Urgent need in Myanmar = Shadrach Home


Praise Evangelical Church, Singapore runs a children’s Home in a small town in the mountains in Thantyan, Northern Shan State. About 30 kids, receive food, shelter, education and a Christian environment to grow. Many are orphans or from single mothers who are not able to bring up the children.


Situation


As you are probably aware that the local resistance forces are fighting the junta forces in many parts of Myanmar.  ethnic armed groups gave notice letter to the military camps located in Thantayng. Last Friday the town of Lashio, Shan State was taken over by the resistance forces after a boldly battle. 


 

Yesterday morning we were informed that the resistance forces have threatened to attack Thantayng in three days if the junta soldiers don’t surrender. People in Tantyang are in panic and many are leaving to the safe zones.

 

This morning our Coordinator, Pst John Phongsar, updated that both sides are ready for war but no guy fire is heard yet. Many civilians have left the town. 

 

All shops and schools are closed. 


Contingency Plan


While we pray for God’s intervention and protection, this is our plan to help the children:

Make relief plan for emergency that children would be fed and safe somehow during the war. We need to find a safe place in nearby village far away from Tantyang where children can be taken for temporary refuge if the war break out. 

 

  • Stock up rations and medicines. A 20kg bag of rise now cost USD 50.
  • Temporary tents for the children to stay
  • About 30 or more gallons of petrol for moving the children and things 

 

Funding

I am proposing to send them Sing$5000 for the initial plans to move the kids. If you are led to help, please contact me and I will advise you how to transfer the funds.

 

Appreciate your prayers and support for the children.

 

God bless you and family.

Devotion - Psalms 44: 6-7 - Its God who gives the victory

Psalms 44:6-7 - I put no trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory; but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame. Any soldier will know that the basic weapon of warfare, in those days, were the bow and sword. Without which no soldier will not venture into the battle field. Even the famed Goliath was geared in full battle order when he faced David with the stones and the sling. Isn't it a paradox then that David, one of the finest soldiers Israel had ever produced, proclaims that its not the bow and the sword that gives the victory. Its is the Lord, Jehovah, that gives the victory. I don't think David is trying to say that we should not prepare ourselves for warfare. His concern is that we recognize that ultimately its the Lord that gives the victory. A few things we need to remember: Human efforts are necessary in the God-man partnership Human efforts alone does not guarantee God intended results Recognize that its God that always gives u

What a trip to Nepal

Image
I am sitting at the airport restaurant in Kathmandu, checked in and waiting for my departure to New Delhi and from there, onward to Singapore.  Just sipping and enjoying the Americano coffee and a slice of cheese cake as I reminiscent my last nine days in Nepal. It has been a incredibly tough trip but one filled with joy, great satisfaction and challenges. Tough because of the bad roads, tracks and mountain trekking that really tested my endurance and my back was sore.  Couple of knocks on the head as the vehicle danced to the tune of the undulating terrain. Days when I had terrible diarrhoea, running from one mountain toilet to another. Thank God I had Dr Mike Ong on this trip who is a medical doctor from Singapore, who attended to my condition. Times when we had to sleep on the cold floor with thin sheets of cloth, with rodents in the vicinity. Temperatures dropped to a low of 10-12 degrees centigrde in the nights. Eating the food offered by the villagers as we were up in the mounta

Fare-thee-well my friend, Rev James Ng - A tribute

Image
I t was with deep sadness that we bade farewell to another of God's General, Rev James Ng. But we don't grieve like the rest of the world because of the hope we have in Christ Jesus. We will meet him soon at the Master's feet. To me , he was more than a friend. A true brother in Christ. He was one of the pillars of our Missions work in Asia. A true missionary, teacher, philantrophist and servant with a devoted passion for His Master.  I met James in 2010, when he attended the Haggai Area Seminar, held in RELC. He was introduced to me by our dear friend, Sis Doreen Lim and her husband Dr Lim. Thereafter we became good friends and he became acquainted with our mission work. He was a regular on many of those trips. He preached and taught the Word to many church planters and congregations. It was not easy for him, with all his medical conditions. There were times when we had to travel long hours on the road, up the mountains, down the valleys, cross rivers, and stay in uncomfor
