15 April 2021 UPDATE: We are very pleased that the offerings we have received to date are sufficient to fully take care of these families! If saints are still burdened to give, any money offered will be used for the Lord’s work in Myanmar.
7 April 2021
Dear saints,
As mentioned in the New Zealand National Conference, there is an urgent need for an offering to the
saints in Myanmar.
A total of 57 saints, composed of 11 families, took ground of the church in their village and have been
meeting for about 2 1⁄2 years. This has caused them to be persecuted by other Christian groups in that
same village and as a result, they have all been ordered to leave their village by 15 April 2021,
otherwise their houses will be burnt down. This means that these saints will lose their houses, land and
their means to make a living. The recent coup has resulted in much lawlessness, which has emboldened
these groups in their opposition to the Lord’s recovery, and has meant there is little security for the
saints in this area.
There is a church in one other village in the state where these saints live (about 100 km away) and
these saints will migrate to that village. There is some land in this village that can be purchased that
will be able to accommodate these dear saints. Offerings made to Myanmar for this need will be used
for the purchase of this land, the building of houses, and to help them in their transition to establish a
new means of making a living.
