The latest reports indicate more than 3,600 people have died and more than 17 million have been affected (UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs).

Compassion Thailand National Director, Harry Wathittayakul, shares, “So far, the children who are sponsored in our programmes are unaffected, and our church pastors are making contact with their respective families.”

Please pray for

• The ongoing rescue efforts in both countries. Compassion’s local partners have mobilised and are actively providing emergency aid to vulnerable children and families in the hardest-hit areas.

• Children and families experiencing grief and loss.

• Affected communities facing widespread devastation, especially as the monsoon season approaches.

Some short prayers to guide you

Father God, We lift up all those affected by the earthquake in Myanmar and Thailand. For families who are grieving, injured, or facing uncertainty, we ask for comfort and strength. May those who are mourning be supported, and those who are displaced find shelter and care. Amen.

Loving Lord, We pray for effective and timely relief. For food, clean water, and medical help to reach every person in need. Give wisdom to those leading the response, and strength to the teams working around the clock to bring safety and support to affected communities. Amen.

God of All Comfort, We give thanks that our local partners are safe and able to respond. As they continue to provide emergency care, we pray for their protection and encouragement. May their work bring hope, restore dignity, and remind every person affected that they are not alone. Amen.
