The US Dollar; Myanmar

Two interesting headlines here from the Christian Science Monitor, which is a great news source IMHO:

How the falling dollar affects Americans


The falling dollar means that money sent to missionaries abroad will not go as far, generally speaking. So those of you who support missionaries in other countries, please consider increasing your giving to them.

Protests swell against Burma's military regime

Myanmar (Burma) is one of the most closed countries in the world in terms of Christian missions. Changes to a more open government would be beneficial for the spread of the Gospel in that mostly Buddhist country. But I think the evangelization would not be done by Americans and Europeans, but by other folks from S. Asia and SE Asia.

Check out the Joshua Project's profile on Myanmar.
