Dear valued praying partners,

I pray and hope you are fine. By God’s grace, the Bible College is going well and the students and faculty members are fine. Thank you so much for your continued prayers and partnership in the teaching and equipping ministry of SEA Bible College.

SEABC Students’ Gospel Outreach Ministry:

The SEABC students usually have Gospel Outreach Ministry every weekend. They used to go to rail stations and the seaport where they could reach hundreds of people by sharing the Gospel and distributing Gospel tracts. The Student body is divided into four groups – Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each group used to go to a children’s home in Shwepyethar to teach songs, share their testimonies, and preach the Word of God at Sunday worship service. Learn more about the gospel outreach ministry here.

SEABC Bible Games and Variety Shows:

The SEA Bible College Students had Bible Games, Variety Shows and Competitions (Group song, Quartet, Trio, Duet, Solo, Drama, Bible Quiz, Memory verses, and etc.) at the Chapel Hall on August 14th, 2015. All the students joyfully participated in the programs.

Bible Distribution:

By God’s grace, we have the wonderful opportunity of doing Christian Literature Ministry. Our missionaries and bible students freely distribute some books and bibles to different places in Myanmar. And, we sell some of them to believers who can afford to pay for some parts of the actual cost. Learn more about bible distribution here.

Mission Trips to Mandalay, Pyapon, and Kyaiklatt:

Elder Ah Asiau, a couple and bro. Kap had a mission trip to Mandalay from August 19th through August 21st, 2015. We visited missionary bro. tin Htay in Mandalay and had a Gospel meeting in the evening. About 4 of the attendees accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord.

Flood Relief Works:

Heavy rains, landslides and floods severely damaged many houses in some towns and villages, as well as bridges and rice fields in around 12 States / Divisions (out of 14 States/Divisions) in Myanmar in the first week of August. Because of severe landslides, especially in Chin State (Hakha town; some villages such as Taahzang, Kahgen, Vongmual, Khamzang, Nakzang, etc.) many people had to move to refugee camps and still need to build new houses in new places/areas. By God’s grace, the Lord graciously allowed us to help some flood/landslide victims. We bought rice and distributed it to thousands of the flood victims in Kale, Nakzang, Taahzang, Khamzaang, Kahgen, Vongmual, Khampat, Hakha-lay, Tuikhing-zaang, etc. We are so thankful to the Lord for the Stewards Ministries (USA), CMML (USA), EOS (UK) and believers who worked with us for the flood victims. Learn more about our flood relief works here.

Prayer Requests:

1) Please continue to pray with us for the Flood Relief works we are doing;
2) Please pray for God’s protection, provisions, and the effectiveness of the teaching/equipping ministry of the Bible College (SEABC). Thank you so much for all your prayers and partnerships. To God be the glory!

Serving together for Christ,

Flood Relief Works in Myanmar

Terry Outreach Ministry November 9, 2015May 17, 2016bible, Flood Relief Works, Ministry, Myanmar, Outreach, Student Life

Because of the flooding and landslides that have occurred in Myanmar, towns such as Hakha, Chin State, Kale, Sagaing Division, and villages such as Nakzaang, Taahzaang, Khamzaang, Kahgen, Vongmual, Hakha-lay, Tuikkhingzaang, Khampat, and more have been damaged / wiped out. As a result, people have had to move to other places. The flooding and landslides have also damaged many bridges and roads, which has made transportation very difficult.

Below are some of the flood victims and the villages that were affected by the flood / landslides:

Below you can find pictures of the flooding and the flood relief works in Myanmar that have been achieved by three faculty members, one student from Southeast Asia Bible College, as well as one deacon from Canaan Gospel Church. Together, they formed a Relief Committee to do the flood relief works in Myanmar as the Lord has enabled them to do. By God’s grace, they have gotten funds from other believers and were able to help over thousands of flood victims with food (mostly rice) in over ten places (3 towns and 8 villages)! Praise God! We pray and plan to continue to do the flood relief works in Myanmar.
