"GO INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOOD NEWS TO ALL CREATION" (MARK 16:15).: Violent Cyclone Nagis Hit in in Myanmar

FUTURE SERVANTS OF GOD FOR THE COUNTRY OF MYANMAR

There are young people from Myanmar who are studying the Word of God in different Seminaries in the Philippines. Most of them have no sponsors and they are facing financial problem. However, they never give up. They continue doing the best for the LORD. They all have a great burden for Myanmar people to receive the Salvation of God. They also have the visions to build and extend the kingdom God by their different gifts according to God has given them. They are not only pursuing to receive a higher academic degree, but also they are actively involving in the various ministries. Since 1987, Myanmar students have been meeting in houses for prayer and fellowship. They have Philippines Myanmar Christian Fellowship in Manila and Baguio Cities.

I had an opportunity to visit Philippines Baptist Theological Seminary in Baguio City where most of the Myanmar students are studying the Word of God. This school is one the best Bible Seminaries in Baguio City. In that Seminary, I had an opportunity to fellowship with Myanmar students. Most of them are friends of mine. They came from different denominations, but they have no prejudice on other denominations. They are sharing their experiences, difficulties, problems, hardships and blessings to each other. They have a regular worship on every Sunday. They are doing the best for the LORD as much as they can. Let's we encourage them by praying and supporting finance. I really thank God for their willingness and commitment to serve the LORD. I hope, one day they all will become the servants of God in Myanmar. I am sure that one day, they will become great leaders who pass on to the Gospel message to the next generation.

Violent Cyclone Nagis Hit in in Myanmar

Violent Cyclone Nagis hit in in Myanmar

MAY 03,2008

Most people in Yangon did not believe the weather forecast news about Cyclone because they had no experience on it. They only saw and knew concerning the violent storm in TV, movies, photos and news papers. Before the cyclone, the government TV was announced the weather news. However, everybody did not think that cyclone would be strong. They thought it is just a blowing wind. Consequently, there were severely damaged in Two divisions and Three States in Myanmar after the cyclone. Nearly 20 millions people experienced the difficult situations in their lives. Even though, the cyclone hit only 12 hours, the devastation was so big in the cyclone effected areas. After the cyclone, every view points in that areas were totally changed. So many people were missing, many people were died, many tree were blocked the houses and roads, many houses were became roofless and even the advertisement sign boards were fell down.

Historically, this cyclone was very strong in Myanmar over100 years . Approximately over 70,000 people were died and over 1.5 millions people in Irrayawady Division have urgently needed shelters, foods, clothes, and clean water.
Half of my church, and our four stores multipurpose building's roofs with beams were flew away by Cyclone Nagis. Over 20 churches under our denomination in the cyclone effected areas were almost totally destroyed by it. Now, we are helping those churches by praying, encouraging, and supporting finances.

Please pray for our relief and development program and reconstruction of the collapsed churches in the cyclone effected areas. Thank you very much for your prayer and partnership for this mission projects.
