We went to this village today that is about an hour and a half from Yangon. It is not in the Irrawaddy delta, but our UN Aids contact tipped us about the great needs in the area. It rained very hard, yet they came.
There is always a ceremony that they insist upon when we deliver gifts to the people, as you see from this handover ceremony to the burmese monk.
On the way back, we passed a new route to escape the traffic, and we found this village where virtually no help has arrived. We will be going tomorrow with tarps and food (300 to 500 bags) in an attempt to start a mission work there (pictures). By the way, two Filipinos who will relieve me arrived this morning, and I quickly put them to work. We have been looking for a place to help out with housing materials, so we ask you to pray with us for God's confirmation.
Our meeting this evening ended at 9:30pm. This is late by Burmese standards. I try my best not to dictate or lead the meetings. I always tell them that this is a Burmese church project, and i am there just to oversee them. I am so blessed to see how the brethren are growing in leadership daily.
Below are just some of the faces from today's giving. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. Please continue to pray for the daily relief efforts and for the families who are being affected.
Your brother in Christ,

Chito,
Thanks so much for being our eyes and feet in Myanmar. I appreciate your love for the lost and hurting there and wish you and the other Filipinos with MARCH safety and success in spreading the Word and hope to all there.
My love to your family too (met your wife & daughter at the Natl. Ladies retreat in Baguio last year.)
May God continue to bless your efforts for MARCH thru out the Far East!!!
Love in Christ,
