Dear Brother Wayne at M300 Ministries USA,

Greetings to you in the name of our Lord, thank you so much for your prayers. Brother we have been praying for you and God is going to open the big way to support your ministry. Yes it is true this is not my opinion this is the will of God and our Holy God has been showing me this in my personal prayers.

Last night I spent much more time in prayer, I have stared this at 9 pm and up to 2 am I was on my knees and praying to God for the baptisms of those who came to Him at the Festivals of Light and in our outreaches. They have been facing a number of problems from their relatives who threaten them and because of this we have postponed their baptisms until May.

So after my prayer I have dream, you  and your family members were under the shadow of the hill, I saw you some distance and at that time there is no water on the hill and after few minutes slowly the water is coming on the top of hill and the water is pouring on your head and all rest of the family members also. This water is showering on your head and the force is increasing and that same water is coming towards on us. Suddenly I woke up and remembering this dream and I praised God, He is going to open the way and pouring His blessings on you. May God bless you my brother and we have been praying for you!

                                      
                                           Typical living conditions of the Yanadi People

 THIS IS THE TESTIMONY OF OUR PASTOR.

I here with submitting the testimony of our Pastor, he has been working with our ministry for the past several years. He belongs from Scheduled Tribal community called as Yanadi people. In our area these people as treated like animal, these people are untouchable. The Landlords, Moneylenders and high caste people are not allowed to enter the houses.

Before writing his testimony I would like to tell about the living conditions of this community and their back-ground. The vast majorities of Yanadi people in Andhra Pradesh, South India lives in rural areas and are illiterate agricultural laborers. They are hunters and gatherers who typically reside in settlements of small huts under trees near Roadside.

The word Tribe denotes a group of people living in primitive conditions. It is a social group with territorial affiliation, endogamous with no specialization of functions. They have a headman or a chief who controls all activates of that group. They were living in forests since early times an even now some of the groups follow the same trends and live in forests. These target families are living by the road side under the trees. 

Poverty has been described as a situation of “pronounced deprivation in well being” and being poor as “to be hungry, to lack shelter and clothing, to be sick and not cared for, to be illiterate and not schooled…Poor people are particularly weak to adverse events outside their control. They are often treated badly by institutions of the state and society and excluded from voice and power in those institutions.” Lack of access to resources or asset less ness is a unifying characteristic of poverty in all its manifestations. The poor lack ownership of or access to assets such as land, water, forest, dwelling units, credit, literacy, longevity, voice and capital-both physical and social.

Those who are severely below the poverty line are largely involved in subsistence type activities for which they get exploitatively poor returns despite suffering extreme Physical hardship and undertaking grave risks so as to earn a meager income. Since earnings are very below even the margins of existence, expenditure and survival needs exceed income. This often results in the need to borrow small amounts of money at usurious interest rates of as much as 120% per annum. When borrowing is not possible, hunger is suffered.

 The landlords, Moneylenders, high cast people are playing with their lives. You know but these so called high cast people, moneylenders and landlords have been using these people to clean their toilets, carrying the human waste, washing their cloths, cleaning their houses, utensils and treating them like ANIMALS and BONDED SLAVES.

Their financial situations are un-believable, how these communities Yanadi people have been deceiving for the past several decades, the local government, local people, leaders or any other persons have not taking care and day to day they are pushing in to the hell.

These families will depend the begging, sometimes they may do small work to get very meager amount. But when they sick they need some money to buy medicine you know what they do how much interest they are paying to the lender? It is absolutely un-believable. They will take the money from the money lender. $.10/- you know how much they have to pay each Month they have to pay $.1 per interest. After one year this borrower has to pay the moneylender $.10+12= 22 so how much interest this ST person is paying to the lender is 120%. It is true and the Moneylender will not give more than $.10 as hand loan. Sometimes if the beneficiary pays the loan amount within one week of time they have to pay $.1. So this is the lenders have been taking interest from these people.

