FBR REPORT: Global
Day of Prayer for Burma 2008, a Report
21 March, 2008
Note: This Day of Prayer for Burma message is from Christians
Concerned for Burma.
Dear Friends,
Thank you for all who prayed for the people of Burma on the Global Day of Prayer
for Burma. We believe in the power of God through prayer, that changes our lives
and can change nations. We are thankful for God's love and the light of reconciliation
and hope that shines in the darkness.
On March 9, 2008, people all over the world prayed for Burma on this the 11th
year of this global day of prayer. From the cities of Japan to the mountains
of Alaska, from the beaches of Thailand to the fjords of Norway, from the fields
of South Africa to the plains of Europe, from the jungles of South America to
the Pacific Islands; believers asked for God to intervene in Burma.
The photographs in this message were taken at a prayer service inside Burma.
Here a team comprised of the Karen Youth Organization, Partners, Free Burma
Rangers, and Christians Concerned for Burma prayed with Christian and Buddhists
in a Buddhist village in the Karen State on March 8 and 9, 2008. A midnight
candle light prayer service was held on the night of the 8th, followed by prayer
on the morning of the 9th. After this, a Good Life Club program was held to
encourage and assist the children and families here.

The Free Burma Ranger’s (FBR) mission is to provide hope, help and
love to internally displaced people inside Burma, regardless of ethnicity
or religion. Using a network of indigenous field teams, FBR reports on human
rights abuses, casualties and the humanitarian needs of people who are under
the oppression of the Burma Army. FBR provides medical, spiritual and educational
resources for IDP communities as they struggle to survive Burmese military
attacks.
