Four evangelists from the far north in Putao made a four-day trip in a truck to assist with the Earthquake Relief project. The truck was filled with 1000 grapefruit. This was a gift of love collected from some of the very poor farmers in the Putao area. This crop represents their harvest of a precious commodity in their country. It was delightfully received, and it added nutrition and vitamins to the diets of the victims of the earthquake. This was a very meaningful outpouring of love. This grapefruit project was initiated in 1955 by J Russell Morse who imported grapefruit and other citrus to Burma to serve a similar need for vitamins at that time. This fruit is the product of that project many years ago and grapefruit are now a treasure to people in Myanmar.
