Report May 2026
Shalom and greetings to you in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
It is with immense joy, humility, and a profound sense of gratitude that we present to you the
comprehensive Mission Field Report for the month of May 2026.
The Apostle Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 3:9 that “we are co-workers in God’s service.” The
breakthroughs detailed in this report are a living testament to that truth. This past month has been
marked by a remarkable acceleration of the Holy Spirit. Despite navigating deep-seated spiritual
deception, logistical hardships, and challenging physical terrains, our church planters have pushed
past their personal comfort zones to establish new worship cells, witness genuine character
transformations, and welcome dozens of new converts into the heavenly family.
As you read through the main report points, summary thanksgiving, field challenges, and strategic
prayer requests, our hope is that you feel deeply connected to the harvest. Every soul won, every
local leader raised, and every village reached is a direct fruit of your unwavering commitment.
Your faithful financial backing provides the material lifelines needed to sustain these ministries,
while your steadfast prayers serve as a spiritual shield for our workers on the front lines.
Thank you for co-laboring with us to ensure that the unreached people of Myanmar encounter the
life-changing light of the Gospel. May the Lord Jesus Christ receive all the glory, and may He
richly bless you for your continuous generosity and partnership.
1. General Report
Across the respective mission fields, church planters are actively utilizing diverse evangelistic
formats, breaking into new frontiers, and witnessing strategic development within their
communities:
• Massive Evangelistic Reach & Receptivity: Hundreds of unreached villagers across
multiple target areas are hearing the Gospel weekly. Planters like Myo Myint Aung, Brang
Aung Mai, and Pann Yone noted a massive increase in weekly attendance and outreach
numbers, finding a distinct wave of openness sweeping through communities. In total,
regional reach expanded widely as multiple planters pushed operations simultaneously
across 3 to 5 different towns or villages this month.• Strategic Expansion of Worship and Bible Studies: Planters are successfully
establishing regular spiritual hubs across multiple communities. Regular services and
studies are now operational across 3 to 4 distinct locations per planter, with hopes to plant
even more gathering places in the near future. Consistently maintained weekly home cells
and Bible studies have helped expand discipleship numbers heavily.
• Diverse Evangelistic Formats & Group Effectiveness: Frontline workers are leveraging
multiple methods to spread the Word. Gam Aung successfully combined focused home
visitations with both group and personal evangelism, while Michael engaged large village
gatherings where crowds listened carefully to the message. Additionally, sharing the
Gospel in group dynamics has proven to be notably easier and highly effective for
community engagement this month.
• Practical Impact of Ministry Training: Structured training continues to yield immediate
field results. David Ling emphasized that specialized Zoom training drastically enhanced
his ministry by teaching him how to be a “good listener,” causing many new families to
welcome him into their homes. Similarly, Lal Hun Ruati noted that lessons covering
personal ministerial responsibilities deeply moved her, providing a framework she
practically implemented during field evangelism.
• Character Transformation & Indigenous Leadership: Believers are experiencing deep
spiritual changes. Salai Aung Lay reported observable character transformations among
those being discipled, and Myo Myint Aung noted that believers are actively standing up
to share personal testimonies during worship. This growing maturity is paving the way for
emerging local leaders; Win Htet Aung highlighted that a recent convert, Mr. Kyaw Naing,
is currently preparing for baptism and is being positioned to lead an entirely new church
plant.
• Deepened Relationship Building & Generational Discipleship: Ministry is advancing
through follow-up and hospitality, as seen when Htay Htay reconnected with families from
the previous month, leading to personal invitations where locals called her directly to come
and pray over their homes. Active outreach is also penetrating generational demographic
lines, with church planters like Zaung Zel dedicating intentional weekly ministry slots to
mentoring unbelieving children and youth.
Summary of May 2026
• Number of People Evangelized – 7,566
• Number of Converts – 58
• Number of People in Bible Studies -385
• Number of Bible Studies Held This Month – 165
• Number of Towns & Villages Reached -137
• Number of Gathering Churches – 123
2. Thanksgiving
We pause to give profound, joyous thanks to the Lord for the tangible miracles, spiritual fruit, and
divine growth harvested across the villages this month:
• The Abundant Harvest of Souls: We praise God for the beautiful expansion of His
heavenly family. We notably celebrate 20 new converts under Sam Sum Lara’s
ministry, 11 new converts through Doun Hlae’s ministry, 5 converts under Ro Thar
Nghak, 5 converts under Than Win Tin, 3 converts under Yaw Set, 3 converts under
Thein Htun, 2 converts under Seng Maw, 2 converts under Bei Khai Ngia, and 1 new
converteach through Gam Aung, Ye Kyaw Oo, Lin Aung, Lal Hun Ruati, Daw Kanlone,
and Pann Yone.