This Pastor came from this back-ground and now I am explaining his living conditions. The real truth and un-believable thing is, he has to feed 2+2=4 family members within the Monthly income is only $.15. Yes my friends this is absolutely true, eve thou they are serving the God, sufferings, problems, threatening, beatings, stoning, warnings and life and death is common, because we are working among the non-Christians and 98% of the people are from other faith and they have been working against the Lord Jesus Christ. We are not wearing the Gold cross; we are bearing the rugged cross and we are walking on the very and very narrow way.

Now a day’s people are not willing to hear/ see the real things and not willing to support who are working deeply working on the gross root planting the seeds on the ground level and working among the Non-Christians.

 Present people are spending millions of dolor’s 2 to 3 days public meetings, mass publicity, mass gathering and they are expecting the honor more than the Christ, they want boosting, praising and more and more, not supporting the real people those who are working from the gross root level. I believe any development either social changes or spiritual changes has to began from the bottom level. We are concretely and practically doing the same things. Amen.

This Man original name was Krishna (this is Hindu’s Lord Krishna name) before he accepted the Lord and our God, now this Pastor name is John. He was born Hindu family their community is called Yanadi people. His father and Mother are staying at Vuppuluru this Village is 45 KM from Machilipatnam town. They are poorest of the poor living in very pathetic conditions. Generally this community is catching the fish, rats, crabs if it is not available they will beg in the Villages to collect the leftover food and feed their children. This pastor having 3 sons 1 daughter he is the 2^nd son.

One evangelist has visiting that Village and conducting the meetings in that Village, his mother was attending one meeting and accepted the Lord as her personal savior and she is regularly attending the Sunday worship service in another Village this village is 5KM from their parent’s village at that time he was 10 years. His Mother has to walk 5 KM distance to attending the Sunday Worship service. She has to taken her small sister because of this reason his mother needs help this boy to carry this small girl.

After several years in 1998 The Lord spoke to Him with Revelation.12:17 he accepted the Lord as his personal savior and in the year 1999 again the Lord called him to serve. I have explained he was belongs to ST community, he doesn’t know about the Lord, he has been attending the meetings and gaining the knowledge from the Bible.

The God has been calling him for full time God’s work; he has been praying how to start the Gods work. In the mean time one Pastor met him he has been doing the God’s work in some other village. This Pastor belongs to same community. He worked with this elder for one year, after one year he married the Pastor daughter and he is having 2 Children.

He was attended one of our spiritual meeting which we have been conducting for the Pastors. In that meeting again the God spoke to him join with this ministry, he went and prayed few months and met me and shared his views and call of the God, we jointly prayed and I told him we will wait may God will leads us.

The God has been speaking me to take him in to our team of work; I invited him to join our ministry work together to build the Kingdom of the God. With the guidance of the Holy God I placed him in the town in slum area called G.P.Nagar we have school called Mercy School, he started the ministry in this area and now 20 families are attending they are all NON-Christians. Thanks to God for his help. Please remember us in your prayers for the need of Pastoral support, they have been suffering and leading their families on the bases of the faith. Please remember our Pastors team, we have 25 full time committed Pastors, they have been working among the NON-CHRISTIANS. We need your prayers, May God bless you.

We pray that God's people will use E-giving as a way to support our ministry needs.

Dear Brother Wayne and Family at Mighty 300 Ministries USA

The resurrection gave the Disciple of Christ courage and faith. Previously they ran away when Jesus was crucified and they even denied Him. After witnessing the resurrection of Jesus, they became ’Spiritual terrorists” for the cause of Christ. Previously they were perplexed about the opposition faced as being the followers of Christ. But then they got the power to change the world upside down. Yes, there are three facts in the resurrection- the tomb was empty; many had seen Jesus after resurrection and there are witnesses for Him throughout the World. Amen.

"He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth. In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth." Ps 72:6-7.

