Sri Lanka produces more good news than precious stones and tea plantations. The resplendent brightness of theSri Lankan people with their loving hearts and hospitality. A people who have forgiven and taken the path to peace in this end of the Earth. Glory to God!
Sri Lanka is a diverse country. The majority of the population is Buddhist, but there are Hindus, Muslims, and Christians as well. This Muslim family, like many here, was very friendly and generous, and very welcoming to foreigners.
In 2004, an earthquake in Southeast Asia reached the shores of many countries, including Sri Lanka, in the form of tsunamis. According to Wikipedia, the tsunami killed more than 35,000 people in Sri Lanka, twice as many people as the 2011 earthquake and tsunamis in Japan. More than half a million people, living in conditions like these seen here, were displaced from their homes. Please continue to pray for healing here and God´s provision.
This hotel building was bombed and is still abandoned with damages. Sri Lanka suffered a 30 year civil war in which an estimated 80,000-100,000 people died. With the end of the war in 2009, the Sri Lankan people are still recovering from the trauma of war. We give thanks to God for peace in the nation and for the healing power of the Holy Spirit.
These children came from a poverty stricken neighborhood. When they saw us, they came running and we played games, sang Hallelujah, and prayed together! Praise the Lord!
We thank you again and again for your continued prayers, support, and love.
