Amidst the destruction and continuing fallout from Cyclone Nargis there is a tremendous need not only for support (if you’re looking for a place to give, try International Aid) but news.

One of our gospel.com community members is Mission Network News, which is a news outlet that offers a missions-focused take on the news. From their about page:

Mission Network News is a mission news service dedicated to keeping Christians informed on evangelical mission activity around the world; in doing so we hope to educate and motivate Christians to prayer, participation, and support of missionary work to help further the Great Commission.

They’re currently covering the Cyclone Nargis catastrophe and have been updating as much as possible. You can read all of their Hurricane related articles here.

From their report today called Ministry encourages churches in Myanmar response:

Global Advance’s David Shibley notes one prospect: “The government is being resistant to aid. However, this does give opportunity for some mission groups that are already on the ground there to be very significantly used.” There are some agencies with projects in the hard-hit areas that will be able to make use of an already-established distribution network.
