			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All of you guys in business know that you can have the best product in the world, but if you can’t get it to market it’s worse than useless. In fact, if we can’t build distribution channels for products and services we’re pretty much O.O.B. (out of business).</p>
<p>So it is with the work God calls all Christians to do: Trust the Lord Jesus Christ for our salvation. Go fish for men. Share the gospel. Feed the hungry; clothe the naked; give drink to the thirsty; be merciful; act in humility. There they are. The services of God distributed through the living channel of regular people like us.</p>
<p>Sometimes, though, the most elaborate distribution channels just don’t work. In Myanmar (Burma), the bigger the infrastructure the more impossible it is to use! Politics and geography make it so obvious that we are not in control. All the organizations of might – armies, navies, big benevolence organizations – all are struggling to fulfill a humanitarian mission in Myanmar.</p>
<p>What’s needed is a huge network of money moving toward the disaster, safely delivered directly to people who know the needs of their village, managed by trustworthy people. What’s needed is a broad, effective, simple infrastructure, provided in the heart languages of Myanmar, ready to serve in place in the country, composed of thousands of indigenous people in the cyclone-struck areas.</p>
<p>This simple-to-operate network exists in Myanmar and around the world! The network has been constructed by God and EvanTell, a ministry of gospel trainers and tellers headquartered in Dallas, TX. Founded thirty-five years ago by Dr. R. Larry Moyer, EvanTell focuses on a single thing: equipping people around the world to share the gospel clearly and simply, building networks of Christians who help each other. They build networks of people to do it – just like Paul did! Around the world EvanTell’s network delivers five million gospel presentations each year! Gospel materials in 55+ languages make it easy to share.</p>
<p>The result of this 35-year effort is something that only God and single-minded people could build – a network of millions of people built on the concepts of multiplication and compounding. All of us in business know what that means – leverage – every dollar spent in mission and disaster relief is compounded in the network.</p>
<p>Think about it. Indigenous missionaries on the ground serve today in Myanmar’s physical, emotional, and spiritual relief effort, each one living in an area where they know their neighbors, co-workers, and friends.</p>
<p>EvanTell is using this network in Myanmar right now. They can get the money, message, and relief materiel distributed through the 67 Gospel Trainers and 16,000 trained people they have in Myanmar. They cannot be stopped at the airport or anywhere else! They use their expertise in the language, geography, and partnerships in the cyclone-hit area. EvanTell can reach them and they can reach their friends and family and co-workers. The network is PEOPLE, just in the days of Christ. It’s working right now right where the agony is…</p>
<p>Donate money. That’s what they need in Myanmar right now. They need to buy rice, water, generators, gasoline, bamboo for structure building, tarps to close roofs, and labor. The network will carry the money in and the 67 trainers will work with EvanTell to oversee distribution. And it will work. Just as Christians have always worked in hard, remote, suffering places. Face to face, hand to hand, heart to heart.</p>
<p>Trust the network of grace. Call your buddies. Match your employee contributions. Go to <a href="http://myanmarresponse.org" title="Myanmar Response Website" target="_blank">MyanmarResponse.org</a> and get your cash into the compounding network NOW; it costs so little to save a life in Myanmar today.</p>
