Church Planting in Phaya-gyi, Yangon Division

We have Sunday School program and Youth program on every Sunday. And we also have Home-cell on Wednesday night and Friday night.

My wife (Moe Pale Win) and I help the education of some children in the village by running home tuition (free of charges). By doing this, we can get to know some parents of the kids and we get the opportunity of reaching them with the Gospel.

By God’s grace, we time to time visit older people in the village and give small gifts such as blanket, oil, clothing, etc., and pray for them. By showing the God’s love (Agape) especially to those older people, they welcome us and I used to share about the Gospel.

Bicentennial Thanksgiving Celebration

The first American foreign missionaries Dr. Adoniram and Ann Judson arrived in Yangon, Myanmar on July 13, 1813. Thousands of Christians from different parts of Myanmar and some from USA joyfully held the Bicentennial Thanksgiving Celebration in Yangon from Dec. 5-8, 2013. Dr Adoniram Judson has had a great impact on Christians in Myanmar, and we do not have adequate words to express our sincere thankfulness to him and his family. They left their comfortable home, possessions and loved ones to come to an unknown, ignorant and uncivilized people, and identified with those people so that they might win them for Christ. To God be the glory!

By the grace of God, the sixth Biennial Graduation was joyfully held on Dec. 13, 2013 at 1:00pm – 3:30pm at Judson Church Building, Yangon University Campus.

By God’s grace, 136 students had graduated within twelve years (from 2002 to 2013) and almost all of them are serving the Lord as evangelists, pastors, missionaries, Bible teachers, Sunday School teachers, directors of children ministry, Christian books translators, etc. To God be the glory!
