Within Your Gates Update: Myanmar Persecution
We received a deeply troubling update from the Church of God community in Myanmar. Shortly after the Feast our LCG 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐌𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐦𝐚𝐫, along with many others, 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚 (Myanmar: AKA Burma, has been in an ongoing civil war since 2021).
Their village has since been burned, and those unable to escape were tragically killed. The military now controls communication and has cut off both internet and phone lines, making contact extremely difficult.
Some brethren are sheltering with others, some are hiding in the countryside, and others no one’s been able to reach them. Despite these hardships, they’ve asked for one thing: our prayers.
Please join us in praying for their safety, strength, and God’s divine protection during this time of great danger for them! We’ll keep you updated on the situation as we receive it.
