In response to the recent earthquake that greatly devastated numerous communities across Myanmar, especially its member churches that are located near the epicenter, Mandalay, and also Taunggyi, the Olivet Assembly (OA) of Myanmar has initiated a fundraising campaign across the regional church network in support of the urgent relief efforts.
In his appeal to OA churches across Southeast Asia, Pastor Habakkuk Van of OA Myanmar expressed, “We are writing to you with heavy hearts, yet full of hope, in the wake of the recent earthquake that struck Myanmar, leaving behind great suffering and destruction. Our church leaders are living in refugee spaces temporarily, as their church spaces are urgently in need of repair for them to resume their ministry as soon as possible. As a family of faith, we humbly ask for your partnership, through prayer and financial support, which will directly impact the lives of those in urgent need and help to rebuild the house of God.”
Churches across OA Myanmar are currently mobilizing resources and encouraging believers to contribute through donations, prayers, and voluntary service. The funds raised will be used to provide essential supplies, shelter, and spiritual encouragement to affected families.
Prayers are called upon the relief efforts to reach all affected communities across Myanmar, as OA churches across Southeast Asia stand hand-in-hand with their fellow Myanmar brothers and sisters in overcoming this difficult period together.
