International News Report
THE SALVATION ARMY IN MYANMAR (BURMA) RESPONDS TO CYCLONE NARGIS

The Salvation Army in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) is responding to the devastation caused by Cyclone Nargis, which is thought to have killed more than 20,000 people. Communications to Myanmar have been severely affected but news has been received that local Salvationists are helping victims in the Yangon area.

Although occasionally the victim of flooding in the rainy seasons, the country of Myanmar has not, on the whole, been subject to cyclones. Because of this, the infrastructure is not in place to deal with such a disaster. News bulletins are reporting an escalating death toll and many thousands of people are now homeless as a result of the cyclone and without access to clean water.

Despite being subject to the great difficulties and damage to property – the roof was torn off the Regional Headquarters building – members of The Salvation Army in Yangon have been providing cooked meals from their own store of food for those who are desperately in need. Local Salvationists are seeking to assist as many people as possible although access to many areas is near impossible. In some places communication networks are completely unavailable.

Major Mike Caffull, Field Operations Officer of International Emergency Services, says: 'Early indications suggest that Salvationists in Myanmar are responding magnificently to the disaster that has hit their country, but it is also clear that there is going to be a great need for substantial financial support to enable an appropriate response to the damage and suffering that is already being experienced and which is likely to continue for some time.'

SERIES 141: BIBLICAL GATES AND GATEWAYS

Life has often been compared to a journey. Like a trip taken down a road full of experiences, decisions, successes and failures, joys and sorrows. In our journey down this “road of life” there will be detours that can get us off course completely from our intended destination. Then there will be times we will come upon a gate, a kind of one-way portal, through which once we pass life will never be the same again.

In this series, our speaker Steve Hedgren will take us through a study about some of the “Gates and Gateways” found in the Bible – God’s Instruction Book for Life. Some of these “gates” will be physical, some will be figurative, and yet still others spiritual in nature. However, they will all lead us to the same place – standing in Eternity before Jesus Christ. When that time comes, will He be your Savior or your Judge?
