Urgent Prayer Request

First of all, Leon and I, and the whole family, want to thank you for your precious prayers. Please keep praying as we go through the next few days or more. . . We appreciate so very much the messages you have sent encouraging us.

Luke 21:20 ‘And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.’ I know that the armies are not yet at Jerusalem’s doorstep (Hamas being the closest so far), but things are beginning to gel for the end time conflict of armies in the Holy Land. ISIS, now called the Islamic State, is continuing its advance and ethnic cleansing efforts in northern Iraq. The attacks on Christians and Yazidi minorities continue. The men are killed. The women and young girls enslaved. Children are being beheaded. Those who do not convert must flee for their lives or die.

Myitkyina is the capital of what is called the Kachin State of Burma.  The Chinese want to build a dam on the Meka/Melika River that flows through Myitkyina so they can develop hydro-electric power to feed the power-starved Chinese economy located across the border.
