Myanmar/Burma Relief

Hey Everyone,

Here is some info on the Myanmar crisis. This group does a really good job getting their aid to the right places immediately because they work through the Baptist groups already in country. They're all local people. Below is more info. Think about posting at the very least so we can help spread the word about the needs in Myanmar. Here is some info:

MYANMAR UPDATE: Click here for info on the Myanmar/Burma disaster. Please click here to give to the Myanmar relief fund.

Basically, the Baptist World Alliance (BWA) already has people in country because they work through local Baptists. The article covers more. An outside assessment team is waiting for visas like everyone else but it appears they've already made contact with local Baptists. It is likely your aid will get to those people quickly...at least it is likely to arrive before the massive international aid makes it into country. Also, start posting a couple of these things to your blogs if you can so we can spread the word.
