A friend and I here in Chiang Rai are praying about taking a group up to Burma for earthquake relief work on our weekend off, not this weekend but the next. She is a nurse and had an idea to bring medical supplies and administer basic medication to the people in Burma who are suffering injuries from the earthquake that occurred a few days ago. We're planning on meeting with some Christians who run a local coffee shop to see if they would pray about seeing if this is a possibility, and possibly joining us. There are lots of things to consider: 1. How are we going to get money for medical supplies? 2. How are we going to get the supplies to the people? 3. Would we be able to go into Burma ourselves, or would we be prevented by Burmese government? 4. Would some Burmese people here in Thailand be willing to go with us as translators? 5. What direction is the Lord leading us to go? 6. Who all would be able/willing to join us?
The Burmese border is only an hour's drive from here, and it just makes sense that some of us would go to help as we are so close and able to provide at least some relief for those suffering just across the border. Please be praying for the Lord's direction in this, as the Burmese government isn't the most welcoming. But, if the Lord is in this, we trust that He will direct us and protect us along the way. Please pray for clarity for all of us involved as we meet together about it tomorrow.