With love,

Drug War Rages On Drug Cartels Shift Focus of Attacks to Area Where We Work The chatter of automatic weapon fire rings out over the city. Suddenly, hand grenades explode in the streets. A military chopper hovers overhead, spraying gunfire into the stronghold of enemy forces on the ground. After the smoke clears, dozens lay injured; some are dead.    Click to read more... Newest STM Church Gets Annex Illinois Construction Team Completes Project Before Violence Hits           Thankfully, just days before the violence erupted in Rio Bravo, a team from Christian Life Church in Rantoul, Illinois finished up work on a future feeding center at one of our Spirit and Truth churches. The group worked several days to get the facility completed. The team, led by Kelly Birkey, has been coming to build projects for this ministry for fifteen years. What a blessing they have been. For now, while we wait for donations to come in to start the feeding program, the annex will be used for Sunday School classes and church gatherings. Pastor Rubén de Leon is happy about the addition and is ready to put it to use. (continued from "Drug War Rages On" above)  No, this is not an action scene from a war movie; this is not even an incident in some faraway, war-torn country. This is close and it’s happening at an alarming rate—in Reynosa and Rio Bravo, Mexico, headquarters for Spirit and Truth Ministries. Clashes between rival drug cartels fighting for territorial rights (shipping lanes for drugs bound for the U.S.) happen almost daily. The number of executions, hangings and beheadings are now in the tens of thousands. Thousands more have been kidnapped and tortured. And this is only what we can gather from limited news reports. TV stations have been bombed and journalists have been killed for simply reporting the news. Nowadays information is sketchy. The battle rages on. For 3 years Mexican authorities have been at war with the cartels in an effort to extinguish the drug trafficking and violence. But for every kingpin that is killed or captured, there are dozens ready to take his place. It seems there is no end in sight. (Continued below...)   Officials, with faces covered to protect their identity, survey weapons and drug traffickers captured recently in Mexico The northeast quadrant of Mexico where we conduct our mission work has been relatively quiet, until recently. Rumors began to fly that a big attack was about to occur. The public panicked. Schools and businesses closed. A curfew was put into place; it wasn’t needed. Residents were holed up in their homes, as was the local police; terrified, they abandoned their posts. Bustling communities became like ghost towns overnight. How is our ministry coping with all this? For one, we are operating with utmost caution. Skirmishes can break out anywhere, anytime. Innocents can be caught in the cross fire; a little girl died in the helicopter incident, gunned down by a stray bullet. Our feeding programs are needed more than ever. The economy is suffering; working people have lost jobs. Enrollment at schools has dropped significantly. More hungry kids are showing up at our programs for a meal. They need us. And we need you. We need your prayers, but we also need your financial gifts to help us meet this greater demand. We may have a crisis, but we also have a Christ. Will you pray? Will you give? Did you know that we can feed a hungry child a hot nutritious meal for fifty cents? That's right. For two quarters, less than a cup of coffee, we can place a bowl of meat, beans, rice and tortillas and drink before a needy little one who otherwise might not get to eat that day. How many meals can you provide? 50 meals, 100, maybe 200? Imagine if the U.S. was in a dilemma like Mexico and it was your own child who had nothing to eat. You would go to the ends of the earth to get food for them. Reach deep and give your best. The child you feed could someday grow up to be a great evangelist or missionary. Cast your seed into the ground. Who knows what lasting fruit could be brought forth through your giving?

You do not need a PayPal account. Meanwhile, back on the streets of Reynosa and Rio Bravo the extreme violence continues; no one is ever sure when or where it’s going to occur. It rises and falls like the ocean tides on the Gulf of Mexico nearby. If only it was as predictable.   Bill Pay, PayPal are Popular Among our Donors  There have been some inquiries to this ministry concerning the lag time that it takes for cancelled checks to get back to the donor’s bank so that it appears on their statement. Simply put, their complaint is that it takes an extraordinary amount of time for their check to clear. All I can say is that we deposit contribution checks frequently (because we need your gifts like yesterday! LOL) The problem is with how long it takes mail to get to us. (They call it “snail mail” for a reason. :>) ) There are a couple of ways to get around all this delay and they're as convenient as you could ever want. How would you like to not have to write a check, nor pay postage, nor even have to remember to make your monthly contribution? There’s an easy way and it’s called Bill Pay, available at your bank. It automates your giving and debits your account, hands free! According to your one-time customization, the bank will cut the check, mail it to us, pay the postage, and you never have to lift a pen. It doesn’t get any easier. Best of all, it’s a free service. You may contact your bank or go to your bank’s web site to get started. We have several donors that use this system and they love it. Try it and I believe you’ll feel the same way. The second convenient method to donate to this ministry is called PayPal. This has become one of the most popular means to send and receive donations online. Even though PayPal charges us a per-transaction fee, we feel that the convenience of this service is worth it to supporters who like doing business online using a credit card, debit card or checking account. It's simple to use and you don't even have to have a PayPal account. Try it! Just click the Donate button at the top of this article and you will be stepped through the process of making a donation directly to this ministry. Quick, safe and free!

