Dear Valued Praying Partners,

As you’ve read in an earlier blog post, just as a recap, the 7th Biennial Commencement was held on December 19, 2015 between 10:00am and 12:00pm at Hebron Assembly Hall in Yangon. By God’s grace, 31 students graduated. We distinguished guests from the United States. These guests were: Mr. Joel Hernandez, Mr. Nolan Dittmar, Mr. Brent Cooper, and a brother named Chris
Chen from Malaysia. I (Kap) did the welcome and remarks. Mr. Hernandez preached the commencement address, Mr. Dittmar did the charge to the graduates, and Mr. Cooper did a special prayer for the graduates. The Commencement was attended by around 400 people. After the Commencement, we all had lunch fellowship. Thank you very much for all your prayers for the Commencement. To God be the glory!

Give thanks with us to the Lord for:

1) Enabling us to successfully hold the 7th Biennial Commencement
2) The graduates who completely finished their four-year program
3) God’s provisions for the Bible College through His peoples
4) Special guests from abroad

Prayer Requests:

1) For the graduates and alumni of SEA Bible College that they may be faithful followers of Christ and
doing His Great Commission
2) For the continuous effectiveness of the teaching ministry of SEA Bible College
3) For partners of SEA Bible College
