This is what the Lord Almighty says, "Administer true justice, show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor. In your hearts do not think evil of each other"
Zechariah 7:9-10

| The Ethnic Nationalities Consultation | |
In November 2002, the Ethnic Nationalities Consultation representing 10 ethnic groups of Burma, joined together to actively work on the problems of narcotics, internally displaced people and human rights violations by the Burma dictators.
Please pray for political change in Burma, a restoration of democracy, civil society, justice, and rulers who are righteous and kind. Pray that all people will be represented and that each person of every ethnic group and faith will have equal rights and representation.

| Aung San Suu Kyi has again been officially released from house arrest. Pray for strength and wisdom for her. Despite her release, the human rights situation in Burma has not changed for the better. In fact, the attacks in most areas of Burma increased during 2002. |
