Gospel for Asia issued a call for ‘compassionate prayer’

Gospel for Asia issued a call for ‘compassionate prayer’ after more than 160 people were killed by a mudslide at a jade mine in northern Myanmar on July 2. Triggered by heavy rains, the mudslide swept into the mining site ‘like a tsunami,’ according to one state official, burying workers and people scavenging for precious stones. Several Christians living in a nearby village work at the jade mine, but no one from the local church was reported missing. (GFA)
