Summer Bible Camp 3

By God’s grace, according to the report of Ms. Sah Eh Say today, 26 children accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord, and four of them took believer’s baptism on April 13th. Actually, some other new converts also wanted to take believer’s water baptism, but they are from different churches/denominations, so they didn’t take the water baptism.

Baptism

Please pray with us for the spiritual growth of those new converts and other believers. Also, please also pray that the Lord will provide funds so that the leaders and SEABC alumni will be able to conduct Christmas Camps (in December) and Summer Camps (in March-May) every year.

We, as believers in Myanmar, are so grateful and thankful to our God of Mission for providing the funds needed for the Summer Camps through His people. To God be the glory!
