We were out today for lunch with friends - Majors Amaro and Susan Pereira from Myanmar, their son Timothy from England and Captain Hary Haran at Food Haven Dover Road. We enjoyed the fellowship and meal together.
Good to receive news that Myanmar is now opening up. The winds of change have affected Myanmar and there is now more freedom. We hope and pray this will continue. The work of the Salvation Army is growing fast.
Salvation Army began operations in Burmah in 1915 by Adjutant Taran Das. He was sent by Commissioner Booth Tucker from India to pioneer the work there. Since 1966 Myanmar Salvationists have developed their own witness and service despite restriction of overseas personnel to serve in the country.
In 1994, it became part of the Singapore/Malaysia Command. The Command was elevated to the status of a territory.
The Pereiras are very enthusiastic about their appointment and positive in their attitude. We will certainly pray for them and their work with the Burmese people.
