Road of Resistance

With all the urgency of fundraising and training, I've been bad about posting about the actual cause we're biking for.  I posted this documentary last year before I left, but it's the best visual for showing people what the refugees we're riding for are experiencing. (note: this documentary was not made by Venture, but it is about the same cause and people we're biking for)

In short, the documentary talks about the situation in Burma and "the road" that they must travel in order to reach the Thailand boarder.  While the video is a few years old, things really haven't changed much since.  It's important to remember that this is the longest running civil war in the history of the world, so this is what these people have been experiencing since about World War II.  

Even though it's hard to see, I really encourage you to set aside 40 minutes to watch.  Once you're done watching, I encourage you to take a moment and just pray for the situation in this region (Thailand/Burma boarder). 

**Warning: the video is graphic in parts, so watch with caution.**

Isaiah 1:17 

Learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.

I'll probably post again on Sunday about what's been happening here lately, so stay tuned. :)

Blessings,
