I now believe that you know what I have done for ShweLi <strong>Shan</strong> Baptist Mission and all <strong>Shan</strong><br />

<strong>Churches</strong> and the <strong>Shan</strong> people. Please do not say that I have done noth<strong>in</strong>g for you and given noth<strong>in</strong>g to<br />

you. Please do not have suspicion on me. God knows all th<strong>in</strong>gs. God sees the heart. We cannot hide<br />

anyth<strong>in</strong>g from Him. We can lie to the people but we cannot lie to God. Please try your best to serve the<br />

Lord <strong>in</strong> <strong>Shan</strong> Mission. <strong>Shan</strong> are not only <strong>in</strong> ShweLi. <strong>Shan</strong> are everywhere <strong>in</strong> Asia. Please don’t look so<br />

narrow. Look wider. Have the forgiv<strong>in</strong>g heart. Do not have the heart <strong>of</strong> jealousy. Do not be conformed<br />

to the world. Please know that religion or organization cannot save the soul. Salvation is from Christ<br />

only. The Church cannot convert the people but the gospel preached by the servant <strong>of</strong> God. I am<br />

pray<strong>in</strong>g for you all.<br />
