Myanmar Central District continues relief efforts through trauma debriefing

by | May 23, 2025

On 16 May 2025, the Nazarene Compassionate Ministries (NCM) Team in the Myanmar Central District completed its fourth round of relief efforts to earthquake victims who lost their homes and are suffering from emotional trauma, fear, and hopelessness due to the devastating earthquake.

While the NCM Team conducts a trauma debriefing program for children, God opened a way to open a prayer clinic for parents and adults for mental and physical healing. NCM has helped over 700 children overcome their fears. The team also had the opportunity to share about Jesus with these kids. The team also preached the gospel to over 400 parents and introduced them to Jesus as their Savior. They had the opportunity to pray for healing for 32 people and for the healing of 28 people.

Four people have also testified that they accepted Jesus as their Savior and Healer, were baptized, and are now new members of the Disciple Gospel Church of the Nazarene in Mandalay. These new believers actively participate in the NCM program and Lydia Evangelism, Discipleship, and Church Planting Ministries (EDC).  Two new preaching points have been established near the prayer clinic and through the Lydia EDC follow-up ministry.

Pastor Adam Joshua, the District Superintendent of the Central District, expressed heartfelt gratitude for the support, remarking, “As we prepare to assist victims in rebuilding their lives, we request your continued support through prayer and generous giving in Jesus Christ’s name.”
