In 2013 we poured our hearts into 20 new leaders of the Myanmar Christian Fellowship in Penang Malaysia. They added a new campus to the work and organized an outreach where 500 people attended and heard the gospel preached, demonstrated through drama, testimonies of God’s amazing grace, and sung about by professional Myanmar Christian singers.
But, one of the most exciting things that happened was the discovery of 30 villages along the Thai/Laos border where the name of Jesus has never been proclaimed. I got to visit one of our church plants in that region. The church has 150 people from a village of 300. Located along a mountain range that runs along the Thai/Laos border in the Nan province, is the Boklua district with more than 10,000 Khatin and Khamet Laos. In 1975, these two people groups fled the communist takeover of Laos and made the Boklua district their home. It was a great honor spending a week with Pastor Nott from Lom Sak reaching out to some of the villages in that district. We ministered in a village of around 300 that has been reached. Nott reached one woman for Christ and that one woman opened the door for the Gospel. Now there are 150 people in that church today.
The next night we traveled to another village where much the same thing had taken place. One family was brought to Christ and as a result there is a church of 80 people worshiping Christ.
