Our purpose is found in Proverbs 31:8,
“Open your mouth for the speechless, in the cause of all who are
appointed to die. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead
the cause of the poor and needy.”
Our service in Thailand has brought into focus the need on several
fronts -- first for the lost of Thailand, and also for the needs of
Thailand’s neighboring country, Burma. The hope and livelihood of
the Burmese and its ethnic minority have been crushed by a brutal
military regime for nearly 60 years. Thailand has absorbed hundreds
of thousands of Burma’s refugees, and most of those refugees are
comprised of Burma’s largest ethnic minority, the Karen.
