Aung San Suu Kyi represents Burma's best hope that one day there will be an end to the country's military repression. She has spent nine of the past 15 years in some form of detention and house arrest under Burma's military regime. Aung San Suu Kyi has often said that detention has made her even more determined to dedicate the rest of her life for her people.
"The only real prison is fear, and the only real freedom is freedom from fear." -Aung San Suu Kyi

Pray for our new Karen family that arrived here from Minnesota. The fathers name is Nyot Eh, his wife's name is Dah Mer, and 3 year old son "Tiger heart". We have gotten them signed up with the state for medical and food, Dah Mer was also tested and confirmed she is 4 months pregnant. We found Nyot a job, yesterday was his first day landscaping. Now we need to find them a home in our neighborhood. Please pray because Nyot says his mother and father and 6 kids are coming to Spokane from Burma in about a month or so...we need workers to help resettle, money and homes to clothe, feed and launch these families into new lives.
I was a stranger, and you welcomed me. - Jesus (Matthew 25:35)
