We provided food medicine and spiritual training to Internally Displaced People IDPs throughout Burma including the following states: Karen Karenni Kachin Chin and Shan state. We had the opportunity to provide aid to IDPs seeking refuge from the Burma Army attacks. While doing this teams came together to provide medical care and spiritual care for those in need. Setting up in the jungle in difficult circumstances our medics were able to provide lifesaving care to thousands of people. We conducted our ranger training program and advanced ranger program again this year. We then send teams out to go on mission throughout Burma. Each team has a medic trained to diagnose and treat the medical problems of internally displaced people living in Burma. We also continued to support our Jungle School of Medicine Kawthoolei JSMK during 2024. Through the JSMK program FTO provides medical care to IDPs as well as trains future medics & doctors. For our teams in Karen State FBRs medic training is conducted at the JSMK. Established in 2011 JSMK trains approximately 25 medics each year in a 15-month course of study. JSMK provides care for patients from the nearby villages with some patients coming from further away. JSMK also manages surgical emergencies such as ectopic pregnancy. The inpatient department has 12 beds which are often full. This year we successfully started a mass blood typing project for all Rangers. Blood saves lives when it comes to trauma medicine Part of our spiritual training program includes something called the Good Life Club program. It is a vital part of caring for those in need. It is through these GLC programs that we are able to provide safety education uplifting songs fun games and we share the gospel to thousands of men women and children impacted both physically & spiritually by the war. Free the Oppressed served the families in the villages throughout Burma with Good Life Club Programs. Overall our FBR mission is going to where the need is greatest. In Burma this is often in the frontlines during active fighting. We go to bring help hope and love through medical care and evacuate the injured civilians and soldiers to casualty collection points. We pray with them provide food and water and treat their wounds. Every year we lose brave men and women Rangers at sacrifice their lives to love their brothers and sisters caught in the mist of conflict. During 2024 we lost five amazing Rangers.

We also followed up with 15 young patients suffering from congenital heart diseases; we found some families are struggling to access or afford the complex surgeries their children need. In Syria one of the most devastated families we encountered consisted of four members who were sick three of whom face serious life-threatening conditions. We provided the father with medications for three months and some financial support for his next chemotherapy session as well as set up consultations for the other family members to see medical specialists. In addition to providing physical care we also offered emotional and spiritual support through our gospel formation and spiritual support program. We created a safe space for individuals and families to share their stories offering a listening ear a shoulder to cry on and prayer for those who welcomed it. Our team also conducted Good Life Club programs for children where we sang songs in English Kurdish and Norwegian played games shared Bible stories using colorful bracelets and distributed Lion and Lamb stuffed animals that play music and Bible stories in Kurdish.
