Praying Partners – January Newsletter #48 (D)

#5. Report from Bro. Tial Tawng (South Dagon, Yangon Division):

By the grace of God, I had the wonderful privilege of teaching the Salvation to some young people between October 28th and 29th, 2015. Three of them accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. Praise the Lord!

Jesus transforms the hearts of those who accept Him as their personal Savior.

Christmas Gospel Meeting:

We held a Christmas Gospel meeting on December 25th, 2015. The meeting was attended by about 200 people and most of them were non-Christians. I preached the Christmas story and the Salvation message. I pray and hope the seed of the Word of God has been sown in many hearts of the hearers. Let’s pray together that those hearers of the Gospel will come to faith in Jesus Christ for their eternal salvation.

We had a Christmas Celebration especially for children on December 24th, 2015. Most of them were Buddhist kids. Sister Thwe Thwe San (Alumni of SEABC) shared about the Christmas story, the love of God and Salvation to those lovely kids. We gave Christmas presents to each kid. We are so thankful and grateful to our Lord for providing all the needs for this program.

Prayer Requests:
1) For the spiritual growth of those three new converts;
2) For the effectiveness of the Gospel outreach and church planting
we are doing.

#6. Report from Sister Hte Le Phaw (Kyauksuh, Kaya State):

Gospel Meeting for Children:

Sister June Rose (alumni of SEABC) and I conducted a Gospel Meeting for children at Kyauk-suh village, Kayah State on December 7th, 2015. We shared about the history of Christmas to the children. Jesus Christ left His throne in heaven and came down to the sinful world to take a human form and solve the problem of sin for all the peoples of the world (Rom. 5:12-14., 3:10, 19., 6:23., John 19:30).

A children gospel meeting was held in Kayah State.

Worship Service:

We usually have worship service every Sunday in a small house where my family lives. I used to visit our neighbors and villagers, share about the Gospel and pray for them. Many more villagers and neighbors are interested in the love of God and His Salvation. Please continue to pray for the salvation of the villagers who are animists, nominal Christians and Roman Catholics.

#7. Report from Bro. Bo Mana Ling (Mindat, Southern
Chin State):

Learn more about gospel trips occurring in the town of Mindat.

The Lord wonderfully blessed the personal evangelism I have been doing in Eastside of Mindat town. Four young people (3 young men & one young lady) heard the Gospel through me and two of them accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. Two of them named Mr. Ypung Len and Mr. Moe Lyn took Water Baptism on December 5th, 2015.

Gospel Trips:

I had Gospel trips to some villages and had the opportunity of preaching the Gospel. Many people in those areas need to hear the pure Gospel message. Most of them believe that salvation is received through good works or by faith in Christ and good works. Actually, the Bible says that we are not saved by good works but by grace alone to do good works (Eph. 2:8-9).

Prayer Requests:
1) For the spiritual growth of those two new converts;
2) For the effectiveness of doing Gospel outreach;
3) For the Lord’s protection when we start worship service at my rental house;
4) Health for my wife and my daughter.

#8. Report from Bro. Thang Suan Khai (Kyaiklatt, Delta Area):

Christmas Gospel Meeting:

A gospel meeting was held and many people who attended were Buddhists.

Seven students from Southeast Asia Bible College, brother Kap Do Nang from Pyapon and I (Brother Khai) conducted a Christmas Celebration and Gospel Meeting in Kyaiklatt on December 12th, 2015. Most of the audience were Buddhists. The Bible students sang Christmas hymns and taught Christmas stories to the children. I led the meeting, a Bible student named Nanda Lin shared about his testimony and brother Kap Do Nang preached the Gospel. After the Gospel meeting, we all had lunch fellowship together. Please pray for the salvation of those Buddhists.

Personal Evangelism and Distributing Gospel Tracts:

As the Lord opens ways for me, I reached some non-Christians with the Gospel and distributed Gospel tracts to many more people in the town. Humanly speaking, it is indeed difficult to win non-Christians (type – B) for Christ. But, we know Salvation is of the Lord and faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Please pray with me for those non-Christians that they may know the Living God who is the Creator and believe Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord.

Prayer Requests:
1) For the great Gospel revival in this town Kyaiklatt and in all of Myanmar;
2) That the Lord will provide a motorcycle I indeed need for the Lord’s work.

Thank you so much for your partnership in the Lord’s Kingdom ministry.

Your co-worker,
Thang Suan Khai
