Burma

In Burma now. The city is a strange mix of Asian, socialist, and 1950's style buildings. I wont be posting much as I will wait until I am out of country to put details.
Strange how the billboards are all in English. I asked about this and it makes sense: only the wealthy speak English, and no one else can afford whats being advertised.
People are genuinely surprised when they see me. I am guessing not as many Caucasians make it here as to Bangkok.
Another quirky thing is they only accept crisp, brand new US dollars. If it is wrinkled or dirty its worthless or nothing at all. I still have to figure that one out.

Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. James 1:27

This is all I could think when I read your stunning account of what you are experiencing with the Karen people. God made you for this. What a picture of God's love reaching down to His precious children through your heart and hands. I am praying daily for you.
