update 15/05/08This week, the BMS website brings news and views about parts of the Middle East and Asia that are experiencing especially demanding times.
Since the cyclone in Burma, we've been bringing you daily updates on how BMS has been able to respond with relief grants. We've also produced a second, updated PowerPoint presentation that you can use in your church this Sunday.
With personnel and partners based in Beirut, we have three articles from Lebanon as the situation intensifies there. You can also read personal reflections on a pro-Palestine march in London last weekend in which BMS staff members participated, and our response following the huge earthquake in China this week.