We thank you for standing with us in reaching the lost and hurting of this country caught in one of the greatest turmoils in its history. Nearly 20,000 have died in three years and more are dying every day. What if we could reach some of those before they are flung into an eternity without God?

A DEVOTIONAL FROM "DOC" SERVING IN THAILAND WITH MUAY THAI MISSIONS

                    “We don’t KNOW what we are DOing ??” 

We don’t KNOW what we are DOing

…but we KNOW the One in control. ;-) 

John 17:3 -  “Now this is Eternal Life: that they may KNOW You,

the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.” 

As a missionary, daily I deal with the DOing of Christianity, so many are

consumed with DOing something in this world … DOing Christianity … right?? 

This is my honest answer right now: 

“We don’t KNOW what we are DOing ??” 

We don’t KNOW what we are DOing

…but we KNOW the One in control. ;-) 

In the KNOWing … is Eternal Life, is True Religion, is a Divine Relationship

and is the Way to Life to the FULL.  KNOWing, Abiding, BEing in Christ

is the only time we get CREDIT for DOing something Divine in Heaven’s

accounting books … right??  

One wise man said this,

“Most of the Jewels in our Crowns are put there with out us trying

to achieve such a goal.  We should be distracted by receiving One main

Jewel which is KNOWing God through Jesus Christ.  This future Hope is

BEing a King’s Kid were we set our Crowns/ Jewels at His feet- amen!” 

Jesus did not wake up everyday and think about what He was going to DO. 

Jesus did not make up a set of Rules or Laws to Live by or a Lifestyle to Copy

but He KNEW the Father and followed Him in a Relationship. 

A Divine Relationship is not ran by a program or a set of rules … yes Laws

guide the Relationship but they are still not the focus … right?? 

People that focus on the LAW break the Relationships. ;-( 

People that focus on the Relationship do not break the LAW. ;-) 

That is a Fine Line of Living and understanding … right?? 

Jesus started each day KNOWing the Father, tuning His Spirit/ Ears to His Voice

and then Obeying what was said out of the KNOWing Relationship.  Yes, Jesus

knew the Word and it always CONFIRMED the Father’s Voice- amen. 

Please note, there might be something(s) the Father will ask you to DO and

if you really really HEAR His Voice you should do them … even though they

might not be confirmed by the Word of God.  Oooohhh … that is a tough one. ;-( 

God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son … yes murder your only son … what?? 

This is an example of how we must truly be in a RELATIONSHIP and that we

must truly KNOW Him … right?? 

We don’t KNOW what we are DOing

…but we KNOW the One in control. ;-) 

Phra JAO uay phra pon- God bless, “DOC” ;-)

       MY CONVERSION AND CALLING TO THE MINISTRY AND FAMILY
            Pastor Thaung shares his heart from Burma/Myanmar

    A Note: As founder/director at Mighty 300 Ministries I would like to share with you, our guest,
the fact that notes and pictures like these are rare! The Lord has positioned us and these faithful 
servants in such a way so as to raise up glory for Himself. Please commit to pray for and support the 
efforts of our Valiant Warriors who serve in some of the hardest to reach places on Earth and often
at the risk of their own lives. The Lord is faithful and the Lord is sovereign. We bless His Holy name!

My name is Thaung, a national of Burma. I am married to
Ciin. She came to know Jesus Christ as her personal Savior
and Lord at the age of eight by the witness of her Sunday school
teacher. Now the Lord blessed us with two precious sons.
 
