Twenty-first century Shan mission project 144 to plan and work out very carefully. Several communications have been made with local leader Sai Thein Aung Kham, General Secretary of ShweLi Valley Shan Baptist Mission. Sai Thein Aung Kham, NamKham, sent the following letter to Sai Htwe Maung regarding preparation for Shan GCI in MayMyo. February 16, 1996 (Translated from Shan) Saya Sai Htwe and family, May God bless you all. May this year be a blessed year. I hope you have received my letter. Our ShweLi Baptist Association decided to have Great Commission Institute training in November. We expect 40 people to attend. Please continue giving us instruction regarding this training. If possible we want to have it in ShweLi. If not we will have it in LaShio. I have visited Shan Church in MuongMyit in January. One family has accepted the Lord. We have built a center in MuongMyit for students to live-in and go to school. It costs about Kyat 200,000. We now need about Kyat 50,000. We expect we can open it in June. Shan people from many places coming to the Lord now. But our ShweLi is still in the darkness. They do not accept the light of the Lord. We are planning to have a Church in LoiLom for Palong people. We are also going to have 40 days evangelistic training from April 1 to May 13. Please pray for us. Co-worker in Christ, Sai Thein Aung Kham Letter sent on June 29, 1998 Dear Dr. Htwe, Greeting in name of our precious Lord Jesus Christ. I received your letter dated June 6th and learned that you haven’t received my letter. Anyway I thank God for your letter reminding me about not receiving my letter regarding the forth-coming GCI training in November. As we had discussed in Rangoon, the training will be in MayMyo and the date will be 8.11.1998 to 20.11.1998 as you proposed. I would like to make 60 instead of 40 from ShweLi Shan since it is possible for them to travel to MayMyo. The EC of ShweLi Shan had divided participants according to Churches proportionately as MuSe 15, NongSanKone 15, SeLan 5, MyoMa 5, Chinese 3, ManBong 2, LaShio 5, MoGoke 2, MuongMyit 2, MuongHbar 2, Hill tribe 4. Will it be all right? In MayMyo we have some Shan believers whom we have relied on for our meal. They also entitled to attend. We will discuss later. Regarding translators we have Sai Htun Kyaw, Sai Aung Win and myself. If Sai Stephen comes he will be also ready to help. DaiMao and Burmese have to be used depend on situation. We’ll see to that. No problem. Regarding expenses; (all in Kyat) Traveling expenses; MuSe to MayMyo 4,000 each x2x60 Total 480,000 NamKham to MayMyo 4,500 each Allowance 400 each x2x60 Total 48,000 Lodging 200 each x14x60 Total 168,000 Meals 400 each x14x60 Total 336,000 Miscellaneous 8,000 Total 1,050,000 Kyat I have estimated on 60 participants. We need to give donation to the hall we use for training. You may estimate altogether about 1,100,000 Kyat. We are opening new fields in 9 areas and the Lord gives us good harvest. We plan to open another field in MuongWei and go full swing in Palong mission. We need your prayer and suggestion. Please write and inform your Mainland China mission so that we may also be somehow helpful to your mission. God bless our Dai people through your tireless toiling. May the Lord blessing be on you and your whole family. Abundant blessing, Yours in Christ' Service, Bro. Kham.
Twenty-first century Shan mission project 145 Sai Htwe Maung sent the following letter to Sai Thein Aung Kham on July 22, 1998. Greetings! I am writing to you to confirm the following points. 1. We have to change the training date to November 15-27, 1998 because Franklin & Katie cannot join us on the early date. We shall be arriving MayMyo on 14 th . We hope all trainees will also arrive on 14 th . 15 th is the first day and 27 th is graduation day. 2. We agree that the total number of trainees will be 60 (5 from Yangon, and 5 from Southern Shan State and 50 from the Northern Shan State ) 3. I hope Rev. Kham will screen and choose the most suitable trainees who are interested and willing to serve the Lord. 4. I will be recruiting 20 full-time evangelists to serve in full-time mission work after this training. In Christ, Sai Htwe Maung. Sai Thein Aung Kham sent the following letter to Sai Htwe Maung on August 3,1998 Dear Dr. Sai Htwe, Thank you for reminder regarding Nov. GCI, MayMyo. This is my third letter regarding our forth-coming training. There is no problem regarding date of our training. As for translators, we have Sai Aung Win, Rev. Sai Htun Kyaw, you and myself. If Rev. Sai Stephen comes he will be able to render some help. As for trainees I suggested 60. As we have discussed in Rangoon, 5 from Rangoon, 5 from S.S.S, 50 from ShweLi and some from MayMyo. At least our expenses will exceed Kyat 1,000,000. Pray that the Lord sees to our needs and provide all we need for training. Presently our evangelism department is outing to our Shan within Kachin State. The Lord has given us good harvests. Praise be His Name! Abundant blessing Yours in His Service, Rev. Sai Thein Aung Kham. Reported from Rev. Franklin and Katie Williamson We flew into Yangon and stayed overnight at the guesthouse of Sai Htwe Maung‘s sister. Then we took a plane to Mandalay and upon arriving, we traveled by van for about two and half hours driving up into the mountains to the city of MayMyo. It is a small town but very cool and quiet. The place where the training is held is a community hall of the local Karen Baptist Church. The students stayed across the road at a place called Forest Gate. It is an old house that was given to the community for retreats and training. It is a large old British style house. Everyone was sleeping on the floor on his or her mats. The men on one side and the women on the other. Everyone bathed outside at the well. The kitchen is also outside at the back of the house. The man who runs the places says he has NEVER had so many staying there at one time before. The most he had ever had was 30 and we have around 80 people this time. The GCI team stayed at a hotel within walking distance to the venue. It took about 20 or 30 minutes to walk. I am personally thankful we are not sleeping on the floor and bathing outside in the cold. Participants We had 72 full-time participants who stayed through the whole program, while some of the local people came and went. All of them are from Baptist Churches. They represent about 20 different Churches. They were each sent here by their local Churches for the training. Most are involved in some way in the ministry of the local Church. We had about equal women and men. Our oldest participants were two elderly women age 77 years. They were nurses who worked with Dr. Seagrave, who worked at NamKham hospital and a nursing training school one hundred years ago. They were present for EVERY session and one in particular would get to the scripture before anyone else. The one “grandmother” as the others called her is excellent in English. These two ladies live here in the city. Our youngest participant was a 17 year old. This young man is Chinese from up near the
