Twists in Myanmar’s Battle

While news has focused on the Israel-Gaza conflict, Myanmar’s horrific civil war has taken a turn. Various ethnic and other resistance forces have banded together and are actually gaining ground in their fight against the nation’s brutal military regime which has attacked, burned and murdered thousands of civilians since overthrowing the elected government in 2021. In fact, the military has lost several of their main bases, hundreds of outposts and strongpoints, and even four border crossings with China.

But the increased fervor in fighting has taken its toll. Nearly 335,000 civilians have been displaced, bringing the total to around 2-3 million nationwide. Many thousands of those caught up in the crossfire are Christian families. See this plea for prayer from a Chin believer:

For more information on the conflict in Burma and how Christians there have been affected, including links to real-time video footage by Christians on the frontlines of rescuing the wounded and displaced, please see our November 20 post:

Myanmar’s Battle with Evil

Lord, please give the people of Burma courage, hope and especially new LIFE. So many thousands have died without ever hearing Your good news. Please make the way for every person to receive the Word that brings life before it’s too late. Have mercy on those who are displaced, wounded and battle-weary. Provide food, water and shelter for those in need, and protect them from further attacks. O Merciful Father, so many lives have been lost, so many orphans and widows made already in this war. Please protect the innocent. Be a Shield around those in danger. Get them to safety and provide for all their needs. Protect Christians who are aiding those in need, and empower them to share Your Good News and shine Your love to the lost. Please, Lord, make a way for the violence to end soon, and for the people of Myanmar to at last live in peace. Awaken every heart to You. So many evil acts have been committed in this war. Please break the chains that bind evil-doers to demons of lust, cruelty, death and violence. Set them free to hunger for Your love instead. Lift the veil from their eyes so they can see You as You truly are. Visit them in their dreams, talk to them throughout the day. Destroy the darkness with Your light. Assign Your angel armies to guard the innocent and block evil attacks. Make those angels visible to those who seek to carry out Satan’s purposes, and bring evildoers to their knees in fear of the Lord. And please, Father, make a way for every person in Myanmar to hear of Your great love in their native languages, especially among the 52 unreached people groups. Don’t let even one more person die without knowing the good news of Your salvation. Awaken all of Myanmar to You, O God. For only in You will they know true freedom. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
