Kevin and Julia Garrat and their Nation to Nation team are our Hope International partners in Myanmar.
A message from Kevin and Julia
“Our Nation to Nation team focuses on vulnerable conflict-distressed communities in Myanmar. Nation to Nation offers a powerful Christian hope message along with vocational training & replicable, sustainable ‘seed to market’ solutions with coffee, soy, and clean water systems, they partner with nationals to make a lasting difference.
Our 30 years in community development work in China ended in 2014 with abduction and false imprisonment. Pawns in a Canada/China geopolitical dispute, the 775-day ordeal as hostages & Chinese prison is recounted their captivating story of resilience and hope called Two Tears on the Window.”
WHAT WE DO
URGENT COVID-19 Relief and Food Aid
“We trust in God during these days. Most of our people need support for life survival because of COVID-19 calamity. Ordinary people who do not have daily jobs are suffering a lot for food. Urgent needs include rice, oil, eggs, beans & noodles.” — Myanmar co-worker shares his heart-