I got saved on 1995 by the witness of my uncle who was was brought to
Christ by American missionary. 
And I was baptized after a week I met Jesus. After I got saved , I went to
the border of China and Myanmar and worked for three years.
Previously, I work so hard but never enjoy what I was doing. When I
became a Christian, God gave me a new heart and spirit. I found joy in
the presence of the Lord in my life. I began to see the blessedness of
the saved. Then I saw and recognized that many Burmese were lost
and were missing Heaven because they worship idol gods.


After I got saved, I used to work many times in front of my boss’ idol. I
remember before I quit my job, I witness and asked my boss,” Do you
know who God really is?” In reply, he pointed to the idol and said,”
This is our god,”


 I said, No! There is only one God and He is a living
God, in whom we have redemption through the Lord Jesus Christ. But he
rejected to believe. The Holy Spirit convicted me again the need of my
countrymen for the Gospel. Then the Lord spoken my heart with His word
in (Proverbs 29:18).I finally gave up my job, pray for a while and
committed my whole life to serve Him and Him alone.

 
As I enter into another phase of my Christian life, my plans remains
unchanged. I will continue to take up the challenge of reaching my
countrymen with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. By God’s grace my aim is
to establish and planting many Churches as much as I can by the help
of God against the mighty. My ministry now is preaching, teaching,
Church planting, and equipping leaders for the ministry in each
mission Churches. I trained the members how to do evangelism, disciple
new convert (follow up) and teach sound doctrine and the old fashioned
truth. It is my vision that someday Burmese will evangelize their own
people with the pure Gospel from the word of God. This is my earnest
prayer to our Mighty God. Brethren, please pray for us.
 
After ten years of labors with much fervency of prayer. The Lord
blessed us and enabled us to plant five Churches. We sent each pastor
to each Church to feed the congregation. This pastors are really
struggling each day to support for their family but in spite of many
hardship they are faithfully serving the Lord. 









They are bold enough to
stand for God and reach the lost for His glory and honor. Each
national pastor need monthly support of $60 to 100. But depend on how
many family are there in their family. 

The Church that now I am
pastoring is around 60 to 70 members. And now I am working with five
Churches with five pastors who are sent out from our Church.


Now five pastors are working under me. I am struggling to support them
financially. My parents are already a Christian. The Gospel was brought
to them was my uncle as I mentioned the above and now he is retired.
My parents were my first member when I was started the Church. I thank
the Lord for their faithfulness to support me in the ministry. Our
Church planting ministry is growing every day. Our prayer for this
year is to establish another five new Churches.
 
Since 1999 the beginning of our Church we moved from one location to
another several times. By faith we will be patiently still moving
until the Lord provided a permanent place for us. We moved often
because the Burmese people did not allow their house a place for
Sunday worship. This are a challenging for us and yet faith stretching
process. It’s not been easy but through it all we have seen the
invisible righteous mighty hand of God holding us and leading us
together from grace to grace, glory to glory. To God be the glory for
the things that He has done!

 
We saw not only God’s faithfulness but the unshakable commitment and
dedication of believers boldly. Every planted Church were born in
Prayer and has been sustained in Prayer by the Power of the Holy
Spirit. Among many experiences I still remember one Friday prayer
meetings all night and all Sunday afternoon prayer meetings where we
sought the face of God and pray for revival. Through the night we
raised our voices toward heaven competing with the frogs as well as
the noise of stones thrown at us by neighbors who hated Christian
presence in the community. This is the way we are laying the Church
foundation f every time there is a new Church is started. Until today
by the grace of God our Churches and ministries are only sustain by
fasting prayer on every Friday in the morning through the night by the
power of the Holy Spirit. This is the only way of the Church growth.
We never take it for granted.
 
