Remote seminar attendees.

Location where Pastor Luke held Seminar. PTL!!

I would like to testify you about Kunti Chaung village mission trip.
Bro. Lyankone and I went to Kunti chaung village, Bogalay township, Arra waddy division, one of the nargis area, on 17th December 09. There is 800 houses, no Christian, no church, all are Buddhists. We arranged the seminar at the house of Brother Yankyi Aung who was born Christian family, living there after getting marriage Buddhist girl, never comes to the church.
13 peoples of that village could attend the seminar and another 7 people of the near village where we did last year seminar attending too, with their boat. So total 20 peoples in the seminar.

We use to feed the people who attends the seminar and give some money as they are workers. But in this time I had nothing to give them, struggling to come that place for even our traveling fare.
So I told the in charge of the seminar that I have no money to feed them and give the money for their absent work, but you can borrow from some one and I will pay you back when I come home. And we just starting the seminar.
The lord did miracle in the seminar. When the couple of the house owner where we did the seminar, listening to the gospel, they said that they will feed the team. And the 7 old peoples of last year seminar paid the worker wage for a new 13 peoples. They all testified that they were free from Hell even they are Buddhists.
At the last day, all the old peoples of last year seminar of the near village joined us, and had dinner together proving by the old peoples.
They were so happy and giving both of us 3 packs of rice, dried fishes, dried shrimp, duck eggs--etc.

This Burmese Pastor is doing great work for the Kingdom! He needs our support for the children!!

Dear Bill and Connie

I received your sending fund 1,200US from you, and 1,000US from Pat and Windy today. We are saving this fund for the second installment. Thank you so much for your love and kindness upon me.

The condition of our new land is that; we have paid the land owner (widow) 4’000.00US in 28’000.00 as first installment on 24 Feb, 2010, and agreeing to pay her second installments around 10’000.00US in May, and the rest will be paid in July. But we failed to give second installment in May and requested her again to postpone until the end of this month in June for second installments. If we can pay this second installments maybe she will postpone the last installments too.

Now we are trying to sell our properties, (1) Boys hostel in North Dagon, estimate 4’000.00US, (2) Paddy field in Hlegu, estimate 3’000.00US, (3) Sand garden in Hlegu, estimate 10’000.00US. We the staffs did 3 days praying & fasting twice at prayer garden. We try to do again. God bless you.

Myanmar Report - "What it really is like in this dark country"

Remember The Burmese Christians from the June 01, 2010 eNews issue
http://www.khouse.org (visit our website for a FREE subscription)

When the Irish Christian band Bluetree sneaked into Burma (Myanmar) to play music to the Karen Christians there, the band members believed
they were doing something dangerous. They did not appreciate until they got back into Thailand that they had come very close to being
slaughtered.

Four percent of Burma's 53.4 million people are Christians, according to the CIA World Factbook. (Voice of the Martyrs believes 8.7 percent are
Christian.) The exact numbers are hard to know, however, since much of the Burmese church faces daily danger. Religious freedom is on the books
in Burma, but it is no secret that Christians are targeted and killed in this country torn by civil war.

The band Bluetree had done some singing in Thailand and had even started a ministry to rescue people from the sex trade. Their time in Thailand
inspired a song "God Of This City" that has since grown popular in America. Just recently, the musicians had the opportunity to go into Burma and
sing for Christians there. They would have to sneak in by a dry river bed in the middle of the night and bring along food, clothing, Bibles - and
whiskey to bribe the militia that would otherwise attack the villages.

The trip in was successful, and after bribing the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army with food and alcohol, they were allowed to enter a refugee camp
and sing. They had just a short few hours to stay, though, because they could be executed if the Myanmar army showed up.

Before Bluetree started back to Thailand, though, the DKBA general wanted the musicians to play for him. (There's a hunger for something better
even with that general.) And before they could get a song started, soldiers from the Myanmar army spotted them and began screaming up at the
white men on the general's balcony.

"We were told later their general said we're not even going to waste our bullets with them, we're just going to slice their throats," lead singer Aaron
Boyd said from his home in Belfast, Northern Ireland. "Bottom line was our guy, whatever he did, whatever he said, managed to calm the whole
thing down."

Bluetree drove straight back to Thailand after that, and soon gave a concert to 20,000 Karen refugees there. One little 8-year-old girl pleaded with
Boyd, "Please don't ever forget about me. Don't forget me."
We know that we take our freedoms for granted in the West. We are free to spread the Gospel on the radio or do baptisms in the local lake if we
choose. And people are free to tell us to jump in the lake if they choose. The freedom to criticize the government, to worship without harassment,
to be different without being considered a threat to one's country – this is a wonderful blessing.
Bluetree spent a single day in Burma.

Millions of Christians (4 percent of 53.4 million is 2.14 million; 4 percent of 8.7 percent is 4.6 million) call
Burma their home, and face danger every day for not conforming to the Buddhist military government's desire for one language, one ethnicity and
one religion. These precious people need to be remembered, along with that 8-year-old Karen child living in a Thai refugee camp. They are our
brothers and sisters too, and they need prayer.

When we pray, God does great things, and He can continue to give safety to the missionaries – and occasional musical groups– that risk their lives
to bring the Word of God into this suffering country.
