Imperilled Christian minorities facing genocide in northern Myanmar
From Barnabas Fund.
In a home in North London in the 1970s a very gentle Baptist leader, a Karen from the north of Burma (now Myanmar), shared what was happening to the Christian community there. The stories he told were hard to believe because they were so horrifying, but his clarity and detail confirmed that they were utterly real. He spoke of Christian children being herded into the jungle by Burmese troops to be used as minesweepers; every time an explosion occurred, another child died. The suffering of the Christians was unknown, their stories untold, their voices unheard and their cry unheeded. Yet, there was no anger or hatred in this Christian leader. Rather, he spoke of the faith and courage of the Christian community, who wanted to maintain their faith, to live freely and to serve the Lord Jesus Christ…
…The plight of these faithful Christians must not go unheeded. Can you pray for our courageous brothers and sisters? Can you write to your MP and raise the concerns for the safety of these imperilled Christian minority peoples? Can you be a part of making this situation known?
