Prayer Request: "For Persecuted Christians in Burma"

The following comes from Madeleine Blu of Devon, England ...

"I am emailing you to request prayers for the persecuted Christians in Burma. If it is possible we would appreciate prayers from all over the world. Please find below a copy of the email I have sent to the Church of England, The Holy Catholic Church, The Baptist Church, The United Reform Church, The S.A. Gemeente, and God TV also asking for prayers."

"[Here] is a copy of the article from Mizzima news agency and the concomitant press release by Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW)."

"The Karens were our allies in the 1st and 2nd World War. In the 2nd World War they saved the lives of thousands of Allied Soldiers from the Japanese POW Camp during the retreat from Burma and were subsequently tortured and murdered by the Japanese during the occupation. Most of the ethnic groups in Burma fought for the Japanese but the Karens were notably loyal and because of them, their bravery and sacrifice, Britain and the Allies were able to retake Burma."

"Your prayers for them now and until such time as they are again freed will be greatly welcomed."

Yours sincerely,
Madeleine Blu (Miss)
Volunteer Worker, Karens of Burma
Devon
