From Ron Thomas May 7, 2008
Myanmar (Burma)

The news of the devastating cyclone that hit Myanmar is continually being updated to reflect the escalating numbers of deaths and displaced victims. At the time of this writing the loss of life had been posted as exceeding 20,000. We have made attempts to contact our church and conference leaders. Through the efforts by our offices and the effort of our mission in India, we have not yet been able to reach anyone that can give us a report on our Advent Christian brothers and sisters; however, we have decided to immediately release $5,000.00 from our emergency relief fund to be applied to the rescue and relief efforts under the direction of World Vision International. As we have done in the past, we invite anyone who can contribute to this effort to do so. Checks should be made out to ACGC, designated for Myanmar. You can send your gift to us, at P.O. Box 690848, Charlotte, NC 28227, and we will forward it on to World Vision. At the same time, if we are able to establish reliable contacts with our people in Myanmar and are able to insure a secure way of providing assistance, we will do so. The need is immediate! Two million have been affected by the storm. World Vision has worked in the country for 40 years and has launched a full-scale response. They have proven themselves to be a dependable partner in ministry, and they are best suited to deliver the desperately needed services and support. For an update on their work, click on Cyclone Nargis kills thousands; World Vision responding. Thank you again for your compassionate response to this appeal for help.

IF Update May 7, 2008
Have you checked your email today? After I spend some time in the Word of God, I usually click on my email account and begin to read my messages. If you are like me, some messages are immediately deleted and some are worth reading, but require little or no action. Then, there are some messages that demand my careful consideration. In comparison with all of the emails I receive on a daily basis, the important ones are few. These are the ones that I must give my undivided attention.

In the same way that I receive email, it became clear to me recently that I also receive pmail (messages that come through prayer) that are extremely important. In fact, they are much more important than my email.

Missions Update May 7, 2008
FROM THE WORLD OUTREACH DIRECTOR

Greetings, fellow servants of Jesus Christ. God has a large and wonderful family! Recently I was able to travel to New England and experience a sample of that family, many of whom are good friends and relatives. Together we were reminded that it is important we devote ourselves and resources to the kingdom. God is gathering his family together from every tribe, nation and people, and the kingdom is made up of neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female . . . all of us one in Christ. We are looking forward to a "blessed hope," the return of Jesus Christ.

SAVING WHILE SURFING 
Back in September of 2007, we introduced GoodSearch.com through our weekly e-news letter. GoodSearch.com is a new search engine that donates half its revenue, about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate. Since the beginning to May 1, 2008, ACGC has received $247.90. We want to encourage more to use this search engine, as the benefits could only increase for our denomination. It costs you nothing and it costs us nothing. But it pays all of us to use this service. You use it just as you would any search engine, and it's powered by Yahoo!, so you get great results. Just go to www.goodsearch.com and be sure to enter Advent Christian General Conference as the charity you want to support. You can add GoodSearch.com as a toolbar on your computer or you can attach it as a foot note on your e-mails. Please help us share with others the benefits of this resource.
