On a Wing and a Prayer

I just received this email Thursday morning from Beverley Kalnin in Chiang Mai.

Thank you so much for your prayers. We have good news! The Barefoot doctor students all received their passports and Thai visas two days ago. This is not easy to do as both the Thai and Myanmar governments are suspicious of any travellers from Myanmar, esp. a large group and Christian leaders at that! Praise the Lord, through all of our prayers, God softened the hearts of the officials and opened the doors for the students to come here. Today, 20 of them arrived in Chiangmai safe and sound! The other 7 (that includes translators Abraham and Timothy too) will fly here on Sunday. Classes begin on Monday so they are arriving just in time. All of this is only through the power of God!

Now, we ask you to pray hard for God to bless the school. We are short of funds for the actual running of the school in Chiangmai. The entire Barefoot Doctor School is being done on faith this time. This is also the first time we are bringing in students from Arakhan State near the Bangladesh border as well as Shan State, Kachin State and Yangon. They are from six different major people groups in Myanmar. We are excited about that!

Whatever you can donate for the training of these dedicated Barefoot students will be well invested and bring a great return as they go out healing the desperately ill in Myanmar both physically and spiritually.

May God bless you abundantly! Beverley Kalnin

Thanks again for your prayers. The 2010 school launches in just four days!
