"To fulfill the Great Commission of Christ by planting new Churches in places where there are no churches"
Our ministry is currently navigating a season of significant obstacles that limit our reach and operational capacity.
The primary challenges include:
Displacement and lack of Permanent Base:
Due to ongoing conflict, we are currently operating in the state of displacement (seeking refuge). The lack of a permanent house or land prevents us from formally establishing and planting a stable local church.
Housing and Accommodation Crisis;
Because we are the large group, finding suitable houses to rent is extremely difficult, leaving us without proper or stable accommodation.
Severe Budget Constraints;
We are facing critical financial shortages. This lack of budget strictly limits our ability to support, send out, and sustain ministers and field workers.
Transportation Limitations;
The ministry severely lacks logistical support and transportation assets (such as cars or motorcycles), which greatly hinders our mobility and limits our access to different mission fields.
Despite this pressing hardship, our passing for the Gospel remains unshaken, and we continue to actively serve through the following ongoing programs:
Monthly Salvation Training;
Once a month, we consistently organize and conduct Salvation Training seminars specifically designed for non-believers to hear and understand the massage of hope.
Active Evangelism;
We are dedicated to ongoing outreach, actively sharing the Gospel and evangelizing to those in need, making the most of every opportunity given to us.
"We earnestly request your prayers and partnership as we strive to overcome these logistical and financial hurdles to expand God's Kingdom."
Before the crisis, our ministry possessed a dedicated team of ministers and well-established local churches. However, due to the conflict, we were forced to leave our churches behind and flee to Yangon. Crucially, we did not flee alone; we fled together with the orphan children under our ministry's care.
In Yangon, the harsh economic reality has forced our former ministry partners to struggle individually for their own daily survival, leaving us to carry the weight of both the ministry and childcare with very few hands. Yet, we refuse to give up. We are actively praying to send out full-time missionaries again, and we are striving to plant a new church and establish a safe haven for these children right here in Yangon.
Orphan Care in Displacement: Providing daily meals, healthcare, and education for a large group of orphan children while living in displacement is our heaviest and most urgent responsibility.
Housing and Rent Crisis: Because we are a large family composed of these children and workers, finding a suitable house to rent in Yangon is extremely difficult, and exorbitant rental costs drain our minimal resources.
Loss of Team Synergy & Mission Budget: Our former ministers are scattered and consumed by personal survival. We desperately need financial stability so that our remaining workers can focus entirely on ministry and childcare without worrying about basic survival.
Lack of Mobility: Transporting children or traveling to mission fields on foot without any vehicle (car or motorcycle) is highly challenging and inefficient in a busy city like Yangon.
Maximizing Rented and Believers' Spaces: Since we lack a permanent church building, we utilize rented homes in strategic locations. We also deeply rely on the hospitality of local believers who open their doors to host our monthly programs.
Unshaken Faith and Ongoing Outreach: Despite these heavy burdens, the Gospel is not chained. We continue to hold our Monthly Salvation Training for non-believers and actively evangelize, bringing the Message of Hope to those around us.
Orphan Care Sponsorship: Consistent funding for food, clothing, medical care, and education for the orphan children.
Land and Permanent Shelter: Financial assistance to purchase land or a permanent property to safely settle the children and formally plant the church.
Mission Budget for Ministers: Monthly support for our dedicated ministers so they can commit to full-time ministry and child care.
Logistical Support (Vehicles): Provision of or funding for practical transportation, specifically motorcycles or a secondhand car, for ministry mobility and the children's needs.
"We warmly invite you to partner with us through prayers, financial contributions, or material resources as we strive to bring the Light of Christ to those living in darkness and displacement."
