April 2026 Ministry Update
“God is at Work in the Midst of Crisis”
We are living witnesses to the undeniable reality that the Lord is powerfully at work across Myanmar. Even in the midst of ongoing political instability and economic hardship, the Gospel continues to advance in ways that remind us: what God opens, no one can shut.
Daily life remains difficult for many communities. Travel restrictions, rising costs, and uncertainty affect nearly every aspect of ministry. Yet in these very الظروف, God is creating opportunities—softening hearts, opening villages, and drawing people to Himself.
Our church planters faithfully press forward, often under significant limitations. Some are ministering in areas where trust must be built from the ground up, while others are witnessing a remarkable openness to the Word of God. Across all regions, one truth stands clear: there is a deep hunger for truth, hope, and love.
April 2026 Church Planting Impact Report
This past month has been a powerful season of both sowing and reaping in fields that are spiritually ready, though physically challenging.

Field Insights
1. Diverse Spiritual Conditions
In some regions, hearts are open and responsive, leading to immediate fruit. In other places, our teams are in the early “entry stage,” faithfully investing time to build relationships, earn trust, and demonstrate Christ’s love in practical ways.
2. Ongoing Challenges
Transportation continues to be one of the greatest obstacles. Local restrictions and rising costs make travel difficult, yet our teams still reached 147 villages and towns—a testimony to their perseverance and commitment.
3. Growing Communities of Faith
With 110 churches now gathering, we are witnessing the steady growth of local fellowships. However, this growth also brings an urgent need for:
- Discipleship
- Leadership development
- Ongoing pastoral training
The harvest is increasing—and so is the need for equipped laborers.
We are deeply grateful for the faithful partnership of World Link Ministries. Your support enables this work to continue in one of the most challenging mission fields in the world.
But the need is still great.
We invite you to prayerfully consider joining us in this mission:
- Stand with us in prayer
- Support church planters on the frontlines
- Invest in discipleship and leadership training
- Be part of bringing the hope of Christ to unreached communities
Together, we can continue to see lives transformed and communities renewed by the power of the Gospel.

Children’s Teacher Training Report (April 20–23, 2026)
We give thanks to the Lord for opening a precious opportunity to invest in the next generation of leaders. From April 20–23, young people under the globalfingerprints / Hope for the New Generation Sponsorship Program gathered at the Chhuana Training Center for a four-day Children’s Teacher Training, held in meaningful partnership with CEF Myanmar.
This training was more than just a program—it was a time of spiritual growth, practical equipping, and deep fellowship. In a season where young leaders face many uncertainties, God provided a space for learning, encouragement, and renewed vision.
A Time of Equipping and Transformation
We are deeply grateful to CEF Myanmar for their commitment in dedicating four full days to train and mentor our young teachers. Through their guidance, participants were equipped with:
- Effective and engaging methods for teaching children
- Creative approaches to communicate biblical truths clearly
- Practical tools for classroom management and lesson planning
- A deeper understanding of their calling to serve the next generation
Each session was designed not only to teach how to lead, but also to shape the heart of a teacher—one that reflects Christ’s love, patience, and faithfulness.
Growing Together in Unity
Beyond the training sessions, this gathering became a meaningful time of fellowship and connection. Young people from different areas came together, sharing experiences, encouraging one another, and building relationships that will last far beyond these four days.
There was joy in learning, laughter in fellowship, and a strong sense of unity among participants. These moments have created lasting memories and laid a firm foundation for future collaboration in ministry.
A Lasting Impact
We believe the seeds planted during these four days will bear fruit for years to come. These young teachers are now returning to their communities better prepared, more confident, and spiritually strengthened to serve in their churches.
As they step into ministry, we pray they will:
- Teach with clarity and passion
- Lead with humility and love
- Inspire children to grow in their faith
- Become faithful servants who multiply their impact
Gratitude and Appreciation
We extend our heartfelt thanks to:
- Our dedicated trainers from CEF Myanmar
- The enthusiastic and committed participants
- Our valued ministry partners
- Faithful supporters and sponsors who made this training possible
Your investment is shaping lives and building the future of the Church.
Moving Forward Together
This training is not the end—it is the beginning of a greater mission. The need for equipped children’s teachers across Myanmar is growing, and the opportunity to impact young lives has never been more urgent.
We invite you to continue partnering with us:
- Pray for these young teachers as they begin their ministry
- Support ongoing training and development programs
- Encourage the next generation of leaders
Together, we are not only teaching children—we are shaping the future.
By equipping these young teachers today, we are impacting generations for Christ tomorrow.
Finally, we give thanks to the Lord for His faithfulness and for your meaningful partnership in this ministry. Your prayers and financial support are making a real and lasting difference across Myanmar.
Because of you, many are encountering Jesus Christ, experiencing transformed lives, and walking in the joy of new life in Him. Children in our program are especially being blessed—their education is improving, their confidence is growing, and they are beginning to discover the spiritual gifts and talents God has given them to serve His Kingdom.
Your partnership is not only meeting immediate needs; it is shaping futures and raising a generation with hope, purpose, and faith.
Thank you for standing with us. Together, we are seeing lives changed for eternity.
