Call for prayer

Partners in the UK have issued this call for prayer:

2nd June 2009 – Prayer for Ler Ber Her and 22 Battalion, Karen State

We have just received information that the Burma Army and the DKBA (Democratic Karen Buddhist Army) are planning to attack Ler Ber Her, an IDP camp on the border and 22 Battalion close by in Karen State.

Our sources have told us that armed troops of hundreds of soldiers are only 2 days walk away.

The Burma Army and DKBA have arrested civilians whom they are using as porters for the operation. These people come from inside Pa-an district and Myawaddi Township.

Please pray – there are many innocents who today have nowhere else to run and are in fear for their lives.
