Dear
Partners & Friends,
Thank
you for your prayers and concern for our workers
in Myanmar. We appreciate your phone calls and
e-mails.
This
morning we were very distressed to learn that
the number of dead is so high in Myanmar. As
we were preparing for the worse news we received
an e-mail from Rev. Ca Hngak that they were
"saved by the grace of God". All of
the RTW staff, workers and students have survived
the disaster and are OK. We know this is a miracle
and we rejoice and thank God for their divine
protection and safety.
Rev.
Ca Hngak has told us that many of their homes
are destroyed and the church and headquarters
are damaged. We are raising the funds to help
them rebuild and survive these difficult times.
100% of funds given will go directly to aid
our people in Myanmar.
Pray
that things in Myanmar will change for the better.
Now that the whole world is looking at Myanmar
we are believing for a positive change for the
people. Continue to pray for our staff and workers
as they rebuild their lives and as they witness
and help those around them.
We
continue to pray and believe God for many great
testimonies to come from this terrible and difficult
time. Thank you for standing with us in this
ministry.
In
His Service,
Roger
and Mary King

Dear
Partners and Friends,
This
is an emergency newsletter concerning Myanmar. We have received devastating news that Yangon
the capitol of Myanmar has been hit by a cyclone
on Saturday May 3. Reports have been coming in that 10,000 have
died and the whole area is badly damaged. We
have been working in Myanmar for 21 years and
have established a number of churches, 1 bible
school and help 2 others and have a children’s
home with around 40 children there.
Reaching
the World has it’s headquarters in Yangon and
we are deeply concerned about our workers and
students there.
We have not been in contact with them
since all phones and internet are down at the
moment. Our Director Rev. Ca Hngak is based in Yangon
along with the main church and bible school. The buildings are very fragile and basic and we do not hold out
much hope that they have withstood the 120 mph
winds. We pray for the protection and safety of our staff and friends.
We
urgently ask for your prayers.
We also need to raise additional funds
to help our people in Myanmar.
We have a strong successful work in Myanmar
and we will rebuild and care for our people
who have tirelessly worked for the Lord.
The
children’s home is in Shan State and is not
affected by the cyclone. But the problem is
that they will not be able to receive funds
from headquarters which will cause hardship
for them and the cost of rice and food have
gone up excessively since the cyclone.
Thank you for standing with us and for your
help in coming to the aid of RTW in Myanmar. We will keep you updated about our workers
and students caught up in this disaster as we
receive information.
