Myanmar needs Missionaries

It is estimated that perhaps 10,00 people could have died this week in Myanmar as a result of the cyclone.

The recent cyclone in Myanmar should redouble our interest in missions. Often I hear Christians talk about "what about the guy in the amazon who has never heard of Jesus?" I find the scriptures teaching, "How then shall they call on Him whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?" (Romans 10:14) Or perhaps the most under quoted verse that is near the most quoted verse in the new testament (next to "judge not lest you be judged"),

"He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God" (John 3:18).

So we need to have the heart of Christ to those who have not heard of Him. The harvest is ripe, but the Laborers are few. Lord use me to go, to send and to support the laborers that your harvest may be harvested.
