Cyclone Nargis--Urgent Prayer Request

Some of y'all may have already heard in the news recently about Cyclone Nargis wreaking havoc in Burma. Nargis is by far the worst cyclone ever to hit Burma/Myanmar, having scored a direct hit on the low-lying and densely-populated Irrawaddy Delta region of Burma as a Category 4 storm, and then on the capital city of Rangoon/Yangon as a Category 3 storm.

Thankfully, most of our contacts in Burma were likely relatively safe from this disaster, as most of the churches Sabbath House is working with were north of the storm, and Christians in the Karen state were protected by mountainous terrain. However, Naing Thang, the leader of the CREC churches in Burma, as well as the orphanage there that Sabbath House is supporting, are in hard hit Yangon. Most communications are down, so nothing has been heard from them yet.
Please pray:
1) That Naing Thang and the Christians in his churches are safe.
2) That all those suffering from this disaster might receive desperately-needed aid as soon as possible.
3) That the Christian churches in the area would be able to step up and assist those in need, and further the gospel in the process.
