FLOODING IN KACHIN
STATE MYANMAR
Over 2 Million Displaced People, Summer 2024
Myanmar is a land of rivers, and the 2024 rainy season has caused riverbanks to overflow. Many families have lost their homes, and even their livelihoods.
​
Jesus Foot Soldiers in the flood areas have been working tirelessly with victim rescue, helping set up temporary shelter, and the distribution of food and clean water, over 2 million displaced people.​​​​
​
For over 70 years conflict between pro-democracy forces and a military dictatorship has torn the country of Myanmar apart. For the last four years the military has waged all-out war on local, ethnic armies with no regard for the civilian population. Thousands of families have had to flee their homes and livelihoods due to bombing, arson, and all-out assault. They are hiding in the forests or making their way to a refugee camp.​​​​​​​​​​​

Jesus Foot Soldiers help with food distribution
Thanks to our partners, Asia Frontier Outreach has sent $17,000 this year for aid to victims of floods
and war. Pastor Lu and sons make regular trips to the Thai/Myanmar border to bring food, water, medical supplies, and tarps for temporary shelter to Burmese refugees. They team with the local Jesus Foot Soldiers to distribute the supplies, while sharing the love and hope found in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
YOUTH OUTREACH IN MALAYSIA
Due to civil war and enforced conscription of young men and women into the Burmese military, thousands of young people are fleeing to neighboring countries. Once in a new country and culture, and the uncertainty of being able to return home, has resulted in their experiencing trauma.
​
In May, Pastor Lu and family were invited to Malaysia to conduct an outreach to these Burmese young adults. Over 1400 young men and women attended the 3 day conference. Many were drawn to the meeting to hear the popular Myanmar band, Iron Cross. More than 500 young adults made decisions to follow Jesus.
