From the Council of Hope PRC (Grand Rapids, MI): As you
know from news reports in this past week, a devastating cyclone has struck the
country of Myanmar. The Yangon congregation of the Protestant
Reformed Churches of Myanmar was hit particularly hard. While no
members were seriously injured, three families had their homes destroyed
and Rev. Titus, our contact in the PRCM, had his home damaged. The
conditions in Myanmar at present are very difficult, with no electricity,
widespread destruction, as well as food and water shortages. The Hope
Council, using a special fund created to help the saints in Myanmar, sent
emergency aid to the PRCM this past week and is keeping in close contact
with Rev. Titus to determine how much more help will have to be sent as the
situation unfolds. We commit the needs of the saints in Myanmar to our
Heavenly Father who works all things according to His perfect will.
