By God’s grace, some believers, Tin Tun and his wife started reaching Children with the Gospel in a slum area since January 2016. Parents of those children are very poor and live in the slum area of Yangon. We conducted a Sunday School program on the road because we could not find a suitable house for the Sunday School program. The Sunday School program on the road was attended by about 90 children. We shared the Gospel, taught them Sunday School songs, and fed them some cakes and breads. All of them enjoyed the program.

By God’s grace, we, some faculty members, alumni & students of SEA Bible College and leaders from Canaan Gospel Church successfully conducted Summer Bible Camp from April 11th to April 17th, 2016. The Camp was joyfully attended by around 120 (children, young people and young adults).
By God’s grace and the power of the Gospel and the Holy Spirit, 25 people accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord (10 children who are under 12 years of ages and 15 people who are over 13 years of age).

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).

Christmas Gospel Meeting:
We held a Christmas Gospel meeting on December 25th, 2015. The meeting was attended by about 200 people and most of them were non-Christians. I preached the Christmas story and the Salvation message. I pray and hope the seed of the Word of God has been sown in many hearts of the hearers. Let’s pray together that those hearers of the Gospel will come to faith in Jesus Christ for their eternal salvation.

Children Christmas:
Christmas celebration for children (mostly Buddhist children)
We had a Christmas Celebration especially for children on December 24th, 2015. Most of them were Buddhist kids. Sister Thwe Thwe San (Alumni of SEABC) shared about the Christmas story, the love of God and Salvation to those lovely kids. We gave Christmas presents to each kid. We are so thankful and grateful to our Lord for providing all the needs for this program.
Prayer Requests:
1) For the spiritual growth of those three new converts;
2) For the effectiveness of the Gospel outreach and church planting
we are doing.
#6. Report from Sister Hte Le Phaw (Kyauksuh, Kaya State):
Gospel Meeting for Children:
Sister June Rose (alumni of SEABC) and I conducted a Gospel Meeting for children at Kyauk-suh village, Kayah State on December 7th, 2015. We shared about the history of Christmas to the children. Jesus Christ left His throne in heaven and came down to the sinful world to take a human form and solve the problem of sin for all the peoples of the world (Rom. 5:12-14., 3:10, 19., 6:23., John 19:30).

Worship Service:
We usually have worship service every Sunday in a small house where my family lives. I used to visit our neighbors and villagers, share about the Gospel and pray for them. Many more villagers and neighbors are interested in the love of God and His Salvation. Please continue to pray for the salvation of the villagers who are animists, nominal Christians and Roman Catholics.
#7. Report from Bro. Bo Mana Ling (Mindat, Southern
Chin State):
The Lord wonderfully blessed the personal evangelism I have been doing in Eastside of Mindat town. Four young people (3 young men & one young lady) heard the Gospel through me and two of them accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. Two of them named Mr. Ypung Len and Mr. Moe Lyn took Water Baptism on December 5th, 2015.
Gospel Trips:
I had Gospel trips to some villages and had the opportunity of preaching the Gospel. Many people in those areas need to hear the pure Gospel message. Most of them believe that salvation is received through good works or by faith in Christ and good works. Actually, the Bible says that we are not saved by good works but by grace alone to do good works (Eph. 2:8-9).
Prayer Requests:
1) For the spiritual growth of those two new converts;
2) For the effectiveness of doing Gospel outreach;
3) For the Lord’s protection when we start worship service at my rental house;
4) Health for my wife and my daughter.

