Myanmar | Pastor Timothy Reports on Fire relief efforts

Pastor Timothy has recently reported as follows concerning the Advent Christian Conference of Myanmar’s efforts to bring relief to the hundreds of people affected when fire raced through 339 houses in the village in which he ministers on 6 February.

ACGC forwarded US$3,000 and ACMissioNZ forwarded NZ$2,000 immediately after word was received of the fire to assist with relief efforts – these amounts bought a total of 3,635,000 kyats (the Myanmar unit of currency.)

Please continue to keep our AC leaders and church members and those affected by the fire in your prayers. There is still much to be done for those who suffer.

Bros K,D, and me discussed about relief yesterday. My Church leaders discussed about relief for suffering people last Sunday. My Church provides food to suffering people 4 times per week.

ACCM is making uniform T shirts for relief workers. We will start two houses and two wells (for believers) in this week.

And next week we (me, K, D & Church leaders) will go to fire place and will help suffering people.

Suffering people (more than 400 families) are staying in 4 halls, for one hall 100 families, so this situation is very bad. Most are effected their health, have no good rest and have no good sleep .We will need your continue prayer help. Don H’s group visited to my orphan place last week and the authorities gave us some problems because my place is very near from fire and they are very strict for foreigners. But I know our heavenly Father is greater than all other things and gods.

Please pray for myself when I am leading this good work.

Official T shirt is not yet finished. But we are working some for suffering people. We bought two small lands (30×20) feet and (25×12) feet for believers and started to build houses.

We will dig one well today. We will help all suffering families in this coming Friday with D & K. Two believer families are staying at my pig farm now. They will move when we finish their houses.

Pictures are…

I will send you picture one by one depend on finish works.
Please pray for me and my wife especially for our health.

Thanks for you and supporters.

We have many words of thanks to you and all of donors in US & NZ for suffering people in my area.

So D and my leaders & Youth group are working together for suffering people.

We work in 3 ways…

1. For renting house families (80 pairs shoes, 3 wells, 2 lands & 3 houses).
2. For land owner families    (School fee with some fruits for students (100 students), 13 families for house,  one house per ks100,000 (13×100000= 1,300,000 through authorities).
3. For all suffering families (Rice 15 bags ).

Our total cost is ks 3,890,000. Now we are in empty hands.

Their emergency need is water wells. My Gov. supported them only ks 2,600,000 for houses till today. You will see their need in pictures (with our T shirts).

We (ACCM) have a certificate of honor from authorities.

Thank you again for your prayer and help.
