FBR Report: "Introducing Our New Foundation: Free The Oppressed"

FBR Photo
The Free Burma Rangers (FBR) is a multi-ethnic humanitarian service movement. They bring help, hope and love to people in the war zones of Burma (Myanmar). Ethnic pro-democracy groups send teams to be trained, supplied and sent into the areas under attack to provide emergency assistance and human rights documentation. Together with other groups, the teams work to serve people in need.



Introducing Our New Foundation: Free The Oppressed

Dear Friends, Family and Team,

Thank you so much for your love and support for the ministries of the Free Burma Rangers, Christians Concerned for Burma and all of our other ministries in Thailand, Burma, Sudan and Kurdistan. Thank you too for your prayers, love and encouragement for our teams and family.

Currently, we are receiving support through the Thai Christian Foundation (TCF). In 2016 we have started a new foundation called Free The Oppressed (FTO), which is a 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt foundation. Free The Oppressed is inspired by the words of Jesus in Luke 4:18-19: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” We are now transitioning to full fiscal sponsorship through FTO. TCF has been our strong support and fiscal sponsor and has helped send donations designated for the Free Burma Rangers, Christians Concerned for Burma and other ministries under our care in Burma and Thailand for many years. We are very grateful for their help and for the work that continues through TCF.

From now on, please send your tax-deductible gifts to:

Thank you for your understanding during this transition, and always for your prayers, love, encouragement and support.