#8. Report from Bro. Thang Suan Khai (Kyaiklatt, Delta Area):
Christmas Gospel Meeting:
Seven students from Southeast Asia Bible College, brother Kap Do Nang from Pyapon and I (Brother Khai) conducted a Christmas Celebration and Gospel Meeting in Kyaiklatt on December 12th, 2015. Most of the audience were Buddhists. The Bible students sang Christmas hymns and taught Christmas stories to the children. I led the meeting, a Bible student named Nanda Lin shared about his testimony and brother Kap Do Nang preached the Gospel. After the Gospel meeting, we all had lunch fellowship together. Please pray for the salvation of those Buddhists.
Personal Evangelism and Distributing Gospel Tracts:
As the Lord opens ways for me, I reached some non-Christians with the Gospel and distributed Gospel tracts to many more people in the town. Humanly speaking, it is indeed difficult to win non-Christians (type – B) for Christ. But, we know Salvation is of the Lord and faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Please pray with me for those non-Christians that they may know the Living God who is the Creator and believe Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord.
Prayer Requests:
1) For the great Gospel revival in this town Kyaiklatt and in all of Myanmar;
2) That the Lord will provide a motorcycle I indeed need for the Lord’s work.
Thank you so much for your partnership in the Lord’s Kingdom ministry.
Report from Brother Peter Mana Phay (Maeyan Village, Tachilaik Township, Shan State):
Gospel Outreach:
The Lord opened doors for me to reach some people with the Gospel. Two ladies (Shan people) were very interested in the Salvation message. So, I had a privilege of sharing/teaching about the gospel to those two ladies for three days in last October. By hearing the gospel, both of them came to realize that they are sinners by birth; they are sinners not because of committing sins but they commit sins because they are already sinners (Ps. 51:5., Rom. 5:12-14), the wages of sin is death (Rom. 6:23). After clearly understanding that Jesus Christ died for their sins on the cross and rose again on the third day, both of them accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord (John 1:12-13).
Two girls accepted Jesus as their personal Savior.
The Lord also opened a way for me to reach a family (Shan people) with the Gospel in last October and a man and a woman accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. See below.
A man and woman accepted Jesus as their personal Savior.
Christmas Gospel Meeting for Pre-school Kids:
The Lord provided some funds for this Gospel Meeting through WorldServe. We held the Gospel meeting at Maeyang village on Dec. 4th, 2015. The kids, their parents and relatives who are non-Christians attended the meeting. By God’s grace, all of them heard the Gospel. Bro. Peter Mana Phay preaching the Gospel with the Interpreter (See below).

Report from Bro. Kap Tung Thang (Kale, Sagaing Division):
Gospel Meetings:
By God’s grace, I had gospel trips with friends to seven places in Sagaing Division and Chin States between October 11th and October 30th, 2015. We conducted gospel meetings and counseling sessions in the evening and teaching sessions in the day time. Our three sisters led the children programs. The Lord graciously blessed our gospel trips; 12 people clearly understood about the Salvation message we preached and accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. To God be the glory!

Report from Bro. Pau Sian Mang (Tonzang, Chin State):
Brother Pau Sian Mang teaching the Gospel
I conducted a Gospel meeting (specifically for ladies) in November, 2015. Over 30 people attended the meeting. Out of those people, 17 accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord and two women shared their testimonies. I also had the opportunity to reach three leaders of Roman Catholic Church with the Gospel and two of them accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. The other one said that he will ask their Bishop about what Salvation means. Those two new converts want to join us on Sunday worship service but they are afraid of their family members who are strong Roman Catholics. Please pray with us for the spiritual growth of those two new converts and for the salvation of the other one.
Bible Study & Home-cell:
Youth Bible Study
I have Bible study with some young people two times a week and have Home-cell with believers at every Saturday night.

By God’s grace, one family (the parents are born again) joined our church in last October 2015.

Flood victims – Lang Suan and wife (middle)
Pastor Kap Cin Thang, two pastors and I worked together for the Resettlement project for Flood victims in Nakzang village, Chin State. Presently, we are rebuilding a house for a family whose house was wiped out by the flood back in August, 2015. We had planned to build four more houses in January, 2016 for the flood victims in Nakzang village. They are so happy and thankful to the Lord and the donors and joyful tears were streaming down from their eyes.
Happy New Year! I am sending ministry reports of SEABC Alumni who are doing Evangelism and Church planting in different places in Myanmar. Thank you so much for all your prayers and support for the equipping and training ministry of Southeast Asia Bible College.

We had a Gospel Meeting in Shwepyethar from November 15th to November 22nd, 2015. We had a teaching session in the day time. The meeting was attended by 24 people. By the work of the Holy Spirit, 16 of those people accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord and took believer’s water baptism on November 22nd, 2015. Below is Brother Zaw Boung baptizing the new converts.
Personal Evangelism:
Brother Zaw Boung sharing the gospel
Brother Zaw Boung usually does the personal evangelism. He had a wonderful privilege to share the gospel to Mr. Aye Maung (who is 40 years old) in October, 2015. After understanding he is a sinner by birth and cannot do good things all the time, he accepted Jesus Christ, who paid the wages of his sin on the cross and rose again on third day, as his personal Savior and Lord on October 21st, 2015.

Give thanks for:
