How You Can Make a Difference in the World
1. Pray for Myanmar
Many Americans wish to help those in need by sending money. Money is important. But many of Myanmar’s problems are God-sized matters of the heart that money alone can’t address. Sins like hatred, pride, unforgiveness, idolatry, and greed have crippled the country for decades. Without experiencing a change of heart, those receiving money alone will never experience the fullness of life that Jesus promised. Please pray for the people of Myanmar, that many lives may be transformed by the gospel of grace extended to all through Jesus Christ.

2. Do some research
Read up on current events happening in this part of the world. While the recent earthquake briefly focused attention on Myanmar, the Western news cycle has already moved on, forgetting that recovery efforts will take years. Allow yourself to feel what life might be like for those touched by war or natural disaster. Ask God to show you how you might use this information to serve those living in Myanmar, or even here in America where many Burmese refugees have fled. God can surprise you by knitting your hearts to a people group you never suspected you would love. It has happened to us, and it can happen to you.
