PMI Myanmar Relief Project Going Strong!

The PMI Myanmar Relief Project is going strong!  We are helping many people who were desperate, helpless and at risk of malnutrition, disease and even death.  Our Burmese staff is working tirelessly around the clock to achieve our strategic God-given relief plan.

 With the help of all the PMI partners, we have been able to bring aid and relief to thousands of people in Myanmar who were affected by Cyclone Nargis.  By strategically empowering our network of pastors in Myanmar, we have distributed tons of food and supplies and have saved the lives of many.  In addition, we are committed to providing a home in Yangon for 50 more children who lost their parents in the storm. 

 Through the generosity of the PMI partners, we have provided the following for hundreds of families in Myanmar:

·        Rice

·        Drinking water

·        Cooking oil

·        Salt

·        Vegetables

·        Beans

·        Mosquito nets

·        Tin roofing

·        Roofing nails

·        Bamboo poles

·        Wood

·        Cement

·        Plumbing pipes

·        Bamboo fencing

Please help us help the people of Myanmar!

Please send your donations to Powers Ministries International today and be sure to mark "Myanmar Cyclone Relief."

A Pastor is empowered to help his community!

Thank you very much for your love and concern.  As a pastor, it was very important for me to be able to help the people of my congregation and my whole community.  Most of the people here did not have any food to eat or clean water to drink.  They had no idea how they would survive and many were starting to get sick.  Through your generosity, we have been able to buy rice, pure water, cooking oil, beans, salt and other vital needs for the survival of our church families and many of our neighbors.  Also, to provide shelter, we were able to buy tin, roofing nails, bamboo walling and bamboo posts.  As many people received these blessings from you, they cried and shared testimonies of how they were overwhelmed by God’s love and goodness as He answered their prayers.  Now, more people have received Jesus and are coming to church.

A woman is overwhelmed by God’s provision!

This is Daw Miah.  She is a widow and has one daughter.  Her home was swept away in the cyclone and she was left with nothing.  When they were struggling to live, the PMI relief team came and provided food, shelter and clean water.  Today, her church, with PMI’s help, is rebuilding her house.

An orphan is safe and healthy!

This child was left with no shelter, no food, no clean water to drink and only the clothes on his back as the cyclone ravaged his village.  Without help, he would have likely become very sick and possibly died.  Today, he is healthy, full and very thankful for the food, water and shelter that PMI has provided for him.

PMI Building - Chiang Mai

We thank God for our new building! 

Every time we go to the office, we look around in amazement as we consider God's faithfulness.  Whether we are working, having a meeting, or welcoming another guest, we have sensed God's presence and an amazing peace in this place.

This building is a vital step for us as we establish our ministry here and pursue our vision of empowering emerging Christian leaders.  Dr. Sumrall once said, "when you are taking a nation for the Gospel, it begins by possessing the real estate"!

We view this building as though it were an embassy.  All the rules, laws and customs of the Kingdom of God apply here.  Our prayer is that when people come in our building they experience the power of God's Kingdom.

We are very grateful to God for His faithful provision.  We say "thanks a million" to all of our partners who generously gave to help us make this purchase.  And, we are thankful to the Thai seller who has shown great favor toward us.

We secured this property with a promise to provide full payment in three years (interest free). 

Our next payment of $22,388 is due January 1, 2009.

Please pray about being a building partner with us as we continue to "take ground" in the 10/40 Window.
