Myanmar

• The country has gone through much political instability. Pray for a just and righteous government. There is much political oppression. Myanmar’s human rights record has been rated one of the worst in the world.
• Pray for unity among the different church groupings, and for a united voice towards the government and the other religious groups.
• Praise God for ongoing growth in most denominations in Myanmar. Pray for more people to come to know God.
• There are very few Christians among the ethnic Burmese. Pray for a real breakthrough.
• The Rohingya in the west of the country are a strongly Islamic group of people. There is no known Christian witness among them.
• Pray for the urban poor and Christians working among them.
• Pray for the rural poor, who are in need of health care and schools.
• Many people are dispossessed and made refugees as a result of the many ethnic conflicts, notably the Karen, Shan, Karenni and Kachin on the Thailand/Myanmar border. Pray for them and Christian organisations ministering to them.
• Pray for ongoing good missionary activities from within Myanmar. Some are working cross-culturally within the country; others are ministering in India, China and Laos.
• Pray for openings for foreign workers and that Christians would take up these openings.
• Pray for the work of the Bible Society. The Bible has been translated into 12 languages; 10 more have the New Testament and another 16 have portions of the Bible, but there are still more than 100 people groups with no portions of Scripture in their own language [Wycliffe].
