 A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake has struck Myanmar, with its epicentre in Mandalay—the nation’s ancient Buddhist high place. The violent tremors sent shockwaves through the city, toppling religious buildings and damaging monasteries.Praise God, all of our staff and new believers in Yangon are safe, though the ground shook for an intense three minutes. As buildings swayed and walls creaked, our team quickly evacuated outside, watching the earth tremble beneath them. This earthquake only deepens the devastation Myanmar is already facing. As the nation struggles with rolling power blackouts, an intensifying civil war, economic collapse, surging drug wars, soaring crime rates, and worsening food insecurity, this latest disaster adds to the suffering. Yet in the midst of it all, we hold onto the hope found in Christ and stand ready to support those in need.

Our Staff Are On The Ground In Hard-Hit Areas
In response to Friday’s devastating earthquake, we have mobilized our local staff across the hardest-hit areas, delivering urgent care and support to those in desperate need. In these areas, buildings lie in ruins, roads are impassable, and countless families are left without shelter, food, or medical care. The situation is critical, and we are working tirelessly to reach survivors, provide emergency aid, and bring hope in the midst of this devastation.
Earthquake Relief Packs
To help those affected, we are distributing urgent relief packages to support families in crisis. Each package, costing $100, includes:
Mosquito net and sleeping mats for protection and rest
Emergency food & a cooking stove, as families have no way to prepare meals
Clean drinking water to prevent dehydration and disease
Solar power banks, as electricity remains unavailable across the cities
These life-saving supplies are critical for survival as communities struggle to recover from the devastation. Thank you for your prayers and support during this difficult time for the nation.
