In the wake of the cyclone that devastated Myanmar in May 2008, TWR desired to air special relief programs. With upwards of 100,000 people dead and another million displaced from their homes, the need is desperate. “People are broken-hearted and [will] need significant longterm help,” says TWR’s Andrew Sundar, ministry director for Southeast Asia. “My prayer is that TWR can provide a voice of lasting hope and comfort.”
