"In the Buddhist nation of Burma (also called Myanmar), military forces have been targeting Christians on a massive scale. In the northern Kachin state—which is predominantly Christian—approximately 400 villages and 300 churches have been destroyed, hundreds of Christians have been killed, and more than 120,000 of the Kachin people have been displaced. In the southern Karen state, which also is predominantly Christian, more than 100,000 Karen people have fled across the border to squalid refugee camps in Thailand. Yet, in spite of this hostility to followers of the Cross, Burmese people are coming to Christ out of Buddhism. (via

Way to Pray: Please pray for God’s grace for these persecuted brothers and sisters to remain strong for Jesus.
After serving twenty-six years in Europe (many of which were spent in Athens, Greece, serving refugees), the McCracken family transitioned to life in America. Since moving back to the states in 2013, Scott and two other One Collective (formerly iTeams) members started a ministry that focuses on the holistic transformation of the "at-risk" community of Rockwood in Portland, OR. Scott also helps raise awareness about Child Sex Trafficking through presentations in schools, churches, and civic groups. With 88 languages spoken in Rockwood, the McCrackens and their team have a vision to see life in the Kingdom come to the nations in Rockwood and beyond. Scott and Vicki have five children. The youngest two, Will and Ellie, are still at home with them.
Way to Pray: The McCrackens are excited to see that several churches of different denominations and ethnicities within the Rockwood Community are coming together to serve and worship. Please pray for the Rockwood Christian Community to continue to unite and serve well those in their community who might not know Jesus.
