Presentation transcript:

Christians are targeted by Buddhist extremists and the military. THE #24 PLACE WHERE CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IS WORST Myanmar is in the midst of the world’s longest-running civil war (1948 – present). Christians are targeted by Buddhist extremists and the military. More than 100,000 Christians live in IDP camps (camps for Internally Displaced Persons) and are denied access to aid, food, water and medicine. Buddhist monks even raid churches and build shrines inside.

PRAY FOR OUR PERSECUTED FAMILY Pray that Burmese* Christians will be able to help rebuild the country and see an end to the civil war. Pray that the Burmese* Church will reach Buddhists with the Gospel whilst it is still allowed to convert to Christianity. Pray for wisdom, strategies and resources for the Burmese* Church to help suffering Muslim Rohingya’s and lead them to Christ. *Myanmar – previously known as Burma
