After graduating from Shiloh Bible College in Myanmar in 2018, John moved the following year to a Hmong village in eastern Myanmar where only two Christian families lived. John’s desire was to plant a church there. The Hmong people are thought to have moved from the Yellow River basin in China in centuries past; today, the Hmong can be found in Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, and eastern Myanmar.

Dr. Gayle Woods recently wrote about a guest who attended Sunday morning service in January. Afterwards, the lady who brought him to church mentioned he had been baptized. Dr. Woods said baptism was wonderful and he was glad, but asked the man if he had ever asked God to forgive his sins. He had not, but wanted to.

Churches rented lorries, or trucks, so their members could go.

The academic year for students at Shiloh Bible College in Myanmar begins in June, reaches its halfway point by the end of September, and concludes with graduation in February. This year, Pastor Andrew Baw Ceu reports there are 19 boys and 15 girls, including four international students from Vietnam and China. Twice a month, students take part in outreaches to Buddhist villages that have no church. In a three-month span, they distributed about 3000 tracts and witnessed to ab

Despite everything we are going through in Haiti, we still cannot complain because we are serving a wonderful God. Every day we wake up with these words from the Bible in 1 Samuel 7:12, “Thus far the LORD has helped us.” For a long time we have been living many dark days in Haiti.
