Our upcoming visit to Myanmar will include another new teaching site. Last January we traveled inland from Yangon to Taung Gyi (for the first time) to conduct a training on inductive Bible study techniques. That training was in response to a request from an evangelist in Philip’s association who had attended the training in Yangon and wanted to offer it to the people in his area. After three prior visits to Yangon, it was exciting to be able to branch out and take God’s word to another geographical area.

In November this year, we will bring a teaching to the pastors and missionaries in Philip’s organization who are able to travel to Yangon from outlying areas. At the conclusion of that seminar, we will travel inland again, this time north to Mandalay for a 3-day teaching to be held there. This is a brand-new location for our team.

This latter seminar will be held in conjunction with Brother Lalthlamuana ( Muana) with the Methodist Church in Mandalay. Our association with Muana stems from a meeting with the Director of Missions, Asbury United Methodist Church in Tulsa, during a training that Muana was attending here in the States.

By combining a trip to Mandalay with a teaching in Yangon, we are able to reach considerably more people with the same travel expenses. It is our hope that we can do more of this in the future and thereby maximize your dollars for the Lord.

We are receiving invitations to teach from a number of different nations: Tanzania, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, in addition to others in Myanmar. Each request is prayerfully considered and decisions are made on the basis of what we feel God is leading us to do. We have neither the time nor the money to accept all the invitations, nor would it be prudent to do so. We are currently forming an association with a brother from Pakistan to have some of our teaching material translated into Urdu. Our mission is to accomplish the specific tasks that God gives us to do.

We are grateful to each and every one of your who make it possible for us to take God’s teaching to people who otherwise receive no outside help. Our goal always is to enable believers everywhere we go to read and study God’s word without the use of man’s commentaries. We believe this is the most effective way to minimize the risk of false teaching infiltrating their Christianity.
