A Prop Plane

Reading oiuy

TO Northern Myanmar! THE  GOLDEN TRIANGLE 

                           

As we sat in the very provincial airport on Yangoon, I couldn't help   but think about the safety of this flight. I assessed the  condition  of  the x- Ray machine  and the 

 Fellow passengers. They appeared to be  unconcerned until the 2nd  announcement  over the loud speaker confirmed indeed our flight was delayed  due  to weather. The sky  cast   a foreboding  threat of rain as the clouds were swollen with an imminent  downpour .  When our flight did eventually arrive and we were called to que up  to  begin to board,, Jim and I both commented simultaneously,

 " it's a prop plane !"  

Thankfully, we climbed to beautiful heights soaring above the clouds and I was able to view the earth below from my window. 

It was a very un eventful flight 2 hours to Northern Muanmar  , where we would begin the first seminar.

In the city of Mytikyina. 

This river, dwarfed by my photo here,   runs through the country m it's headwaters  from mountains in the Northern Territory  where we were headed in this flight. We would be only 40 miles from the China border and 40 miles from the  Conflict Zone. 

The image below is a stern warning  to unwelcomed  visitors who may venture in, disregardin the posted restrictions. This is posted in the  Lobby of our hotel, which was owned by a Christian. 

In the city  of  Mytiktyina. 

The location we would be hosting the first seminar was offered in an Orphanage. 

It was a beautiful situation as it says in Psalms, as this was a Christian  Home. 

 As there were 140  children , true orphans  whose  parents had been killed

  in the  past  few years  by   tribal and Burmese Conflict, which at present is at a lull. 

 Or the children have been orphaned by heroin  addiction HIV  and in some cases poverty. 

  Interestingly enough we are in The  Golden Triangle here.

I am sharing with the children, in Chapel Hour.

The elderly man in this photo is the Founder and Director of the Orphanage. 

 He was once Govenor of the State and   Mayor   Of  the  city. . 

He is very humble  and loves Jesus. 

PTA buys thousands  if pairs of new reading glasses in different  strengths and we give them to Pastors  their wives and Christian Workers.  This simple  gift  changes their life's.  What a joy to witness.
