Dear Valued Praying Partners,

I pray and hope you all are fine.

Effective Learning & Teaching Serious Training

By God’s grace, Mr. Grahame Kerr and three sisters (Christian School teachers) from Australia conducted the Effective Learning and Teaching Serious training at Southeast Asia Bible College from December 31, 2014 to January 11, 2015. The training was attended by 56 people from different parts of Myanmar. Most of them were University graduates. All of the lessons taught are based on Christ Centered Education. The three teachers (three sisters) are so effective and powerful in their teaching. All of the trainees are tremendously blessed by learning the lessons from those three teachers.

Future Plan and Prayer Requests

Effective Learning and Teaching Serious Class (January 2, 2015)
Effective Learning and Teaching Serious Class (January 2, 2015)

Mr. Grahame and his co-workers (Transform the Nations) plan to found Private Schools (Christ Centered Education) in Yangon. Mr. Grahame is also sharing about the future plan and ELTS Training in other places (towns and villages) in Myanmar. We are so glad and thankful to our Lord for this plan. We Myanmar people really need good education. All foreign missionaries left Myanmar in 1964 (the latest was 1966). Ever since then, no mission school in Myanmar or educational system was changed and became very poor. Myanmar has become especially poor in their English skills (comprehension, speaking, and writing skills). We believe and hope that many children in Myanmar will receive good education through these schools and will have bright futures. Good education will also help the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus Christ. Please pray with us for Mr. Grahame and his co-workers. Please also pray that the Lord will give them wisdom and provide all of their real needs so that they (we) will be able to start private schools in Yangon and other places in Effective Learning & Teaching Serious Class (Jan. 2, 2015) Myanmar. To God be the glory!

Christian Life Training

Christian-Life-Training

Life-Training

This training was held at Hebron Assembly on February 12, 2015. The training was attended by 58 believers. The four pastors/elders taught different topics as follows:

1) Ronnie Tin Maung Tun – The Evidences of God’s Presence 2) Cin Suan Nang – Universal Church & Local Church 3) Khay Kyaing – Breaking of Bread (Communion Service) 4) Kap Cin Thang – Personal Evangelism (Matt. 28:19., 1 Tim. 2:4., Heb. 2:3., Rom. 10:14, 15)

Note from Kap:- If you can call someone (your relative, family member or friend, etc.) who is now in Hell, talking with him/her through your cell phone, do you know what will he say to you? Please think about what the rich man who is in Hell said (Luke 16:19-31).

New Life Training

New Life Training held at Hebron Assembly.

This training was held at Hebron Assembly on the same day (Feb. 12, 2015). There are about 50 people in this training (Gospel meeting). Bro. Saw Le Moe clearly and thoroughly taught them about human nature (sin nature), the holiness of God, the Judgment of God (Rom. 6:23) and the salvation message/the finished work of Christ on the Cross (John 3:16., 19:30., 1 John 1:7., Eph. 2:8, etc.). By the work of the Holy Spirit through the Word of God, 46 of them realized that they all are sinners by birth, cannot get saved by good works and by water baptism, etc, but they can get saved by believing Jesus Christ as his or her personal Savior and Lord (Eph. 2:8., John 1:12, 13). Then they (the 46) accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. They all are so happy. One of them (a woman) said that she was a shame because she had been attending the church for many years, but just now she has clearly understood salvation and has accepted Jesus Christ.

Thank you so much for your prayers and partnership.

Ministry Report of Bro. Sein Tun (alumni of SEABC):

New Converts: By God’s grace, a woman named Mrs. Khu Lar Phaw from Tharketah (from the slum area of Yangon) was a nominal Christian and did not have the assurance of salvation. She trusted her good works for her salvation. When she heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ through bro. Sein Tun (alumni of SEABC), she realized that she was a sinner and her good works could not lead to salvation, but that she receives salvation by believing the finished work of Christ on the cross (John 19:30., Eph. 2:8, 9). She accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior and Lord in last August of 2014. Her husband, Mr. Zaw Linn Oo, was a non-Christian. When he heard the gospel of Jesus Christ, he realized that the only way to escape from hell and get to heaven is JESUS CHRIST. He accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior and Lord in November, 2014. Praise the Lord!

