An updated report from the Christian Newswire that the Burmese government is now denying relief aid to Karen Christians after the area was struck by a massive cyclone recently leaving thousands upon thousands dead or homeless. This is very distressing news. Please keep these people in your prayers, because what Jesus said would happen in the last days before His return is happening~~"And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Matthew "24:12
