Where are the Garratts now?

They are back in SE Asia.

The Garratts and their Nation to Nation team now focus on vulnerable conflict-distressed communities in Myanmar.

Myanmar

​The Myanmar people are suffering in horrible ways as the crisis continues to escalate. Inflation is up 35% in a month, banks are closed. There is violence and conflict on the streets, and the internet and cell phone data is inaccessible. The poor are crying out for food and water as many find their access cut off. Some can’t even return to the IDP (internally displaced people) camps because of blocked roads.

    We have read Two Tears On The Pillow and it was very sad to read that book about how they were treated in China. We are so glad they got home along with the two Michaels. I have prayed for them many times especially when they were mentioned on the news. God never leaves us or forsakes us. PTL
