This miracle came about amid a backdrop of more than a decade of political cruelty toward certain Burmese ethnic minorities. Over the years, 3,000 villages in eastern Burma have been destroyed and the people were either killed or driven into remote mountainous areas. Some were able to escape to neighboring countries, although they were not particularly welcomed there.

This encouraging story is being continued in this week's edition of Joel News. Also in this edition: New Zealand plane lands miraculously on a wing and a prayer, Salvation in the streets of Baltimore.
