Dear Valued Praying Partners,
Christian Leaders Retreat:
As we have Bible students from over 28 different ethnic groups from different evangelical churches in Myanmar, I had the wonderful opportunity of teaching and preaching the Word of God at the Christian Leaders Retreat held by the Rawang Baptist Convention (Evangelical) in Putao, Kachin State from January 8th through the 13th, 2016. The retreat was attended by over 120 Christian Leaders (full time pastors, missionaries, Sunday School teachers, women leaders, etc.). The theme of the retreat was “…and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.” (Rev. 3:18).
Evening Worship Service:
There was a worship service every evening from 6:30pm – 8:30pm. Some other people from the town of Putao attended the service. Dr. Mung from Faith Baptist Theological Seminary, Yangon and I preached the Word of God at the service. Different groups from Rawang Baptist Convention joyfully sang very beautiful and sweat songs and action songs in different languages such as Jingphaw, Rawang, Lisu, Burmese, etc.
Weather:
The weather was very cold (4 C), windy, but no snow. I am wearing a jacket which I got from a believer in Chicago back in 1996 when I studied there.
Additional Updates
Below is a picture of a man who is reaching Tibetans with the gospel. Very few Tibetans are living at the foothill of Hkakaburari Mountain, Kachin State, Myanmar.
Thank you so much for your continued prayers.
Serving together for Christ,
Kap (Kap Cin Thang)
