Freshman Welcome:

Learn more about the Freshman Welcome at the South East Asia Bible College.

We had Freshman Welcome Service at SEA Bible College’s Chapel hall on June 15th, 2016 at 2:00pm – 4:00pm. All faculty members graciously attended the service and each of them preached a short message for the students. And each new student came forward and introduced himself/herself to the lecturers and all students. The final year students sang a welcoming and beautiful song especially for the freshman (new students). Mr. Nay Linn Soe and Ms. Naw Lay Wah Soe also sang a special number. Mr. Kap (the President of the College) had a welcoming speech and short message. Then, we all stood up and prayed together to the Lord for His guidance, provisions, protections, and the continuous effectiveness of the teaching/equipping ministry of SEA Bible College.

June Southeast Asia Bible College Newsletter #42 Praying Partners

Dear Valued Praying Partners,

By God’s grace, we started a new school year of SEABC on June 1st, 2015. We accepted 27 new students. The total number of students this academic year is 67. They all are from 28 different ethnic groups from different parts of Myanmar (e.g. Rawang, Lisu, Po Kayin, Sakaw Kayin, Zo, Kuki Naga, Akha, Lahu, Bamar, Hindi, Tedim, Thado, Tangkun Naga, Daai, Mindat, Matu, Lingtui, Mara, Lahu, Falam, Khumi, Siyin, Tangkun Naga, Kayan, Kayaw, Hemi Naga, Shan, etc., (Matt. 28:19., Rev. 5:9).

Music Class:

Our music teacher Mr. Khual (Zam Khan Khual) has taught music (Staff Notes & how to play the keyboard) to the students during the past school years. Very few churches in Myanmar have keyboard and electric classes. So, teaching only keyboard is not practical nor helpful to many churches. We started teaching music (both keyboard and guitar) to the students from this academic year.

Computer Class:

We continued our Basic Computer Class of Southeast Asia Bible College. Since we do not have enough computer and rooms, we can only teach final year students. We pray that the Lord will provide more computers and more spaces / apartments for this class so that all of the students can take the basic computer courses.

English Class:

By God’s grace, a brother named James Calum, from Canada, came to Myanmar to teach English at SEABC from the first week of June until August of 2015. All of the students enjoyed his class and their hearing skills, understanding skills and writing skills are gradually improving. We pray and help the students to not only get Bible / theological knowledge, but also for them to grow spiritually. We pray for them to discover their spiritual gifts by participating in the different activities of local churches and gospel outreach ministry. We also want to help them develop their English skills so they may be able to study good Bible commentaries and helpful Christian books.

Prayer Request:

Please pray with us for brother James and all  of the students, and please pray that the Lord will send someone to teach English in second semester (September – Dec, 2015).

Jireh Team – 2:

The Jireh Team-2 from Malaysia had a short term mission trip to Myanmar from June 3 to June 7th, 2015. There are five brothers and three sisters in the Jireh Team-2. Elder William Young was the team leader. They visited Southeast Asia Bible College and preached and taught the Word of God to the students for three days (June 3-5). Their visit was a wonderful encouragement and blessing to all of the students. We are so thankful and grateful for the new overhead projector, screen, and four brand new guitars for SEABC. Praise the Lord! The team also visited three different Children Ministries and BBB (Bro. Min Lwin).

Thank you very much for your continued prayers and partnerships in the Lord’s Kingdom ministry in the Buddhist land of Myanmar.
