The situation in Myanmar continues to get worse. While news reports are not as prevalent as they should be, staying informed opens doors for Christians to pray and help.
Although most foreign mission trips have been cancelled due to Covid, Morningside is thankful to support and pray for college students and young adults serving in Christian camps and on mission trips in the US. Some Morningsiders recently served on a mission team to San Francisco.
No Safe Zones
African youth, especially girls, face multiple threats on a regular basis, often from those closest to them. Their environment, society and their families offer little to no protection. In many cases their only help and hope are missionaries and churches who demonstrate Christ’s love and proclaim the Gospel. ODBM missionaries, Seth & Amy Meyers, share a glimpse of the challenges facing young people in Africa.
Pray for Countries in Crisis: Haiti, Myanmar & India.
Morningside has partnered with Vision2020Asia for many years to preach the Gospel, make disciples, and plant churches in India and beyond. Morningside is thankful to give a $1,450 gift to Vision2020Asia to advance the Gospel and minister to those in great need during the Covid crisis.
Pray for missionary Athem Chothe and the many national pastors ministering to multitudes of hurting and grieving people during the Covid crisis in India.

On the Move
Due to the ongoing military coup in Myanmar, we are unable to ship the container full of books. God has graciously provided a new storage facility that is much better conditioned for long term storage. On Thursday, May 6th, the books were moved to the new facility and will be stored safely until the Lord opens the door to ship the books to Myanmar.
Learn about church planting in rural Africa. Seth & Amy Meyers are veteran missionaries who have endured hardness and have faithfully sown Gospel seed among the Tsonga and Venda peoples of northeastern South Africa.

ODBM hosted its first Business as Mission (BAM) Retreat in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. Eleven college students and young adults enjoyed getting away and learning about BAM through informative general sessions and interacting with missionaries who are doing BAM. We pray that God will raise up more "BAMers" to advance the Gospel for the glory of God.
Planting Seeds
ODBM is hosting its first BAM (Business as Mission) Retreat in beautiful North Carolina April 9-11. Pray for young adults to catch a vision for the Unreached and commit to living On Mission. Business is a powerful tool to penetrate the darkness with the Light of the Gospel and transform lives for God’s glory. May mission seeds be planted that will result in laborers going to the harvest fields.