Ministry Report of Bro. Kap Tung Thang (alumni of SEABC)

New Converts: I had the opportunity of sharing the gospel to two young ladies named San Bawi and Huai Pi (unbelievers) in Nakzaang village, on October 7th, 2014. Both of them had never heard the gospel before. When I shared about sin, they realized they were sinners by birth and could not keep the Ten Commandments, the wages of sin is death is hell (Ps. 51:5., Rom. 6:23). When they heard that Jesus Christ paid the wages of their sins and washed away all of their sins with His shedding blood, they were so glad and accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. Both of them told me they now have the assurance of salvation (John 5:24., John 3:16). I (Bro. Kap Tung Thang) taught the salvation to six children in Phaitu village, Chin State on November 14, 2014. All of the childrens’ parents were born again Christians, but these children did not clearly understand salvation yet. When I thoroughly shared the gospel with them, by the work of the Holy Spirit, they all clearly understood they were sinners (Rom. 5:12-14., Rom. 6:23), but Jesus Christ died on the cross for them and rose again on the third day. After knowing this truth and God’s agape love, each one of them invited and accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord (Eph. 2:8., John 3:36). To God be the glory!

New Convert: First of all, I want to give thanks to our Lord for the wonderful opportunity of participating in His ministry. I had a chance to share the gospel to Mr. Moses (over 75 years old) last December, 2014. He lives in Homalin, Sagaing Division. I told him how God saved him (and has saved every sinner) and has given him eternal life as a special and free gift through Jesus Christ. Whosoever believes in Him receives eternal life. Mr. Moses came to realize that he was a sinner and falls short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23). He accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior and Lord! I also had the wonderful opportunity of distributing the Gospel tracts to unbelievers.

Christmas Gospel Meeting: I (Bro. Pau Kho Ngam) also had a privilege of preaching the Gospel on Christmas Day (Dec. 25th, 2014) in Homalin. God freely gives eternal life to anyone who believes that the finished work of Christ on the Cross is for himself/herself (John 3:16). By God’s grace, Mr. Win Zaw, who is a non-Christian, came to faith in Christ. He said that “I am now a new creature in Christ” (2 Cor. 5:17).

Ministry Report of Bro. Saw Regan (alumni of SEABC) from Htay Soe-pya village, Kayah State:

New Converts: I shared the gospel to Maung Shwe Khe, Maung Bo Phyu, Maung Le Di Htoo and Maung Roe, who is a son of the local authority named Mr. Bu Ye. My wife shared the Gospel to Ms. Chit Myat Noo and Ms. Naw Daw Ris Tun. By God’s grace. Both of them accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. Ms. Chit Myat Noo took believer’s baptism (water baptism) on Oct. 5, 2014. I also shared the gospel to a young man called Maung Naing Oo and a young lady named Ms. De De on Dec. 14, 2014. Both of them realized that they were sinners and could not keep the ten commandments and will go to hell when they die. But, Jesus Christ died in their place and if they believe Him to be their personal Savior and Lord, they will be saved. When both of them heard the truth, they accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. Praise the Lord!

Report from Mr. Peter Mana Phay (alumni of SEABC):

Christmas Evangelistic Meeting (Crusade): The Lord has answered our prayers that we held the evangelistic meeting at Mae Yang village, Shan State, on December 20th, 2014 (from 6:30pm – 8:30pm). We invited some young Christians to sing special numbers / Christmas songs and they participated. By God’s grace, the meeting was attended by over 500 people. I (Mr. Mana Phay) preached the Gospel and I am so glad that all the audience carefully listened to the message. Though we have not seen the result of the Crusade, the seed of the gospel had been sown into their hearts. Let’s pray together for the salvation of those people (almost all of them are unbelievers).

Report from Bro. Thang Suan Khai (alumni of SEABC):

Christmas Celebration in Kyaiklatt, Delta area): By God’s grace, we also held another special Christmas program for children in Kyaiklatt town on Dec. 20. There are about 50 children (non-Christians) including some other young ladies in this program. Four students from Southeast Asia Bible College and I participated in this program. We shared about the love of God and His Great Salvation. We had some puppets and toys for the children. They were so happy and enjoyed the program. After the program, we all had dinner together. Thank you so much for all your prayers and supports.

Thank you so much for all your continued prayers and partnership in the Lord’s ministry that we are doing in the Buddhist land of Myanmar.

To God be the glory!
