Myanmar & border areas

Vulnerable, displaced people in Myanmar and on the Thai and Indian borders face many challenges. Baptist Mission Australia is partnering with Sharing Hope, Kachin Baptist Convention and the Baptist Church of Mizoram in the provision of humanitarian relief, support to people in refugee camps, education, trauma training and the development of emerging leaders. In this support we also stand alongside Burmese Baptist faith communities across Australia.

We can’t forget the people of Myanmar. They are some of the most vulnerable people on the planet. Needs in the country and on the Thai, Indian and Chinese borders are enormous and growing.

Since the military junta staged a coup and took over government in Myanmar in 2021, the situation has continued to escalate with no end to violence, increase in aerial bombings, human rights abuses and with the introduction of conscription. These and other factors continue to see a rise in widespread displacement.

Despite disappearing from our daily news reports, the situation in Myanmar has worsened over the past year according to the UN. There are now more than 3.5million people displaced in the country and border regions. Many people in country are forced to live or hide in the jungle, while refugee camps in border regions are overflowing and many need to create makeshift housing. Funds are desperately needed for education, medical supplies, food, water and clothing.

Amid all this tragedy and hopelessness, the light and justice of Jesus shines through resilient, courageous and faithful people in the country and border areas. Baptist Mission Australia is working with Sharing Hope, Kawthoolei Karen Baptist Convention, Chin Christian Council Australia, Kachin Baptist Convention and other partners to express the hope of Jesus in action.

With your support you can help us provide urgent humanitarian supplies, stand alongside hurting people, enable kids to get an education, help pastors be equipped with trauma skills and see a new generation of leaders equipped for mission.
