Summer Youth Camp was held in Tachileik, Shan State on April 13-16, 2017. The Camp was joyfully attended by 218 youths. The Camp was organized and led by Pastor Meng Hau, some SEABC students and church leaders. The Camp leaders powerfully preached and taught the
Gospel especially for those who did not have the assurance of Salvation; Christians living for those who are already true born again believers. By God’s grace, some of the young peoples came to faith in Jesus Christ and 17 of them were baptized (Believer’s Water baptism). Bro. Awl Lian (SEBC alumni) is one of the leaders and they plan to hold a Gospel Meeting/New Life Training for one week at a village in this month May. Please pray with us for the Gospel revival that many lost souls who are heading to Hell will turn to Eternal Heaven by accepting Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord (John 14:6; John 3:16; Heb. 2:3).

We need your continuous prayers for the follow up works for the spiritual growth of those kids who accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. And also please pray with us for the Gospel Outreach we are doing together
(SEABC & CEF Kalay Town) and the Salvation of millions of Children especially in the Buddhist Land of Myanmar. Thank you so much for your prayers and partnerships in the Lord’s ministry.

Gospel Trip: Alan-ok
Missionary brother Kap Do Nang, some other believers and I had a Gospel trip to Alan-ok, Irrawaddy Division for two days last March. We preached the Gospel to unbelievers and some nominal Christians. Some of them realized that salvation cannot be earned by human efforts but by the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. BUT they did not make decision to accept Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. Please pray with us for the salvation of those who have heard the Gospel.

Summer Youth Camp in Kale town:
By the grace of God, I had the wonderful opportunity of getting involved in the Summer Youth Camp held in Kale town from March 28 – April 1st, 2016. The camp was attended by over 200 young people. I led small groups and taught the Gospel to some young people who did not have the assurance of Salvation, and Christian life to those who already have the assurance of salvation. By God’s grace, more than 50 of the campers accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord during the camp.

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.

Children Christmas:
Christmas celebration for children (mostly Buddhist children)
We had a Christmas Celebration especially for children on December 24th, 2015. Most of them were Buddhist kids.

We are so thankful and grateful to our Lord for providing all the needs for this program.
Prayer Requests:

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).

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):
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:
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.

Report from Bro. Pau Sian Mang (Tonzang, Chin State):
Brother Pau Sian Mang teaching the Gospel
I conducted a Gospel meeting (specifically for ladies) in November, 2015. Over 30 people attended the meeting. Out of those people, 17 accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord and two women shared their testimonies. I also had the opportunity to reach three leaders of Roman Catholic Church with the Gospel and two of them accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. The other one said that he will ask their Bishop about what Salvation means. Those two new converts want to join us on Sunday worship service but they are afraid of their family members who are strong Roman Catholics. Please pray with us for the spiritual growth of those two new converts and for the salvation of the other one.
