Evangelical Christianity came to Myanmar through Adoniram Judson in the 19th century. Today, Myanmar is largely Buddhist, but with a sizable Christian population. Formerly, the country was known as Burma (the official name until 1989), and it is the second largest country in Southeast Asia. It is bordered by Bangladesh and India to its northwest, China to its northeast, Laos and Thailand to its east and southeast, and the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal to the south and southwest.
Myanmar is also one of the world’s most diverse countries, with a rich history and a wealth of cultural and religious traditions, and as many as 135 different ethnic groups. About 55 million people live in Myanmar with sizable groups living in Thailand, India and other Asian countries.
In Orphan Voice promotional and fund-raising literature, names which are used are fictional to protect the identity of the children. At times, faces are blurred to give further protection.
Orphan Voice thanks you for your generosity manifested in every gift. Your gift is tax deductible to the full extend allowed by law. If Orphan Voice highlights one of its outreaches in requesting funds and that outreach is fully funded, or if unforeseen/governmental circumstances intervene so that the highlighted outreach cannot be completed, excess gifts will be applied to other outreaches focused on special needs children, orphans, the poor, the deaf, or youth vulnerable for abuse or trafficking. We thank God for you and we're thankful for your support.
Orphan Voice Ministries is a longtime member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) and the Christian Alliance For Orphans (CAFO).
