As cyclone disaster-relief efforts continue in Burma (Myanmar), Sovereign Grace Ministries has the opportunity to provide assistance through our relationship with a local group of churches in that country. This ministry includes more than 40 churches, six of which are located in the hardest-hit areas of Burma.
Since the cyclone, we have established a Burma Disaster Relief fund and are contributing financially toward aid efforts in that country. Thanks to the giving of members and friends of Sovereign Grace churches, $50,000 of aid is already being distributed and we are preparing to send another $50,000. People from the churches we support have traveled to the devastated Delta region to distribute aid in many villages, including some where no aid had yet reached. Drinking water and more than 40 tons of rice have been distributed to more than 10,000 people. Those who are providing aid have also had opportunities to preach the gospel.
The need for aid in Burma continues. In addition to providing immediate relief to churches and their communities, we hope to assist with rebuilding efforts in the future. Many families will need new homes, and many churches will need new places to meet.
