Daniel and Carla

  • Hi everyone,

    About 20 hours ago, if you have been connected to global news, you already know that a 7.7M earthquake struck Myanmar about 20 hours ago. Tremors and effects of the seismec event reached all the way to Bangkok and beyond, with considerable impact to structures in Bangkok.

    A quick update for you all:

    • We are safe. Although we're 300 km closer to the epicenter than Bangkok, seismic activity doesn't always travel the way you'd expect. No one in our city reported any unusual feelings or observations; however some reports from villages near the project's farm say that there were termors felt out there.

    • Myanmar reports at least 144 fatalities already from the quake, with certainly many more injured. Please pray for the people suffering there and that those of the Body in-country may be resourced to respond to the needs to show our Father's mercy and love in practical ways.

    • Chiang Mai, Thailand (which borders Myanmar) reported 3.3 M tremors in the region, with felt effects but no reported significant damage or casualties. Colleagues of our who live in the greater Bangkok Region have reported damage to their apartments and to their workplaces (source: The Thaiger News)

    • Significant impacts of the quake were felt. At least 6 people have died in structural failures already with countless more injuries. Former colleagues of ours in Bangkok have mentioned damage to their apartments & workplaces also. A high level of anxiety has blanketed the Greater Bangkok Area, given the significance of the tremors & the uncertainty around structural damage—there are hundreds of high-rises that may have been built without factoring in earthquake events.

    Please, in your prayers, lift up those in Myanmar, in Bangkok, and in other areas significantly impacted by this natural disaster. We hope and pray that local believers rise to the occasion and demonstrate practical evidence of God's love to the communities and families impacted.

    Thank you for your concerns and your partnership,

Daniel在他能記得之前就認識了耶穌並跟隨祂。在他的祈禱中很常會說，“我會為禰做任何事，上帝，只要不是宣教”，直到他在聖經營服務時，放棄了最後一句話。 10個月之後，他在一個他幾乎沒有聽聞過的國家擔任起教學宣教士。那次的經歷改變了Daniel的觀點，使他變得非平凡了。

Carla从妈妈那里认识耶稣，她相信跟随上帝是好的。大学期间，一位美国老师向她解释了福音的意义，使Carla热切地接受了耶稣。毕业后，她发现自己所在领域的成就是多么的短暂，因此，Carla决心转移到为永恒国度去作工。Carla看到了她与其他人同行的呼召，并参与转化迷失的灵魂，使他们重新归向耶稣。
