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

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!

Dear Valued Praying Partners,

By God’s grace, because of your prayers and partnerships, the Bible College is going well.

Guests from USA:

Bro. Raju Kunjamin came to Myanmar with bro. John and bro. Babu from assemblies in USA and held Christian Leadership Training at Canaan Gospel Chapel from October 7-9, 2015. The training was attended by around 60 people and they all learned new and very important lessons. We all are so thankful to our good Lord for this training. They also graciously visited SEA Bible College and encouraged the students by teaching and preaching the Word of God.

Logos Hope:

Logos Hope arrived in Alone Seaport, Yangon, Myanmar in the second week of October. All the students and some faculty members of SEABC had a wonderful opportunity of having a tour of Logos Hope on October 13, 2015. Wow! It was a great experience to see the huge library and the kind and hard workers / staffs of the Logos Hope.

Testimony:

Bro. Maung Khaing, who was a non-Christian, heard the Gospel through our missionary Tin Htay and accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior and Lord in last March, 2015. He attended a three-month discipleship training in Yangon. Bro. Htay brought Bro. Maung Khaing to SEABC and he shared his testimony at the student’s Chapel service. Please pray for his spiritual growth and the salvation of his relatives.

Visiting Lecturer:

We are so thankful and grateful to our Lord for sending bro. Matt Bowen from Littleton Bible Chapel, Denver, USA to Myanmar again. Bro. Matt effectively taught the subject called “The Attributes of God” to second and third year students of SEA Bible College. He powerfully preached at the student’s Chapel Services and at the worship services of Canaan Gospel Chapel during his stay.

Medical Checkup:

Dr. Bentley Tate from the United States graciously visited SEA Bible College and preached the Word of God at the Student’s Chapel service on Oct. 23rd. Then, he kindly did medical checkup for some students with health problems. We always give thanks to the Lord for Dr. Bentley, who has a great passion for the bible students. Praise the Lord! Dr. Bentley and his wife Sandy, along with bro. Matt and bro. Kap visited our missionary Kap Do and his family in Pyapon, Delta area on November 1st, 2015. There, they had a fellowship service with believers. Dr. Bentley preached the Word of God and all the hearers were greatly blessed and encouraged. On the next day (Nov. 2nd) Dr. Bentley did medical checkup for some believers and local people in the slum area of Pyapon town. By God’s grace, about 30 people with health problems had a medical checkup with Dr. Tate and got medicine. They all are so happy and grateful to Dr. Tate and his team. To God be the glory!

Flood Relief Works in Myanmar

Flood Relief Works in Myanmar

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.
