Real Hope Flickers

The smile of a destitute woman, unable to feed her small children, captures the emotion of hope breaking through the despair when servants of the Lord arrive with food.

A smile breaks through when this woman was told that help is on its way.

Total desperation is rarely felt in our daily lives here in North America. Even when one region of our community is hit with a fire or terrible storm, somewhere else nearby has supplies and is readily available to provide relief. Not so in Africa. Especially not among the poorest of the poor and outcast people of the rural villages.

Remember The Poor

There is a close connection between the veracity of the gospel and a ministry to the poor. The relationship in Scripture between genuine faith and ministry to the poor is remarkable. Paul informs the church in Galatia that after the Apostles in Jerusalem had confirmed the genuineness of the gospel presented by Paul and Barnabas–The Apostles requested that they remember the poor [Gal. 2:10]. The idea was clear that if you are preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ don’t keep the message just to wealthy able-bodied people. Preach it to the poor as well. Paul expressed in that epistle to the church in Galatia that he was very eager to remember the poor. In Luke’s Gospel Jesus justified His ministry giving hope to John the Baptist by appealing to the observation of his ministry preaching the good news to the poor [Luke 7:22]. We are very eager to remember the poor when we spread the gospel too. [See the update at the bottom of the page–July 3rd]

Emergency Relief

The destroyed homes of Daw Tun Buai, U Kyaw Po, and U Jonah in Chaung Wa Village.

We received these photos from Pastor David Joy, serving in Paletwa, Myanmar on June 13. On May 30 and 31, Cyclone Mora destroyed 9 houses in Paletwa township where Pastor David and Pastor Jacob are serving by the support of White Fields. Cyclone Mora delivered widespread damage and destroyed the houses of eight church members and one pastor. The affected church members are staying in tents, with utensils and household items in short supply. Pray fervently and consider donating so they can kickstart rebuilding their homes.

Please pray for them.

The Bridge to Somewhere

I kept praying each month for a prayer request shared by Pastor Andrew Rem in his monthly reports — we need a new bridge. He ministers in the Delta region of Myanmar and every rain the flood waters rise. The houses are all built on stilts and need a bridge to get from the raised dirt berm that suffices as a single lane road over to the properties where the houses and the church building reside. Every structure in the community needs a bridge over the canal from the berm. Our White Fields partners had been praying for this need expressed by Pastor Rem for some time too. On my trip to Myanmar in December I was able to visit Pastor Rem and see the bridge.

Once There Were None

You might wonder — how do we decide where to support a new church planter? Well, that is a difficult decision. We only have a limited amount of resources, (so we can’t support everyone that is deserving), and we make a five-year commitment, so we spend lots of time on our knees asking the Lord to guide us.

Since 1953 thousands of pastors have advanced the cause of Jesus Christ through the startup support of donors like you. We are thankful the Lord would allow us to play a part in His plan and are excited to see what the Lord does in the future.
