Good and Faithful Servants
Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in, I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you visited Me.’Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? When did we see You sick or in prison and visit You?’ And the King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’
Matthew 25:34-40
Dear Supporters,
- Pray for the young people of Myanmar who are actively being conscripted.
- Pray for Samuel, Judah and Khaw’s youngest son, that he would be able to stay safe and be able to get an education visa from the US embassy which just reopened in Yangon.
- Pray that Judah and Khaw’s daughter Zamiwayne is able to complete her education in the US.
- Pray for our disaster relief efforts. Thousands are continually in need of food, clothing, medical supplies, and new roofs. On July 1 severe flooding in northern Myanmar has left about 10,000 people homeless including churches and families that we help support.
- Praise that over 500 children came to the church event we hosted and had a wonderful time and heard the gospel preached.
- Praise that 6 children (5 from our Yangon Children’s Home) accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior and were baptized on July 6.
- Praise that Zamiwayne completed her first year at JUFL with a GPA of 3.9! She plans to attend JUTN in the fall. Praise that their son Jonathan is doing well at his job and that James is safely living in another country.
Judah invited 10 churches to come for a special children’s event at his home church and Children’s Home in Wireless (Yangon). Over 500 children attended not including adults! They all had a wonderful time and the kids from the Children’s Home did skits about Bible stories and led singing.
Update from Judah on our mission and current situation in Myanmar:
- The Children’s Home kids are ok, We have 80 kids total: 52 kids in Yangon, 15 in Jung Byaw, 11 in Putao, and 2 in Bago.
- We have 8 bible students.
- Some of our evangelists and preachers live in very dangerous areas. Please pray for them.
- Our electrical power is very limited and is getting much worse.
- We are not allowed to use Facebook or Messenger or VPN.
- The exchange rate is higher but the price of goods and services is even higher and people are suffering. Rice, oil, gasoline, medicine, and all staples are very expensive.
- Right now it is very confusing and difficult living under 2 authorities in Myanmar.:
- God is still using us to reach the lost and most recently we hosted an event for unbelievers and the gospel was preached effectively to women, men and children. (pictured below)
I sometimes get discouraged and have a hard time sleeping. I have had bad dreams that cause me to struggle with fears and sometimes I just want to sit and do nothing. But God has been faithful to encourages me and remind me of the purpose He has given me. I know that I am God’s servant and I am doing what he has called me to do. He wants both Khaw and me to be here in the midst of this terrible time to show hope to the hopeless. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
Severe flooding due to heavy rain and river flooding displaces residents and destroys homes and food supplies in Northern Myanmar. Pictured above is in Kachin state’s city of Myitkyina on July 1, 2024. If you would like to help supply food and building materials please donate and designate “Disaster Relief”.
Children’s Home birthday celebrations.
Children who accept Christ as their savior are baptized (with parents permission) and given their own Bible. Your faithful and generous support makes this possible!
