Aiding Myanmar

Last month's cyclone caused widespread devastation in Myanmar. News reports have chronicled the difficulty of getting aid to those who need it. But thanks to the World Reformed Fellowship, we now have a way to directly aid Christians in Myanmar.


In a recent letter, Rev. Robert Luai, General Secretary of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Myanmar, reported that their Bible College and 13 churches were damaged as well as many church members' homes. Over a hundred people fled to the campus of the Bible College for refuge and a daughter church set up a a refuge camp for about two hundred more. At the time of his letter, Rev. Luai was unsure of the number dead or injured but he commented, "One thing, because of many dead, thousands of children automatically become orphans. I do not know what we are going to do." If you want to help bear the burden of our brothers in Myanmar, you can donated money through the World Reformed Fellowship which has established a secure way to transfer funds to the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Myanmar. Instructions for contributing can be found here.


Tenth joined the WRF last fall. It's an organization affiliated with the PCA and "formed to encourage understanding and cooperation among evangelical Presbyterian and Reformed denominations and institutions, and to link those institutions having ministry resources with those possessing vision but few resources."
