Thank You!

Take a minute and read this Thank You from Thomas. Aquila Project's National Director in Myanmar.

Dear friends,
Greeting in from Myanmar!
I pray that you all are in the good hands of our Lord.
I don't know how to express my thank to you. How unfortunate I am that I am not able to thank you in person but have to content with email. The sacrifices that you made for us in this kind of time made us realize the goodness of God and encourages us by knowing that we have brothers and sisters in State who are standing with us as we face hardship. The fund that you sent will be used for different kind of help needed.

Firstly, some of the fund will be used to rebuild the houses of our missionaries who are working in Irrawaddy division. Most of the houses there are bamboo houses so the houses were all blown away and need to rebuild so that they can have a place to live minister to the Villager. And we will help also newly converted believers in that Village where our missionaries are working.

Secondly, some of the fund will will be used for providing food. We will buy rice from Yangon and hire car and send to the mission field.
This food will feed our missionaries and as well as the Villagers. We might not be able to feed all Villager but we will be able to feed worst needed people and those who are connected with our mission.

Thirdly, we will buy medicines and send them. And we will also buy Bibles for believers who has lost their home. Those who survive the storm has no more Bible. In Irrawaddy division there are thousands of people who are asking us for Bible. And we will use some of the fund also for rebuilding IMCP (Institute of mission and Church plantings).

Since IMCP will be opened on June 1, we have to rush and fix the building. And finally some of the fund will be food for orphans. There are more than 100 orphans that we are taking care of. So food for them is critical. The fund that you support us will save their lives. And because the support from you that we will be able to reopen IMCP and to continue our ministry.

This is such terrible time for the people of Myanmar but it is also a great time for harvest in the kingdom of God. I pray that may the Lord open their hearts toward Him. Thank you so much again for your love and concern for us and your faithfulness to the Lord by helping those who need help and feeding those who are hungry. May the Lord bless you.

In His service
Thomas
