I live in Myanmar, a land of breathtaking beauty and deep pain. Our country stretches across mountains, plains, and rivers — a meeting place of many peoples and cultures. The Burman majority makes up more than half of our population, yet we are a tapestry of many ethnic groups, each with its own language, dress, and traditions. In the hills and borderlands, small communities live quietly, holding on to their identity and hope.

But our diversity has not come without suffering. Since 2017, the Rohingya and many others have endured unimaginable persecution. Entire villages have been burned, and hundreds of thousands have fled their homes. I have seen the grief in people’s eyes — mothers searching for missing sons, children growing up as refugees. The weight of injustice here is heavy, but I believe the Lord still weeps with us and has not turned His face away.

In Yangon, our nation’s largest city, life moves fast and the world feels close. Yet even here, amid hardship and fear, God is working quietly through His people. The church in Myanmar is small but strong. We pray for His kingdom to come — for justice to roll down like waters, for hearts to be healed, and for the love of Jesus to bring peace to this broken land. I believe the light of Christ will yet rise over Myanmar, and the darkness will not overcome it.

• Orar por the healing of Myanmar’s deep wounds — that Jesus would comfort those broken by war, loss, and displacement. (Salmo 147:3)

• Orar por the light of Christ to shine in the midst of violence and fear, bringing peace where darkness has reigned. (John 1:5)

• Orar por courage and protection for believers in Yangon and across the nation to stand firm and share the hope of the gospel. (Efesios 6:19–20)

• Orar por God’s justice to roll through Myanmar, defending the oppressed and bringing restoration to every ethnic group. (Amos 5:24)

• Orar por unity among the Church — that believers from every tribe and tongue in Myanmar would rise together as one body in Christ. (Apocalipsis 7:9)
