Please be in prayer for HealthCare Ministries as we prepare
for a disaster assessment team to Myanmar where at least 78,000 lives
were lost from Cyclone Nargis. We have
received word from the field office that at least 17 A/G churches have been
destroyed and that several A/G families have lost their homes. At least 50 churches are expected to have
been destroyed in the isolated areas, and as many as 100,000 are estimated to
have lost their lives after the 12-foot tidal surge struck the coast on May 3. Because of the devastation, communication has
been difficult, resulting in such a broad range of estimated loss.

HCM's disaster assessment team will arrive Friday to work
with leaders on relief planning and water purification. The
Myanmar Assemblies of God has been aiding in the relief effort for their
churches. Please be in prayer for these
relief efforts as well as the countless lives that have been affected by this disaster.
