Thai Refugee Camp Burns

Easter is here! A time to remember the sacrifice that Jesus made and the hope his resurrection brings. It’s a time where Christians all around the world commemorate the crucifixion and live in the resurrection power of the Son of God.

Today we can demonstrate the hope of new life to people in great need. Two nights ago Charlie Milbrodt, our missionary partner in Thailand placed an emergency call saying, “As of today there are 2,000 houses destroyed with total loss, 37 dead and others still missing, over 3,000 people living under the stars waiting for relief help.





This terrible tragedy has happened to Karen refugees in Mae Surin Camp on the Burmese border. A wildfire, possibly intentionally set, razed every bamboo home to the ground. Thousands of Karen refugees who escaped persecution faced in Burma are now living out in the open with nothing to call their own.

A ranking government official, who graduated from Charlie’s bible school over 20 years ago, has opened the door for ministry teams to come and help the refugees in this military restricted area. Food and plastic tarping is on the way, but cooking supplies, kitchen utensils, and simple shoes are some of the items most desperately needed.

Your gift today of £16.50 will provide these relief supplies to five refugees; £33will give ten Karen refugees the items they need to feed their families.

As we rejoice this weekend in the hope of new life in a risen Saviour, take action to spread his message of hope to these families suffering such great loss. As ministry teams deliver food, water, and the supplies they need to keep their loved ones alive, they will be doing so in Jesus name… listening and praying with the Karen, encouraging them and ‘being there’ as a shoulder to cry on.
