  Dear FOB Donor, I have given the Christmas gift to Daw who is 80 years old. She is a widow. She is very devoted to God. She lives in  a town near Yangon and is very enthusiastic about going to church and worshiping, even in her old age. I greatly appreciate her faith and devotion to God. Her health is weak these days, and she needs medicines and nutritious foods. The Christmas gift is a wonderful reminder of God's blessings and providence in her time of need. I went to her town and gave the Christmas gift to her. She was very glad to receive this wonderful gift from God. I chose to give this gift to her because she deserves God's blessings due to her faith, devotion, and faithful prayers. This Christmas gift brings happiness and joy to those who are struggling in difficult times. Thank you very much for your love and care for those who need God's love and care. Blessings,

Dear FOB Donor, Saya has been helping distribute Christmas gifts and bags of rice to the needy. But this year, he was diagnosed with cancer in his right kidney and had to undergo surgery. He is a breadwinner for his family. His father is a pastor, but all his church members and his family had to leave their hometown because of the current situation in Myanmar. In addition, his father is physically weak and can no longer earn anything for the family. So, Saya is the only one the family has to rely on at this time. I visited him and prayed for him. He was very happy to receive the Christmas gift, which symbolized God's love for us. He asked me to convey his deep gratitude to you for your love and this Christmas gift. I was also grateful for the opportunity to bring the gift to him. May God continue to bless you!

Dear Dr. Neil, Diana, and FOB Donors, We would like to thank you and the FOB donors for your kind and generous donations that have made a difference in the life of many poor families and individuals in Myanmar. Even before the current crisis, Myanmar was one of the poorest countries in the world. Needless to say, the poor people have become poorer and depended on the generous donation from people like you for survival and hope. Whenever we received donations from FOB donors like you, we bought bags of rice (and bottles of oil which we cannot do at this time because of the rising prices of cooking oil and others) and distributed them to the more needy families and individuals. This time, we went to the outskirts of Yangon and gave away some bags of rice to the needy there. Since they unexpectedly received bags of rice when they could hardly put food on their tables (many don't even have tables for food), your donation gave them hope for a better future. Literally, donations like you...
