The sounds of Myanmar:
Bells ringing as the Buddhist celebrate another traditional holiday
Government officials telling locals to stay away from foreigners (esp. Americans)
Cyclone Nargis survivors hunger pains
A child’s scream as another is taken to become a child soldier
Fear of man in the sound of silence
A mother’s broken heart shatters as she sees no future for her family
On October 28th, I and four others crossed into the country of Myanmar on pioneering mission to find ways to bring the Kingdom in such a closed country. Half of our time was in the Delta Region and the other in the north. It was there that I began to see human life at a stand still. It was also there that I saw joy in the midst of despair.
I want to start and share my story with you. I saw what most people may never see and went to places media is not allowed to go. It was a journey that leads me to believe and to hear the sound that stood out above all:
PRAISES TO OUR KING.
