Living on the Foot of Burma

We are now in Mae Sai, a small city just on the border of Burma, and this is a hot spot for human trafficking and Child labour is a hit here, over the other side of the border life is harder because of the Military regime that is in Charge of the country. Burma is known as one of the most corrupt countries in the world, and that does not surprise me, i have been here for less than a Month but i have heard how people are mistreated in their own mother land by their own fellow country man, By what people say woman have no rights but woman can be in the army just as sex slaves. The Junta army can come into any one's house and take what ever they want to take. and do whatever they please.

its a also a country flooded by tribal wars. and they have been going for years and years. Freedom is a little swim on a not so tiny river that divided the two countries, regardless of the risk of drowning people do it anyway, One can be given a week in Thailand as a Refugee and after that week one can be taken to a refuge camp. i know that police are only doing their Job, but every morning when there is a road block they would always harass someone who doesn't have the right papers for being in Thailand. and for me this really looked like Apartheid that happened in South Africa about 15 years ago. and i really got angry when ever this occurred, but while all this is happening i can see what God is doing within small groups off Burmese people,
one of those things that i observed was that this country has people who put all their trust on these Gods that they have, even thought most of them are Buddhist i could see how passionate they would be about Christ. listen to this about 100 years ago there were Wars between Burma and Thailand and they fought over those Big Gold Buddha Statues that they have all over the country.

please pray for the people of Burma/ Myanmar is its known Today but i like the name Burma i think its cool...