 
Our ministry is mainly focus on (Matthew 28:18-20) preaching the
Gospel, baptizing them those who are converts and teach them all
things or disciple them. I want you to pray for the people in Burma
who are starving physically and spiritually. The ministry in Burma
have been suffered persecution throughout the years since the
political changed in 1960s, force all the missionaries to leave
including American missionary. We have many painful adjustment
speedily and carry on the ministry. Please pray for us to maintain the
ministry strong and more souls to be saved through our ministry. We
hope that our faithful friends, brothers and sisters in the Lord will
pray for us and find ways to partner with us and help us the mission
work in Myanmar financially and spiritually.
 
As a Church, a body of believer we will not engage any amount of armed
forces, violence and politics as you mentioned in your letter. Because
we really wanted the kind of ministry that God wanted us to do for His
glory and honor. Really the ministry is not depend on manpower but by
the power of God alone.
 
 
 3.We Believe
1. We believe the whole Bible from Genesis 1:1 to Rev. 22:21 as the
verbally inspired and infallible Word of God
2. We believe Jesus Christ was born of Mary, the Virgin, and is the Son of God.
3. We believe that Christ died for our sins according to the
Scriptures: the Just for the Unjust that He might bring us to God.
4. We believe that He arose from the grave the third day according to
the Scriptures.
5. We believe that He, only, is the great High Priest, and we need not
the intercession of any man, but that Christ ever liveth to make
intercession for us.
6. We believe that Christ will come again in Person, bodily, visibly,
to establish His Kingdom on the earth.
7. We believe that in order to be saved, the soul must be born again -
“Ye must be born again.” (John 3:3)
8. We believe that every truly born again soul should declare his
faith by the act of baptism (immersion in water), setting forth the
Lord’s death, burial and resurrection.
9. We believe that Christ keeps those who are truly born again (II
Timothy 1:12; John 10:28).
10. We believe that all Christians are called unto a life of
separation from worldly and sinful practices, and to a life of
usefulness for Christ (II Cor. 6:17; II Peter 1:2-9).
11. We believe that the church is found by Jesus Christ and His Church
as a body of baptized believers whose only mission is not to “reform
the world,” but to preach and teach the Gospel of Salvation to the
individual soul.
12. We believe that at Christ’s coming in the air, the bodies of the
dead in Christ shall be raised incorruptible and re-united with the
soul and spirit; the bodies of Christians who are alive shall be
changed and glorified and without dying shall be caught up to be with
the Lord (I Thess. 4:13-17; I Cor. 15:51-53).The saved will then
appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ to be rewarded for their
deeds (II Cor. 5:10; I Cor. 3:11-15). After these things Christ will
return bodily and visibly to the earth with His saints, and shall rule
the world in righteousness for a thousand years at the end of which
the unsaved dead will be resurrected, and their judgment and
condemnation shall take place (Matt. 24:30,31; Rev. 19:11-16;
Rev. 20:5,6,11,15).
 
4.What can be done in Burma today?
The question is today “what can be done?” Satan would have us to live
in fear of the government and stay out, to write off Myanmar as a lost
cause. The Lord sees things quite differently. The greatest need is
for laborers among the native Burmese. There are more than one hundred
ethnic groups in the country, the most numerous is the Burmese. This
ethnic majority makes up between 65 percent to 70 percent of the
population. Based on the latest census the population of Myanmar is
approximately 57 millions. The Burmese unreached people and must not
be forgotten nor overlooked for the move profitable work among the
tribals. Twenty six percent of the population is made up of other
indigenous races such as Chin, Kayah, Shan, Kayin, Kachin. These
groups are the tribal, as before have evangelized to a greater extent
for many years. The question still stands,” what can be done?” The
approach that will work I believes, is to follow the ways of Paul.
First,it must not lessen the work among the tribals in favor of the
Burmese. This would be a mistake because the tribals would fall to the
pressure of the military government to become Burmese or Buddhist. Not
too long ago, a Church in the northern part of Myanmar are reporting
that officials are enter the Church and removed any recent converts.
Once out side the new convert is asked (under duress) to renounce
Christ and return to Buddha. Thus far there is no report of any one
having been injured, but it is a mixed blessing because all have
denounced their faith in Christ and returned to Buddhism.
 
