The people of Burma (Myanmar) cannot get a break!
With so much suffering in Burma already news of this devastating cyclone seems like adding insult to injury. Here at Calvary we are particularly concerned because so many of our fellow church members come from Burma. They still cannot reach many family members and are frantic with worry.
To help them try to “get up again,” we have made it possible to donate funds online, which will be made available to suffering people through denominational channels, not governmental agencies. Further, to lend your presence and support to our Burmese community here, join us for a benefit concert Saturday, May 17 at 6:00 p.m. at Calvary.
I am only beginning to understand the extent of the devastation after seeing these pictures, taken by NASA’s satellites, of the Burmese delta before and after the cyclone.
The land is simply is gone and replaced with water. The rivers have disappeared. The ocean’s color has changed; it looks like plumes of silt.
