Yeah. What country is referenced below?
“UN employees reported that over 3,300 villages have been burned to the ground,” says Klein. “It’s surpassing what happened in Rwanda and Darfur, and yet nobody seems to notice.”
Despite the nearly unprecedented conditions, the Word of God continues to permeate through the region.

Klein says the Lord is in fact using this time to draw many away from witchcraft and animism and toward Christ.
“Even in the midst of [so many] horrific things going on, the Gospel is going forth, and many people are coming to faith in Jesus Christ.”
Klein is excited that the Gospel is moving forth, but he urges the Christian world to do something for their suffering and ignored brothers and sisters.

Then remember to pray for these folks and those who minister to them.
We’ve followed the plight of the Karen tribe of Burma for many years. If memory serves, Baptist missionary Adoniram Judson was the first to bring the gospel to the blood-thirsty Burmese. The Karen are his “spiritual children.”
May God be their strength, and glorify Himself in and through them — whether by their lives or their deaths.
And may we, in this land of abundance and freedom, be reminded again of how easy we have it here…and use our time, opportunities and resources to serve Jesus.
