By leading the Lord we have been able to hold the 7th graduation ceremony since January 2018, 11 students are graduated, and the Lord sent forth them out to new Mission fields as the missionary, pastor and His witness. The Scripture says in Romans 10:14-15 “How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things”. I want to train thousands of youths for discipleship for reaching the Buddhists with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is a burden for me that God has given in my life. The Gospel is our Nation Hope.
And also we have had the training to the Buddhists and 6 Buddhists came to faith in Christ as they believe and accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord, and 9 young peoples are converted. And they are taking water baptism. I am greatly rejoiced in the Lord and encouraged by this Bible version as inspiration to me for how to love the lost soul found in (Mk 8:36-37) For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? Jesus came down from Heaven to the earth and died on the cross for the lost to be found and to be saved. I want all my Burmese brothers and sisters to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and to be saved.
Once again I’ve greatly rejoiced in the Lord for He has led us to reach more Buddhists with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and have teaching/preaching programs in their village where over 4000 peoples there. And then there are more new believers, and they are fully occupied in a prayer meeting at John’s home church. But unexpectedly some of Buddhists elders evil against brother John who is living among them as a missionary.
They tried to find his fault that they might prosecute him, so that John may work no more in this field to them. Nevertheless, they found nothing of his fault. Some new believers said even though other people said to us that is your Christian God in John home, we must go there and worship the living God. And also even though other peoples said to us that if you die, where you would be buried, we would be buried under our home. It is no problem for us to bury in anywhere but we don’t want to bury our dead body to Buddhists seminary for burning.
This new orphan boy is rescued from Buddhists background. We asked him and the one who knew about him that how his age can be 13 though he is very small. They said he was without food many times because no one cared him. But now I want him to grow up in the fear of the Lord and in the excellent knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and become a faithful servant for Christ as a native missionary. When a child is rescued and saved, this is the Bible verse for my unspoken joy in the Lord. Assuredly I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist, but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he(Mt 11:11).
A Testimony: When I started the ministry by faith since May 26, 2006, I and my family were gathered together in my renting home for prayer meeting. The house owners rejected us again and again, and we moved home to home. But my faith family members are more and more year after year. So now the Lord has given many more peoples who are worshiping Him in the truth and in the spirit. And now we are fully occupied in our prayer meeting room. Some are sitting and some are standing outside because they have no place to sit/to stand in the inside. Indeed this building is not church building but orphans hope home. we use the upper room for church prayer meetings. This is my vision and prayer for God to give 500 peoples who to be praising and glorifying Him, who to gather together for a prayer meeting in our Mission center church.
In every time, and in every situation, God has been so good to me, to my family and to our Mission. His Mission is our Mission.
Let’s together change the world with the Love of Christ.
