‘I Felt the Love of ******’: Refugees Flee War in Myanmar, Find Peace and Freedom

MAE SOT, Thailand — Since the 2021 military coup in Myanmar, pro-democracy militias and armed ******* groups have been rebelling, taking control of different parts of the country. As fierce fighting between these groups and the Myanmar junta continues, thousands flee to surrounding borders including the border town of Mae Sot in Thailand. 

A young wife and mother, Kyu Kyu Thin, shares how jet fighters ******* at their village wounded her husband and forced the family to run for their lives. Fortunately, they escaped together to a civil defense camp in the jungle. She told CBN News their horrifying experience. “It was very scary especially for our little boy. Our village was being bombed every day, our houses burned and our neighbors were getting *******. We rode a bus and traveled 12 hours. Then we crossed to Mae Sot town, in Thailand to live in a ******** camp.” Four months since their escape, Kyu Kyu, her husband, and their 2-year-old son remain at the Thai ******** camp. According to Pastor Moses Kyaw Htay, head of the ******* of *******, these refugees have now become ******* members.

In 2008, Pastor Moses, a Burmese native, married a Thai woman and moved to Mae Sot.  Filled with compassion towards his own people, he started the Burmese ******* with the help of ********* missionaries.

“In Burma, they are homeless, hopeless. No education. No good for survival. We saw their problem. Somebody have no food. What we have in our house, we share. We show ****’s love. Then later, we share the gospel. They accept the Word of ****. They believe ****** as their Lord and Savior,” Pastor Moses Kyaw Htay said.

Kyu Kyu shared how the ******* not only cared for them but also introduced them to ******. “It was the first time I heard about ******, in the ******** village. I believed right away because I felt the love of ****** through the people from the *******. I am six months pregnant and they bring me to the hospital for my free check-up.” Raised as Buddhists, Kyu Kyu and her husband testified how they learned the difference between praying to ****** rather than Buddha.

Soe Thu Aung, Kyu Kyu’s husband, said, “The **** of the Buddhist is only an idol. But **** here, ******, ***** and rose again to save the people, to save me. He is alive because he can hear my prayer. I prayed for work and after a few days, I got a job.”

Kyu Kyu also said, “I am a ******** but **** saved me. I am thankful to **** because now I know that our family has a good future.”

While no one knows the future of Myanmar, one positive result from the war is how a growing number of refugees now know ****** ******* and can enjoy true peace and freedom.
