On Friday we finally got the chance to cross over the border from Thailand and into Burma. We went with little expectations and with a hope that God would open our eyes to see Burma the way He sees it – not as a country of people plagued by political turmoil and ethnic violence, but as a nation in need of HIs love. We have spent the past week in Mae Sot and have been learning all about the conflict in Burma first hand at the Burmese freedom fighter’s cafe and getting to meet and love on Karen refugee children at the children’s home we have been doing construction at. As I write this blog now, the Burmese elections are finishing up for the day. These were the first democratic elections in over 50 years. It has been incredible to be here and to be a part of this change over the past two weeks. Please check out my previous two blogs – All Hope Is Not Lost, and Have You Heard of Burma? for more stories and information about what has been going on here and what my team has been up to!
Enjoy the following video recap from my perspective of our day in Burma. And please keep praying for God to show Himself here in a huge way. His work is not done yet!
