Members of Bible Missionary Church, a member of Mennonite World Conference in Myanmar, have fled to mountainous areas for safety since the military seized power there on Feb. 2.

More than 2,000 protesters have been killed there, and civil resistance has shifted from peaceful to armed. Medicine, food and clothing are scarce.

“We would like to express our sincere request for the vulnerable 404 families, especially for refugees of our BMC members,” said the unnamed BMC leader. “You are requested to get involved in your prayer for Myanmar.”
