After having spent a month in Thailand and Burma, the Lord has allowed us to have been exposed to a situation that is quite possibly one of the most unjust and hate-filled conflicts of our time, certainly ranking high on the list along with the Cambodian Pol-Pot regime in the 1990s, and the Nazi Holocaust of the 1930s and 1940s.
TBBC (Thai-Burma Border Consortium) have earlier reported that an increased number of people have fled to Thailand, following several days of shelling and fighting between armed groups in Karen state, Burma. A majority of the people who have fled to Thailand, mostly women and children, were residents of Ler Per Her IDP camp in Karen State. New arrivals are located in Tha Song Yang District, north of Mae Sot.
During the past few weeks of being here in Thailand and Burma and being directly involved in helping the Karen people who have been experiencing the ruthlessness and of a military regime for decades, it has been very eye-opening. Unfortunately, very few people are aware of the genocide and injustice that is happening in Burma. And those that are aware seem somewhat powerless to do much to change the situation because of the iron-fisted, totalitarian power that the Burmese Junta Regime wields.

Today was our first full day in Thailand...after nearly 30 hours of travel time, Jackie and I connected with Olé and two others from Norway to spend time with some Burmese (Karen) believers today.
Today we had our last outreach which was kind of sad for me...we did a big cookout for Shasta Lake City community, and there was a guy there named Kyle (high school age) whose arm was half as long as it should be.

Here's some of the healings that happened in Antioch:
We just got back from Antioch, and it was an absolute blast.
Today's outreach was wonderful. I love Jesus so much. I have an amazing team of 1st year students who are walking in so much Holy Spirit stuff.
