Outreach to Delta Region

An outreach to delta was successfully done at the request of Yangon Christian Church. Rev. David Mung (Pastor Thangsan), accompanied with other two pastors from the Church, spent a week (September 14-18) in Bogalay township for Bible seminar for new believers, who had only six months of their Christian experience. However, they are eager learner of the Word of God and their first-love for the Lord are evident on their faces in the midst of discrimination for their new found-faith. Here below are some of their live-testimonies (sorry for not giving their full-names):

Referring to last year cyclone, a man named MT said, "At first, we blamed the Nargis(cyclone) for taking away our families, our properties, and everything of us. We loathed even to breathe in this air knowing it is so much disastrous to a such destruction of life. However, now we received Jesus Christ in the midst, and it happened to thank the Nargis again for introducing us to the Gospel." Another man named ZL said, "When I was persecuted in the family and expelled from the list of my relatives, they said that I would return to them in repentance. Then, I replied," he said, "the ones who would repent and follow after my faith will be you rather." Another lady named MN said, "We were rejected from our work-place so many times and despised among our friends for this new religion. For we always demand them (supervisors) to let us leave alone on Sunday so that we can worship God." (Actually this people do not usually take day-off from work even on weekend).
