With a woman to look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

After a military junta, a Swiss power in 2021, the Southeast Asian nation of Myanmar,

has seen an escalation of violence at the Conflict and religious persecution.

With an already long history of internal conflict, observers have longed hold for democratic

reform for increased freedom.

But that now seems more improbable than ever.

The country's ruling junta is waging war against an opposition government, consisting

of multiple ethnic groups.

civilians are being caught in the crossfire and the religious, especially Christians, are

convenient targets.

And though the brutality of Myanmar's government is not restricted to only Christians, they

have endured a heavy share of the violence.

In the western state of Chen, the junta military has destroyed over 85 churches by arson, ground

artillery, even airstrikes.

Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Myanmar that God would bring swift and just

resolution to this conflict and give them courage in the meantime.

For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street.
