2023: A YEAR TO TAKE GROUND

A tightening is happening in nations hostile to the Gospel. Restrictions are getting more restrictive, not less.

Training Up Myanmar

The nation of Myanmar is 90% Buddhist, and Christians there are often mocked, threatened and persecuted. However, the harvest is ripe, and the need for courageous spiritual leaders and missionaries is great. We believe the most effective missionaries are local churches and bodies of believers, because of their familiarity with…

From abandoned to chosen.

No one can care for all 1.6 million orphans in Burma, but anyone can make a difference in the life of one child. In November, I had the incredible chance of witnessing one of our children meet her sponsor for the very first time. (more…)

Culture Shock

As I stood with around 100 church planters in Burma just a few weeks ago, it hit me hard that we were “playing from behind.” These men looked tired with ragged, old clothes on their worn bodies, but there was a hunger that I had not seen. As we visited,…

Just a few weeks ago, as we celebrated the grand opening of our new orphanage in Burma, we were reminded of the harsh reality children face in this country. Moe Moe Aye, a four year old little girl, was recently sold by her grandmother who lost hope in trying to…
