Prayer Requests

Myanmar Mission

May 2026

Thanking God for:

  • The growth of the church. By God’s providence, we now have a total of seven church plants.
  • A very blessed and fruitful fellowship meeting at one of the church plants in Central Myanmar. About 150 BP church members gathered together. We all shared the same conviction that the meeting was both necessary and beneficial for everyone.
  • The good news we received when the final examination results for the orphanage home children were released. All of the children passed their exams. We are thankful for God’s blessings and faithfulness.

Please Pray for:

  • The children at the orphanage home as they begin the new academic year (2026-2027). Pray for their spiritual growth, physical health, education, and financial provision, that they may remain safe and well cared for.
  • Our BP church members, as many are facing great challenges in daily life.
  • Myanmar, for protection for displaced individuals, an end to armed conflict, the restoration of peace, and strength for believers who continue to face persecution and hardship.
