Description: We are developing with our international partner base a recon team to go into Myanmar shortly. This team will join our on-ground partners to continue the assessment of the damage, and explore our national and international partnership capabilities and needs as well as inter-agency and governmental issues. Some of our on the ground partners in Myanmar have lost their homes and lives as well.

We have folks on the ground in Myanmar we are connected with, and in countries surrounding Myanmar. Due to the sensitive nature of the political environment, we do not discuss everything that we know or do. If you would like to be part of the initial recon team, contact us at once to apply. After we agree you should be a part, then immediately your passport and visa must be in place. This is no simple matter, so moving quickly is necessary.

As of today, multiple thrusts into Myanmar and China have occurred within our partnership team. These initiatives shall lead to outposts or beachheads for those who will follow through the open door. Our thrusts are multi-faceted and are accomplished by His grace alone. We must use care in describing our progress and plans, but please keep all involved in your hearts and prayers. Medicines, rice, water systems, literature, shelter, cooking utensils are a short list of items going in. Will you -

Highlights: Graphic pictures help bring the reality of the devastated lands of Myanmar into focus. However, the harsh reality of the cyclone aftermath is yet to fully descend upon the nationals, much less the rest of the world.