Many Churches are part of an association which is not all bad because
it provide a form of protection against any single Church being
singled out for persecution. But our Church is an independent from
denominations. Because the Church is the founder is Christ and He
Himself is our redeemer and protector. The support of the mission work
in Myanmar can take other forms also. There must be a real outpouring
prayer for Myanmar, its leaders and its people. Please ask God to do a
great work in this country. We as national pastor in Myanmar deeply
needed, dedicated missionaries who can work with us.  I believe you
are God’s man who can stand with us to support financially and
spiritually. As with any Church mission work, financial support or
money is needed to continue the work of the ministry.
 
Paul collected money from Churches which were prospering to give to
those Churches that were lessen fortunate like Myanmar. The Churches
in the United States are truly blessed by the Lord and are unselfish
with willingness to share with the countries of the world. There are
no permanent, missionaries in Burma, and as a result the financial
needs of the national pastor like us, are not often
consider. Most of our library can be measured in inches. Books that
are doctrinally sound, and correct in nature need to be translated in
Burmese as well as some of the tribal languages. As Christian, one is
limited only by his willingness to surrender and seek God’s will for
Myanmar. As a national pastor in Burma, me and my family are willing
to be your representative missionary in this land. It is true that we
remained about 10 years in our mission work without any Macedonian
cries. But we apprehend that the time is now come when it is
consistent with strict prudence to lift up our voice and say,
“come over the ocean and help us.” As I have almost ten years of
working in Burma, many doubts, which at first occurred, are removed,
and many points concerning the practicability mission and the prospect
of success, are ascertained. We can not enter much into detail, but we
desire to say that we consider many Churches will be establish in this
land, a place where there is no truth.

 We unite in opinion that a wide
door is set open for the introduction of preaching the Gospel.
However, men and money must be forthcoming. Work can not be done
without men, and men can not work without bread; nor can we expect the
ravens to feed us in ordinary cases. I do not say, several hundreds of
missionaries are needed in Burma. This though true, would be idle
talk. My request I think modest. At least one dedicated man who can
work with us and stand behind us to hold the rope for us in Burma.
 
Brethren, fathers, will you be partner with us? And if health and life
be spared to us, we hope, through your partnership and that by the
grace of God , to see the Burmese also beginning to participate in the
same glorious light. Many years may intervene us, many difficulties
and disappointments may try your faith and ours. But let patience have
her perfect work, let us not be weary of well-doing ; for in due time
we shall reap if we faint not.
 
Finally, brethren, I would beseech you in the mercies of the Lord
Jesus Christ, to compassionate the poor Burmese and to send your
financial support and to send missionaries to the eastern part of the
world, to the help of the Lord against the mighty. If anyone who is
willing to be a part of the ministry in Burma you are so much welcome.
Well, it is very difficult foreigner to get for visa but not
impossible. Burmese people are waiting for you and they need to be
turned to Christ. Again, would you consider my family as your
representative national missionary in Burma? I am praying and look
forward to hear for your kind respond. If you have any question please
feel free to ask.
 
I am gladly sending you those who would recommend me and also some pictures
of our churches, the orphans and our pastors who minister along with us.

Dear Mighty 300 Ministries (USA)
 
Greetings in the lovely name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Looking for that blessed hope of great appearing of our great God. We
can take great encouragement in the eminent return of our God while
preaching on the unsearchable riches of Christ. By the grace of God
according to (Romans 8:28). First of all I would like to thank God for
this wonderful opportunity to introduce myself and to share with you
my ministry activities. I am bro.Thaung, a father of two
sons, nationality of Burma.
 
1. ORPHAN CHILDREN
After ten years of labors in the ministry of the Church with much
fervency of prayer the Lord added to expand to a larger ministry which
is the most nearest to the heart of God. That is an orphan children
ministry. In many occasion the Lord spoken my heart and laid the
burden upon my heart for this ministry even before we started this
ministry I have been often shared to the congregation by faith. Then
finally, the year 2008 May, there was a cyclone that hit Myanmar
especially in the delta areas and many children are left alone after
the cyclone killed their parents. This is the starting point that we
have this orphan children ministry and prepared them to live in a
rented facilities for the meantime until the Lord provide of our own.
We still pray for the house of our own. One committed couple who have
the burden and help me to take care of the children and guide them and
give them a godly counsel.
 
