Cyclone Kills 22,000 in Myanmar; Please Pray Awana has 38 churches in Myanmar, where a typhoon has wreaked havoc. Jess Curabo, our regional ministry director for Southeast Asia, called the situation “utter devastation. No power. No water. Stores shut. Food supplies running out. Praise God our worker and his family are safe. All the windows on their home were blasted by winds. The entire place is soaked.
