| Jim Carrey - Call to Action on Burma and Aung San Suu Kyi |
 |
Jim Carrey calls for people to support the
world's only imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize
recipient Aung San Suu Kyi. He also decries
Burma's military regime for recruiting more
child soldiers than any other country in the
world, destroying 3,000 villages in eastern
Burma, and forcing 1.5 million refugees to
flee. He appeals to viewers to join two
organizations:
The Human Rights Action Center

| Twin Crusade - Burma |
 |
January 2000
We go in search of the baby faced and battle
hardened child generals of the Karen
guerrillas.
Twins Luther and Johnny Htoo stand amidst
their child fighters and make faces at the
camera. Luther's eyes roll as he sucks on a
fat cigarette, Johnny smiles and pokes out
his tongue. Last month's hostage crisis in
the Thai hospital at Ratchaburi brought the
world's attention to the God's Army. These
twelve-year-old twins hit the headlines as
the masterminds behind this and an earlier
hostage incident at the Burmese Embassy. New
pictures and footage of the boys provides an
eerie glimpse into their crusade. For their
dedicated followers they are divinely
inspired leaders with the protection of an
invisible horde of Karen warriors. "When they
were born the sound of crowds was heard...
when people went to look there were no
footprints," reports Sister Roberts, an
American nun who has counselled and watched
the boys for the last 3 years. The twins lead
with the Bible, reciting their favourite
passages as an ideological platform. When in
battle they talk like adults and are deeply
respected. But just how long can their
rag-tag band of 200 youths survive the
combined roth of the Thai and Burmese
military? We reveal that the twins may have
escaped a recent Burmese army assault
although their current whereabouts is
unknown.

| Burma Cyclone |
 |
Pastors Timothy and Rebecca Laklem, the
founders and directors of Asian Tribal
Ministries, have been working in the war-zone
areas of Burma along the Thai border for 30
years preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ,
as well as providing humanitarian relief such
as food, medical supplies, clothing, and hope
to the hurting and often displaced peoples of
Burma.
A few months ago, Pastor Timothy had
requested from the Burmese authorities
permission to build schools and visiting
families and children in the south of Burma
(where the disaster has hit) and ATM also had
plans to have the first Christmas Outreach
there at the end of the year to many children
who have never received a Christmas gift.
In response to the recent cyclone Nargis and
the destructive stamp it left upon the
Irrawaddy Delta region of Burma, Asian Tribal
Ministries will be sending in relief teams to
assist with medical needs, food distribution,
water purification, and hope.
Asian Tribal Ministries has been given
permission by the authorities of Burma, as
one of the very few overseas Christian
organizations given permission, to bring
relief into the disaster zone.
The death toll has already reached 100,000
and increasing due to aid being slow in
reaching the people.
Over one million people are homeless, with no
food, no drinking water, and prevalent
diseases. In the next few months, monsoon
season will be upon the region and will make
the situation even more chaotic.
Your help is needed. For more information on
how you can get involved to help in this
crucial time, contact Pastors Timothy and
Rebecca Laklem at the following email
