This year we have started the Bible Institute in June with 12 students due to the
great need to train young men and woman for the ministry. Although our Church
is small in number yet we have the great and big heart to do the Lord's work as
much as possible in whatever way the Lord wants us we want to do it for His own
glory, honor and for the extension of the Church of Jesus Christ. This is infact an uneasy task yet we believe in God that He will supply all our needs. All the student could hardly pay for their admission fee, but the rest are to look after them. Some times it is hard yet the Lord never failed.
There are now 32 students. Only a few of the students can pay their full tution fees and only a few students can pay only for their admission fee which is equivalent to US$ 5, they could not afford any more for their tuition. They are in dire need. 5 students could paid for their half tuition. One student could only paid for two months. The full tuition fee per month is US$ 50 and for an academic year the total tuition cost is US$ 450 for a person for their fees such as food, text books, tuition etc. and general expenses.
Please pray for the institute which was began this year in June which is leading to the Bachelor of Theology four years course.
Thank you very much for your prayers for us. Your love and concern for our people. Do pray for our ministries which are the following categories.
1. Church ministries
2. Literature
3. Children ministries
4. Bible Institute
Our church(Bethel Baptist Church) is targeted to 30 new souls to lead to Christ this year. Pray that we may truly accomplish this goal.
Do pray for the literature ministry we have been doing. It's unlike other country, there is no christian literature available to the believers. And our target is to publish books which will help the chirsitan life grow and mature. At the same time we do have the plans to publish the commentaries and bible dictionary in Burmese which require a big amount to publish. We have already finished the translations of those and are ready to print.
Pray also for the ministries among the children who are in need spiritually, emotionally, educationally and physically. We do have about 168 children in 3 different locations.
Thank you very much for your prayers. Hope that as we draw nigh to God and His throne of Grace we may see favor and His name may be glorified and hornored.
We also increased our children ministry into another place beside the existing two places. The children are keep coming and enjoy their club very much. This is our opportunity to reach the children with the good news and those areas.
May we join hand in hand to do His Ministry in this dark land, where millions of people never heard the gospel and do not know who is Jesus Christ that many people might turn to Christ because the gospel is preached and the laborers are sent.
