Dear all

Following the recent devastating cyclone which hit Myanmar (Burma) we have received countless e-mails, calls from many of you requesting more information and asking how you can get involved and help the Burmese people, especially as we have a Burmese congregation here at PCC.

Our Burmese Pastor Zaw is one of those, who though miles away from his family in Myanmaris suffering the effects of this disaster. Right now he has no way of making contact with his family to even know if they are alive. They live in Yangon, the city which was worst hit.

As a result Pastor Brian is sending Pastor Zaw to Myanmar as soon as possible to assess the situation. Please pray that it will be possible for Pastor Brian to enter the country as well. If not possible we know that Zaw will definitely be able to enter to find his family, the relatives of our Burmese congregation here and to establish what the needs are.

We have learnt from the Tsunami that much money was given to Thailand and yet very little of the International aid received actually reached those who desperately needed it. Our desire is to see the support for Myanmar reach those who need it, so all relief efforts to Myanmar will be co-ordinated through PCC Burmese Church.

Many of you have been largely responsible for the huge impact Phuket Christian Centre has been able to make in Thailand following the Tsunami. You have seen the difference your contributions have made and the favour, especially in Government, which God has poured out on us in this nation.

For those of you who have already offered your support and those of you would like to, it is with gratitude that we accept it. By God's grace this will be an open door not just to immediate rebuilding in Myanmar but to a lasting influence of God's people into a hurting nation.
