Prayer Requests

Myanmar Mission

April 2026

Thanking God for:

  • His Faithful Provision. Life in Myanmar remains very challenging due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the political situation and rising global tensions, have caused a significant increase in the cost of living. Yet, by God’s abundant grace, we continue to stand firm. We praise Him for His unfailing protection and faithful provision through every difficulty.
  • Teaching Program. We are currently conducting a teaching program for the children at the orphanage during the summer holiday, which will run until the end of May. It includes Bible lessons, English, music, crafts, and vocational skills. We thank God that the program is going well. Please pray that this season will be fruitful, and that the children will grow both spiritually and practically.
  • My Daughter. We thank God that my daughter received an award for her drawing at the district-level competition. We praise the Lord for His goodness and grace in her life.
  • Once again, your steadfast love, prayers, and partnership in the gospel. Your support is a great encouragement to us as we continue serving the Lord in these challenging times.

Please Pray for:

  • Combined Churches Fellowship (End of the Month). The program will include choir and Bible memorization competitions, and I will be sharing a message on Biblical worship. Please pray especially for transportation.
  • Rebuilding of one Church Building. Please pray that God will enable us to finish the remaining work and that it can be completed before the rainy season begins.
