Australian Baptists are partnering together to support our brothers and sisters in Myanmar who are experiencing atrocities every day at the hand of the military.
We invite you and your church to join with Baptist churches around Australia in our Stand with Myanmar campaign by holding a Myanmar Sunday church service on September 15th (or on a Sunday between Aug 15-Sept 15).
Despite disappearing from our daily news reports, the situation has worsened in recent months and there are approximately 2,650,000 internally displaced people living or hiding in the jungle in Myanmar and a further 1,133,000 seeking asylum or in refugee camps in the countries surrounding Myanmar, according to the UN. Funds are desperately needed for education, medical supplies, food, water and clothing.
The ethnic people groups of Myanmar are largely Baptist and here in Australia we have over 75 Baptist congregations originating from Myanmar, 56 of which are within our Baptist Union of Victoria.
Please consider joining with us by adding this important event to your church calendar for Aug – Sept 2024, as we stand with our brothers and sisters from Myanmar.
ACT, PRAY and GIVE resources will be available, along with videos and other church service ideas.
Keep an eye out for more information which will be emailed to all churches, as well as on the BUV social media and BUV website in early July with some wonderful resources and ideas for how to hold your Myanmar Sunday service.
From mid July search www.standwithmyanmar.com.au to get involved.
