This week's persecuted church: Myanmar
Please continue to pray for the Karen people in Burma. The ethnic group, 60 percent of whom are Christian, continues to be targeted by the country's military. Vision Beyond Borders reports, "Villages are being surrounded, and rockets are lobbed in. The Myanmar regime then goes in with machine guns and mows down whoever is still alive, and then the evidence is burned. There are reports they're also blockading villages so the people can't go out and get food; it is also reported that women are being raped and men are being set on fire while they're alive. And, they're actually poisoning the water supplies now."

I feel sick and haven't slept in a couple of days. Remember me in your prayers. It begins.

Thought of the Day: Mongolia
Song of the Day: Marcela Dandara-Dame Tus Ojos
