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.
