This March, we’re dedicating the whole week of 7-13 March to praying for Burma. In November 2015, Aung San Suu Kyi’s National league for Democracy (NLD) party was elected to power, ending over a decade of oppressive military rule.
We’re excited about this important step for Burma, but this is just the start of a long road. Aung San Suu Kyi herself said in a recent interview that “Prejudice is not removed easily and hatred is not going to be removed easily.”
March 7-13, CSW will be holding an online week of prayer. You can join us by signing up for daily prayer emails, so you too can pray for the future of Burma at this critical time.

» Editor’s note: The government of Thailand has decided to send back to Burma the nearly 100,000 refugees, mostly persecuted minorities, who live in camps along the Thai-Burma border. Read a report from Vision Beyond Borders about their plans to relocate vulnerable refugee children during these dangerous days.