• Spontaneous Hunger for God: We thank God for breaking down spiritual barriers. In
Sam Sum Lara’s field, an incredible phenomenon occurred where numerous uninvited
seekers began spontaneously showing up at worship services out of a sheer desire to know
Christ.
• Open Doors, Favor, and Growth: We are deeply grateful for the divine favor that has
opened brand new geographic doors for the Gospel. God has granted our planters an
improved, highly collaborative environment where local people are actively volunteering
to help push the ministry forward. Furthermore, planters are experiencing personal
sharpening, with workers like Kwi Kwi noting deep personal growth while teaching, and
Saw Lian Thang expressing gratitude for the vital opportunity to partner with the
Accelerated Church Planting Movement.
3. Ministry Challenges
While the harvest is plentiful, our church planters are navigating critical front-line barriers that
require steadfast resilience and supernatural endurance:
• The Battle for Disciple-Making & Skepticism: A primary hurdle is moving people from
initial interest to deep, enduring, Christ-like discipleship while helping new converts stand
strong against spiritual temptations. This is often made harder by local reluctance; Doun
Hlae noted that despite willingness from some, many villagers remain deeply hesitant to
commit, and Ye Kyaw Oo highlighted the difficulty of working in a brand-new field with
“heart hardened” people.
• Pushing Past Personal Comfort Zones & Deep Spiritual Deception: The ministry
requires traveling into completely unfamiliar territories, forcing planters like Bei Khai Ngia
to go to places they have never visited before and historically had never wanted to go.
Reaching deeply rooted religious communities also remains a fierce focus of warfare; Seng
Maw emphasized the ongoing challenge of searching for the lost who are bound under
heavy idolatry, animism, and spiritual deception.
• Unmet Salvations Despite Massive Reach: Maintaining endurance when a harvest is
delayed is a real trial. Saw Chit Ko Ko successfully reached a staggering number of people(ranging from 130 to 145 individuals weekly), yet had to navigate the heavy emotional
challenge of not seeing a single person accept the Lord yet.
• Logistical, Infrastructure, & Severe Transportation Barriers: Navigating between
remote towns and villages remains a prominent issue. Planters are heavily restricted by a
lack of reliable field vehicles, limiting mobility across multi-village circuits. Furthermore,
planters face a lack of physical church buildings or land, unexpected local opposition, and
an urgent need for technological tools—specifically tablet devices—to show gospel videos
to villagers.
4. Main Prayer Points
We earnestly request your focused intercession for the following urgent front-line needs:
• Spiritual Maturation & Household Salvation: Pray that the new converts will grow
robustly in their faith day by day. Lift up Sam Sum Lara’s request that the entire immediate
and extended families of these new converts will also come to accept Christ. Pray that those
who hear the Word will experience transformed hearts, fully surrender to Jesus as Savior,
and step away from idol worship.
• Targeted Care and Preparation for Baptism: Pray for the new believers under Win Htet
Aung’s care, that their hearts will be completely ready for the step of holy baptism. Lift up
Pann Yone’s specific request for a new convert who is the only daughter in her family.
• Protection, Safety, and Divine Guidance: Pray for absolute protection over teams facing
hostility or unexpected field problems. Pray for the continual guidance and wisdom of the
Holy Spirit as planters lead Bible studies, coordinate worship services, and look for
“persons of peace” to establish new ministries.
• Logistical, Material, and Infrastructure Provisions:
o Pray for the provision of essential ministry transportation, specifically a licensed
motorcycle, a tri-wheel motorbike, and a battery-bike.
o Intercede for the financial means to acquire physical plots of land for church
planting and to construct new church buildings.
o Pray for basic ministry provisions, such as relational hospitality items
(snacks/food) and resources to help families whose houses were completely
destroyed.
• Physical Healing and Family Restoration:
o Lift up Win Htet Aung, who is asking for complete healing from persistent chest
pain, and pray for the physical health and safety of planters Gam Aung, Michael,
Saw Lian Thang, Brang Aung Mai, and Thein Htun.
o Intercede specifically for the healing of Ye Kyaw Oo’s sick wife, child, and mother,
as well as Lin Aung’s family and a local observer suffering from leg pain.
5. Thank You Note to Financial Supporters and Prayer Warriors
From the depths of our hearts, we want to say thank you. Your continuous prayers and faithful
financial backing are the true lifelines that sustain us on the mission field. The reports of broken
chains, newly planted churches, spontaneous salvations, and transformed characters across these
villages are your fruit as much as ours.You have not just funded a ministry; you have directly co-labored with the Holy Spirit to transform
eternity for hundreds of families in Myanmar. Thank you for standing with us, shielding us in
prayer, and ensuring that the light of Christ reaches the farthest, darkest corners. May the Lord
Jesus Christ receive all the glory, and may He pour back into your lives an abundant, running-over
blessing!
In His Service,
Rev. Ngeng Chhuana
