MYANMAR CYCLONE
DISASTER RESPONSE
Graphic pictures help bring the reality of the devastated lands of Myanmar into focus. However, the harsh
reality of the cyclone aftermath is yet to fully descend upon the nationals, much less the rest of the world.We
come to you today with as brief an e-update as possible with the most information as we now know it in regards to
sending supplies and teams into the starkly savage frontier before the people of Myanmar.

How you can help NOW and in the FUTURE?
We are developing with our international partner base a recon team to go into Myanmar shortly. This team will
join our on-ground partners to continue the assessment of the damage, and explore our national and
international partnership capabilities and needs as well as inter-agency and governmental issues. Some of our on the
ground partners in Myanmar have lost their homes and lives as well.We have folks on the ground in Myanmar we are
connected with, and in countries surrounding Myanmar. Due to the sensitive nature of the political environment, we
do not discuss everything that we know or do. If you would like to be part of the initial recon team, email me
at once to apply. After we agree you should be a part, then immediately your passport and visa must be in
place. This is no simple matter, so moving quickly is necessary. The costs are being developed for this initial
trip, expect the per person cost to be around $4000-$5000. US
You can Adopt Project 1: We are shipping solar powered water purification units into the zone. These units
produce 1000 gallons of pure water per day. Thousands will die if clean water is not accessed quickly. Millions
of people there are without water sources right NOW. These units cost $3000. each to deploy.
You can Adopt Project 2: We are already shipping PACKS (Personal Assistance Care Kits) These are designed to
have many of the basic items needed to sustain life in disaster circumstances. Different circumstances and
cultures require that each PACK contain items relevant to that individual location. Each kit typically contains a
plastic container, food, electrolytes, basic clothing, and personal hygiene items. These PACKS WILL SAVE LIVES,
and open ears to the GOSPEL. Saving lives for temporally and eternally for $60.00 each, including distribution.
You can Adopt Project 3: We have a container of special fabric ready to ship. Need a contact to pay for it.
The material can be cut into various shapes and sizes for shelter temporarily. We need someone to adopt the
shipping costs.
You can Adopt Project 4; Prayer teams to pray around the clock for volunteers, responders, and residents of
Myanmar.
You can Adopt Project 5: Begin processing in your field of influence (church, business, school, community
group) the information needed to form teams of people who can go and help in the country. There is an orderly
process that is good, yet, sometimes difficult to get through. Please email as you begin to contemplate this part
of your response. We anticipate this level of assistance being needed for months and years to come. This would
involve adequate housing for those affected, micro-business aspects, evangelism and discipleship training,
health care, mental health issues, water well systems, infrastructure developments to name a few.
You can Adopt Project 6: Simply put, cash donations always works well. Our history of transferring your
donations to credible needs is good. 100% of donations earmarked to the efforts goes to the efforts. If you decide
to donate to the general funds, that is helpful too.
Please, pray, and thank you for your email responses and receive our heart-felt gratitude for all you HAVE
DONE, and WILL DO. More importantly, please accept our thanks for who you rise up to BE during these times of
need. Another e-update will be sent out soon. Please see our news page for other updates by the end of the week on
the continued Gulf Coast restoration processes. Your help is still needed there.
Blessings, JD & Toni Smith
