As I was watching the news this morning I found myself praying over these two situations and wanted to make possibilities for help known.
In Burma the UN says that 2.5 million people have been affected by the cyclone--the dead line river banks (one reported lost count after 107 bodies) and in another area 20 people are living in one tiny house. The government of Myanmar has blocked foreign aid, but UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) is working with Church World Service on relief efforts and has established the following Advance number for the Myanmar emergency: Advance #3019674.
China's government is now saying that 50,000 people may have died in the recent earthquake. Even 76 hours after the quake, survivors are still being found. UMCOR Advance No. 982450 can help with recovery efforts.
Even if you cannot donate, please keep all God's children in your prayers.
