andrew,
thanks for the call to keep the people of burma in prayer. having been to burma and currently in relationship with many karen/chin refugees from burma here in the larger seattle area, i am very burdened by the situation.
on a different note, the global day of prayer for burma was on march 9.
but yes, we need to be praying and discerning how we can help the relief efforts.

World Vision or the humanitarian branch of the Southern Baptist International Mission Board. I know that they have a lot of people already on the ground in Myanmar.

Besides World Vision, which I am always a fan of, there's Christian Aid in the UK.
