Myanmar village buried by mud flow

Myanmar village buried by mud flow

by | 04 Sep 2015

Mud began flowing through Tuikhin Zang, a village in Kalaymyo Township in eastern Myanmar, August 28. The local Nazarene pastor provided the following report:

 There were 180 houses in the village. When the villagers noticed mud flowing inside their village, they began going door-to-door informing  one another that they needed to evacuate. Shortly thereafter, the local news was indicating that the entire village was overwhelmed by this mud, destroying almost all of the homes. Only four remained, but even more tragic is that 20 persons were reported missing.

Continued prayer is requested for Myanmar, specifically the Kalaymyo region, where there is significant work.

Caption

The Cameroon flag is a vertical tricolor of green, red and yellow, defaced with a five-pointed star in its center. The center stripe is thought to stand for unity: red is the colour of unity, and the star is referred to as "the star of unity." The yellow stands for the sun and also the savannas in the northern part of the country, while the green is for the forests in the southern part of Cameroon.
