Myanmar/Burma Cyclone

  The news that keeps coming in from Myanmar gets worse by the hour.  As of this post, it is estimated that there may be 100,000 deaths from the cyclone.

  What can be done? Some have already asked if we will have a special offering to help with disaster assistance.  In some ways, we already have.  Monies from our annual One Great Hour of Sharing offering (usually taken on Palm Sunday) have already been targeted for Myanmar relief.  One of the reasons we take that offering is so that it is ready and available for times such as this. Since the organization is already in place, the money is able to move quickly and efficiently.

  If you would like to make a direct donation, or just find out more about what is being done, you can click here: PDA Myanmar Clicking on the 'Myanmar/Burma' link (upper right side) will take you where you want to go.

  Whether you make a donation or not, please keep the people of this country in your prayers. They are suffering from two disasters: The cyclone and a repressive government that is making things worse.
