Program areas at Free Burma Rangers
Burma Ministries - We have over 140 multi-ethnic Free Burma Ranger relief teams serving in the conflict areas of Burma. We are providing assistance all over Burma and the teams are doing a wonderful job, bravely and humbly. They are not led by comfort, fear, or pride, but by love and the opportunities God gives them. This report uses the July 2022 Karenni mission as an example of how you are helping us help those in need all over Burma. Along with our role of sharing God's love, we give material assistance to people in need. We have been able to help with treating wounded, transporting wounded for more advanced care, providing plastic tarps for shelter for those in hiding, as well as school supplies, blankets, rice, stipends for teachers, ambulances and other vehicles, wells and water projects, and the rebuilding of damaged churches.

Thailand Ministries Chaplaincy: "I have a darkness in my heart that I cannot get rid of," shared a student with one of the chaplains during training. "It is a burden I have carried since before I can remember." "Do you want to be free of this burden? Only Jesus can remove this burden from you," the chaplain responded. "I am not sure He can take this burden. It is too deep. I am not sure I even want to give it to up," replied the student. "Pray," the chaplain replied. "Ask Jesus to give you the courage. Only He can do this." Over the next few weeks this student progressively shared more about the burden he was carrying. He hated ethnically Burman people. He had watched over his 25+ years of life the atrocities committed against his Karen people by the Burma Army. Continued on note in Additional Information section....
Middle East Ministries - I learned to ask God for everything. And then after you ask God, you may ask your friends for help and see what happens. But trust God. - Abdul Sattar, a teacher at a frontline school near Manbij in northeast Syria. Because of these prayers, a school building and new toilets have been built at his school, which continues to be within range of enemy machine gun and mortar fire. In spite of the frequent attacks, Abdul Sattar, the teachers, parents, and the children keep the school open. Since the Turkish invasion of 2019, their school in Dadat, north of Manbij, has become a front line with the proxy forces of the Turks and the Turks themselves just across the Sajur River to the north.
