"...."I think it's going to become a North Korea very easily unless the world
gets involved .."

Burma's Democratic leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, just marked her65th birthday; she
is under house arrest. The junta government ignored her election win in 1990 and
marked her as an enemy and she informs that Burma takes a page from North Korea
Patrick Klein with Vision Beyond Borders says, for some reason, their misdeeds
have gone "under the radar." "I think it's going to become a North Korea very
easily unless the world gets involved and says, 'Enough is enough.'"
This comes against the backdrop of a reported military crackdown against Burma's
Karen, many of them Christians. "There's genocide taking place. They're wiping
out whole villages. We have a report of over 3300 villages being burned to the
ground and landmines everywhere. Over half a million people have died." The
Gospel brings hope amidst dangerous circumstances. "We've just had a request
from an evangelist to help provide 20,000 New Testaments. He wants to evangelize
soldiers." (More info. next Buenas Nuevas  August edition .)
