Disease Takes Lives of Children in Myanmar–Prayers Needed

by | Aug 5, 2016

Myanmar: In less than 2 months, more than 30 children have died from an unknown disease in northern Myanmar. The disease gives difficulty in breathing and has been reported as being contagious. Most of the children who were affected have been 5 years old or younger.

The Church of the Nazarene has significant work in Myanmar.

Please pray for Myanmar, the families of the children and that the Lord will provide in this time of need.
