"The study is divided into three parts: Part One is a discussion on brief history of civil war in Myanmar especially in Kachin State, the past experiences of the Church in pastoral and evangelizing communication in Kachin State and the current life situation of the Kachin refugees. In Part Two, we present the concept of refugees from the Church documents and social teaching of the Church, and. the Church’s approach of Pastoral and Evangelizing Communication. Part three is a discussion on how the Church responds to the pastoral needs of the refugees and it also proposes some qualifications of communicators that the Church ministers would be able to respond effectively to the needs of the Kachin refugees."
