Looking back

I had to stop posting for a number of days because of travel back to the states. The trip left a huge impact on me. I had never been to Burma before and found a people warm and eager to welcome me into their lives for a few days. The church there is incredible and thriving. The government seems to be content protecting themselves and their money while the people manage to live as best as they can. It had the lowest living cost of any country I have seen--A full dinner cost $1 USD. Money goes so far there.
I left not only with a head full of memories and a camera full of photos, but also with information to begin funding a number of projects that will help the Burmese church where it is most vulnerable. There are villages that have historically expelled Christians that now are showing signs of openness. I cant get specific on this blog, but I was very excited by what I heard. I was also able to take funds directly to the pastors and people that need it. Because of donor support we were able to buy an underground pastor in the Delta a canoe-style boat so he can reach his congregation who are dispersed throughout the islands. We bought powdered milk for Karen refugees hiding in the mountains that didnt have enough food themselves and couldnt provide milk for their nursing infants. We tons of rice to Christians in Chin State (western Burma) where the rats have eaten all the agriculture and while the government assists the Buddhists, no food is given to Christians. The list goes on, and will continue as these and other projects become something that we can take on for long-term support. For some reason I am having trouble uploading photos--I will put some up on Monday, and hopefully some video as well. Feel free to contact me at logan@persecution.org for more details--we can talk more freely on email.