Now I am here with narrating you the exact conditions of orphan
children. Most of all the children who have lost their
parents with the cyclone Nargis, are totally helpless in the delta and
they are suffering a lot at their basic needs like food, clothing and
shelter. They are starving for days. They are struggling at their nest
facilities. They are helpless without neighbor treatment. Being a
Pastor and  preacher of the Word I pitied at their helpless stage. I
got much motivated by the verse in the book of (James 1:27) .Then I
prepared to host them through an orphanage .Our helpless orphan kids
are growing now on perfect healthy conditions. They are going to
school regularly by adapting ever-good habits under Christian
background. I believe that they should become as God’s servants in the
future. By such a pious target I am training them daily. I am going
through much trouble trying to provide for their needs. I have rent a
piece of land and planted mushroom which is our main supply in this
way we could hardly survive but so much troubles and limited. We are
really struggling for support financially. Please pray and take action
and send your lovely and sacrificial gifts to this home for FOOD,
CLOTHING AND SHELTER.I am praying to go in order to acquire any
heavenly support from any side. Since all these days I am searching
for a heavenly person like you in order to look into the need of our
orphan children ministry. Little support extended by you shall the
lives of our orphan children, and it shall be the heavenly blessing
for you and your family. Please pray and encourage for our orphan
children home by providing their needs FOOD, CLOTHING AND SHELTER and
etc in your best way through His blessings. These Orphan Children are
facing a world without family-without hope. If you speak to children
growing up in orphanages, on the street, you will find that they talk
of family and belonging. Many hope against hope that their parents
will return for them or that someone new will come to love them. Most
significant of all is that they have no father to guide them, no
mother to love them and no one to celebrate their accomplishments. Our
orphan children is almost identical to that children around the world.
Theft, prostitution, homelessness, substance abuse, incarceration and
suicide affect the lives of the majority of those children who grow up
as orphans and never find permanent, loving homes. The world is in
crisis. If nothing changes …nothing changes. And it is a crisis
involving which is extremely precious to the heart of God: orphans.
The problem of many orphans will not be solved by one group or one
Church or one man. The answer lies in great numbers of believers
especially  from us many places gathering together, creatively finding
solutions to solve small pieces of the orphan plight and saving lives
one by one! God says that He is the father of fatherless; orphans are
part of his royal family. He has asked us, the Church, to be his hands
extended and to love these children on His behalf. ‘Religion that is
pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans
and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the
world” (James 1:27)
 
The ultimate goal for the ministry is to provide a proper education in
all aspects of life to these precious kids so that one day they might
be equipped to bring hope through Christ to what is, without Christ a
hopeless situation. A $ 30 per month per child sponsorship can provide
for their food, clothing, medical, educational and spiritual needs.
Each dollar sent makes it possible to build God's 
people equipped to stand firm against increasing personal and societal
persecution in the land where false reliance on religious ritual,
tribal customs and Socialist dictatorship are doing their best to
silence the desire to hear the Gospel by many of Burmese.
 
Right now we have twelve children. The following are short information
or story of each kids:

1. My name is Yadana Oo. I am nine years old. My birthday is January

9.The story of how Aung Aung find his way to the OCM home is
heartbreaking. His father was a soldier but had to retire after an
accident which left him seriously ill. Early in March 2009 his father
fell sick and the family traveled from their home in province to bring
him to Yangon in the hope of finding free medical treatment. Sadly he
died only one hour after arriving at the hospital.
 
The family was so poor that they had to rely on the kindness of a
stranger at the hospital to pay for the costs of taking the father’s
body for the funeral ceremony. The kind Christian had heard of us and
we accepted him to our OCMH. He want to become a pastor.
 
10. Van Biak Lian was from Chin tribe. He was born into a very poor
family and when he was only eight months old his parents divorced.
Soon after he was abandoned by both and left to live with his great

neighbor’s cows for the rest of the day in return for rice. The family

Bible. Praise the Lord !
