The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette briefly covers the return of Joshua and Khin Htaik Leme to Myanmar with relief supplies provided by American Christians.
Gentle readers will note well that Joshua Leme is a distinguished alumnus of Cincinnati Christian University and the president of Eastern Bible Institute in Yangon. The water purification systems that he is carrying into the country were funded by International Disaster Emergency Services.
Meanwhile, donations to IDES for Myanmar relief have not been forthcoming. The IDES staff speculates that the media hasn't provided the kind of visual images that motivate giving. We also suspect that donors may not realize how readily IDES can get supplies into Myanmar despite its xenophobic military junta.
In any case, we put out the call again. Click here to give online. Send checks to:
