17/10/07 - Welcome To The Mission Field Rambo
Our Thailand ECED Orphanage partner Charlie and Cathy Milbrodt sent their recent partner letter describing a visit to their area by the famous Hollywood Actor - Sylvester Stallone.
"Stallone noted that the Karen people have been especially hard hit by this repressive regime. Much of our ministry is focused on the Karen people that have been displaced by the Burmese military. We are currently caring for over 40 orphans whose parents were killed by Burmese soldiers. These 40+ children are among the 350 children that attend our Living Word Mission School that we have been operating for over ten years close to the Burma border.
"Sylvester Stallone gave an interview Monday, October 1st. “I
witnessed the aftermath – survivors with legs cut off and all kinds of
land mine injuries, maggot infested wounds and ears cut off. We saw
many elephants with blown-off legs. We hear about Vietnam and
Cambodia and this was more horrific.” Stallone went on to say, “This is a hell hole beyond your wildest dreams. All the trails are mined. The only way into Burma is up the river.”
My comments to this are… “Welcome to the mission field Rambo!”
