Fatal Fire Strikes Nazarene Family in Myanmar – Please Pray!

by | Nov 24, 2015

Karen State, Myanmar:  A tragic story is emerging today out of the country of Myanmar.

On Saturday, November 21st, in the early morning hours (around 2:00am) fire broke out in the home of one of our Nazarene families.

Now the home owner (also a member of the church) has been arrested as part of the investigation into the fire.  The entire family is very active in the local church ministry.

Please pray for all involved, for the family as they deal with this tragic loss, for the churches as they come together to support the family,  and for the man who has been imprisoned.  Pray that the investigation would be objective and that no one would be falsely accused.
