March 2026 ( Part 2)

Strengthened by Grace, Sent with Purpose

Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We thank God for His faithfulness throughout the month of March. Despite ongoing challenges in our nation, the Lord continues to open doors for ministry, discipleship, and leadership development. We remain deeply grateful for your prayers and partnership in advancing the Gospel in Myanmar.

March 14 – Strategic Ministry Partnership & Church Planting Vision

A key highlight this month was the visit of Dr. Neil from the Philippines, who traveled to Yangon and Mandalay.

Together, we engaged in:

  • Interviewing and assessing potential church planters
  • Strengthening a new partnership under World Link Ministries

This initiative is part of the “Accelerated Church Planting Movement in Myanmar”, with a vision to establish:

  • 100 churches
  • Through 33 church planters

This is a significant new ministry partnership God has entrusted to us in 2026.

At the same time, we were blessed by a visit from Mark (ReachGlobal). We shared a meaningful dinner fellowship, discussing what God is doing in Myanmar—especially in church planting. It was a great encouragement to have both Dr. Neil and Mark together, as they share a deep passion for expanding God’s Kingdom through church planting.

March 19 – Mission Conference Participation

We had the privilege of attending the Full Gospel Assembly Mission Conference for one day.

During this time:

  • We heard powerful and inspiring messages
  • Reconnected with ministry friends and leaders
  • Had fellowship with Rev. Dr. Mung Taung and his wife

It was both spiritually refreshing and encouraging to stand together with other ministry leaders who share the same mission heart.

March 27 onward – Extended Mission Trip

We began an extended mission trip to:

  • Mandalay
  • Nay Pyi Taw
  • Shan State

During this trip, we:

  • Met church planters both individually and in groups
  • Visited their families and ministry locations
  • Provided coaching, encouragement, and mentoring

This was a very full and demanding schedule, but also deeply meaningful. We witnessed firsthand the commitment and sacrifices of those serving in difficult regions.

We are reminded that this work is not by our own strength, but by God’s wisdom, grace, and empowerment.

Children & Education Ministry – “Hope for the New Generation”

At the same time, our children’s ministry in Yangon, “Hope for the New Generation,” has launched:

  • Summer School Programs
  • Basic English Classes

These are currently running in two locations.

A great joy in this ministry is seeing:

  • Older teenagers teaching younger children
  • Youth taking responsibility and growing as leaders

This is not only education—it is discipleship and leadership development for the next generation.

We are especially thankful for our partnership with GlobalFingerprints (EFCA), supporting this ministry in both Yangon Region and Ayeyarwady Region.

Reflection

March has been a month filled with travel, leadership development, strategic partnerships, and ministry expansion. Though physically demanding, it has been spiritually fruitful and significant.

We continue to depend fully on God’s strength, wisdom, and guidance as we serve His calling in Myanmar.
