Churches and mission partners have sprung into action to support the relief effort in Myanmar following the catastrophic earthquake which shook the nation last month. However, military control and violence still persists amid stories of gospel opportunity.

The southeast Asian country was devastated by the 7.7 magnitude quake which has killed more than 3,600, and the nation’s church community has crossed denominational divides to support the relief effort.

Platform 67’s Andrew Dudgeon told en that partners across Myanmar have been encouraged to find that amidst the challenges of supporting local communities, with much of the Myanmar population already living in poverty before the earthquake, opportunities for witness are “plentiful” amidst their relief work.
