that is near and dear to our hearts. We have friends who lead the Free Burma Rangers, living in northern Thailand and working in Burma. Thank you for raising awareness of this atrocity and the need to minister to these people.
Thank you, Jill!
