Dear Praying partners,

The students had the first semester final exams from Sept. 15-19. By God’s grace, we finished the first semester of the Bible school on Sept. 19, 2014 and celebrated a thanksgiving service and fellowship dinner at the school on that day. We are now already stepping into the second week of the second semester. I am very glad to see the spiritual growth of the students. Thank you so much for your continued prayers and supports for the teaching ministry of the Bible school.

Group Presentation in the Class:

We teach over 60 subjects within four years. We not only emphasize on theological courses and Bible Knowledge but also emphasize on Discipleship Course (Christian Life) and Practical ministry course. We teach and encourage our students that theology and their character must go hand in hand and it must be also followed by practical ministry. The Motto is “The Word of God is for Head, Heart, and Hands.” We usually ask the students to come before the class for presentation.

Personal Evangelism Class:

By God’s grace, I (bro. Kap) have the opportunity of teaching the Word of God at Faith Baptist Theological Seminary in Yangon every Tuesday since 2003. I usually teach Personal Evangelism to final year students during the first semester. This subject includes different approaching methods in reaching the unbelievers with the Gospel especially in the Buddhist Land of Myanmar. We all know that there is only One Gospel in many ways. The great Gospel revival happened in Myanmar after 1970s and thousands of nominal Christians and many non-Christians realized that salvation is not by good works but by Grace alone (John 19:30., Eph. 2:8) and they accepted Jesus Christ as their personal and Lord. Now it has been over 40 years and so many new generations from churches/denominations in Myanmar are nominal Christians who believe that salvation by good works or by faith and good works (faith + good works = Salvation). And the sad thing is that many born again churches are now just evangelical (doctrinally), but not evangelistic (they do not do evangelism). So, we earnestly pray for the great revival in Myanmar, training/teaching our Bible students (SEABC & FBTS) and believers in the churches, and doing evangelism in different places in the country. We need your prayers and partnership.

Reaching the Non-Christians with the Gospel:

By God’s grace, we sent bro. Tin Htay to Mandalay, the second biggest city in Myanmar, as missionary in last March, 2014. He is reaching mostly non-Christians with the Gospel. We pray that the Lord will mightily use him to win lost souls for Christ, discipling new converts and planting a new church there in the future.

Students’ Gospel Outreach Ministry:

By God’s grace, SEABC students are doing the Gospel Outreach Ministry in Yangon and its areas during week-ends. They usually distribute Gospel tracts at Yangon seaport, on the ships, on the trains, train stations, market places, etc. and also shared about the Gospel as the Lord opens the ways.

Literature Ministry & Bible Distribution:

We always give thanks to our good Lord for the wonderful opportunity of doing Literature ministry and Bible Distribution. The Lord graciously provides the needed funds through His peoples. “The Disciple’s Manual” and “Living Above the Average” in Myanmar language had been republished. And “One Day at a Time” a devotional book in Myanmar is being published. By God’s grace, over 1000 New Testament Bibles and 265 (the whole Bible)s have been given to over 1200 people who indeed needed the Bible. Praise the Lord!

M.Div. Students will give Bibles to some believers in Rakhaing State Homalin and different parts of Myanmar

The 2nd Women’s Revival Conference:

The Conference was held in downtown Yangon for two days (October 24-25, 2014). The main speakers of the conference are Ann Davenport and Carolyn Outland (Care Ministries) from USA. The conference was graciously attended by over 500 ladies from different churches in Yangon. By God’s grace, SEABC students (ladies) also were privileged to attended the conference. As the Gospel and Christian life had been preached, some unbelievers (about 7) came forward and accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord and also many of the attendees (believers) rededicated their lives into the hand of the Potter (Jer. 18:1-6) to become useful and powerful vessels of God in their daily living.

Thank you so much for all your continued prayers and partnerships in the teaching and Gospel Outreach ministry of SEABC in the Buddhist land of Myanmar. To God be the glory!

Serving together for Christ,

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!

Sixth Biennial Graduation of SEABC:

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. The graduation was graciously and joyfully attended by around 370 people and it went very well. Twenty-six students were graduated. 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!

The second session of the meeting started at 6:00pm and finished at 8:00pm. Mr. Kap Cin Thang preached the Salvation Message (The Main Purpose of Jesus Christ’s Coming to the World). The meeting was enthusiastically attended by over 300 people and over a hundred of them came to faith in Christ (the Lord knows the exact number who indeed accepted Him).
