Mission Network News reports on the success that Gospel For Asia has had in aiding after the Myanmar catastrophe. Read all about it here.

GFA’s good reputation in the country has gained them several privileges. While many international media sources have reported that aid has been diverted, GFA has been assured that theirs will get where it needs to go. They have also been given permission to open any of their 400 churches as medical centers. K.P. Yohannan reports that this is nearly a miracle. The only obstacle will be finding Burmese doctors and nurses since the country has not been allowing any outside teams to cross their borders to work.

Also, a church leader was granted permission to open temporary orphanage to take care of 90 children that came into their care after the cyclone. The children have no families and are entirely alone.

Also, maps.google.com has a map of the flooding and cyclone path. It’s sobering stuff.
