MYANMAR: NATIONAL LEADERS & WORKERS
Summary
The goal of this project is to raise $1,300/month to support the 17 Church of God pastors and leaders in Myanmar amid the nation’s civil war.
Cost
The monthly project goal is $1,300.
Project # 42.30410
BACKGROUND
Beginning with a military coup in early 2021, the people of Myanmar are suffering beneath the brutal regime of the “junta”. Widespread violence, economic inflation, Covid-19 and other illnesses (specifically dengue fever and malaria) now place stress on every realm of society and make daily life increasingly challenging. Many families in the Church of God have lost their jobs, compounding the heavy burdens they bear. Amid these circumstances, the Church of God remains present and continues to bear the Light and Peace of Christ.
VISION
Financial assistance received from this project walks alongside the National Church in supporting the 17 Church of God pastors and leaders during this difficult time. This critical provision enables them to purchase food and medications for their families, as well as to continue caring for their church and community.
STRATEGY
Here are some specific ways to pray for Myanmar shared by their national leaders:
• Pray for freedom, peace, and justice in their land
• Pray for the many children who are currently not able to attend school
• Pray for the health of pastors and their families
• Pray for the hearts of Junta leaders to be softened and transformed
• Pray for protection over the Church’s gatherings
“It is difficult to say what will happen in the future, but we believe and trust in God.”

CHURCH OF GOD IN MYANMAR
There are 9 Church of God congregations throughout Myanmar.
At this time, many believers are being forced to gather in homes and online. Several families are also living at the church compound in order to continue in community together.
