UPDATE: Urgent Appeal for Humanitarian Aid: Help the Victims of Myanmar’s Devastating Earthquake

Christ’s Mandate for Missions (CMM) Responds to the Crisis in Myanmar

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE PRAYED AND GIVEN SO GENEROUSLY!

In March 2025, Myanmar was struck by a catastrophic earthquake that left thousands of people dead, injured, and displaced. As an interdenominational global ministry that operates in over 70 nations, Christ’s Mandate for Missions (CMM) is reaching out with an urgent call to action, asking for your immediate support to provide humanitarian aid to the suffering victims in Myanmar.

CMM has many dear friends, members, ordained ministers, students, and graduates of CMM College of Theology there, helping many with the urgent needs listed below. Pray for David J. and Van L. and the many families who are part of the CMM Family who live there.

The Devastating Impact of the Earthquake
The earthquake, which struck with overwhelming force in late March, has caused widespread destruction across the country. With a magnitude of 7.8, it has caused massive loss of life, severe infrastructure damage, and left communities devastated. According to reports from local authorities, over 20,000 people are feared dead and more than 50,000 injured, with many still trapped in collapsed buildings.

National Updates on the Earthquake’s Aftermath
In the days following the earthquake, Myanmar has continued to experience aftershocks, which have further hampered rescue efforts and added to the distress of survivors. These aftershocks, some reaching magnitudes of 5.2 to 6.3, are still occurring, with the risk of even larger tremors in the coming days.

The affected regions, particularly Yangon, Mandalay, and Bagan, have seen the most severe damage, with hospitals overwhelmed and shelters overflowing with those left homeless. Critical infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and communication networks, has been damaged or destroyed, making it difficult for aid to reach the most vulnerable populations. Rural areas, which were already underdeveloped, have been completely wiped out.

How Christ’s Mandate for Missions is Helping
Christ’s Mandate for Missions has been actively involved in Myanmar for years, providing critical aid, education, and spiritual support. In light of this recent disaster, our teams on the ground are working tirelessly to distribute emergency supplies such as:

Food and clean water

Mosquito Netting

Temporary shelters and blankets

Sanitation and hygiene products

We are also collaborating with local churches and organizations to ensure aid reaches even the most remote areas.
