 May 7, 2008— YANGON, Myanmar: Word has come in from Myanmar (formerly Burma) that the staff at Lutheran Hour Ministries (LHM)-Myanmar is safe, following the devastating cyclone last weekend.

The message read, "Praise the Lord! The LHM-Myanmar director and her family are safe. Our houses are fine. Most houses around here are severely damaged. The LHM office is now closed for one week." She added that they are still trying to get in touch with others in the community.
