Burmese Army Attacks Near Orphanage
Today the Burmese Army began attacking Karen villages just inside Burma, right across the river from the orphanage we've been in.
Over 1,000 people have fled across the river into the village where the orphanage is. The Thai Army is holding back the Burmese from coming into Thailand, but nevertheless, landmines are being detonated and rockets shot. We are safe, so don't worry.
We're assessing the greatest need right now because there are many displaced people who have fled the fighting to get to safety just across the river into Thailand. We are going to buy rice and hopefully shelter materials for as many of the displaced Karen people as possible. If you'd like to donate towards this, please send me a message, and I'll let you know how you can do this. No one is hurt in the orphanage, and the Burmese army has not crossed into Thailand and most likely won't.
But still we feel the need to step in and help those who have been forced from their homes. Pray for these people. We know that God has a solution for this many-decade conflict.
Thanks,
Adam
