I think God is using me in Shan ministry to have a great burden of my uneducated people. I
confess that we, Shan Christians, are so weak and so poor. We cannot bear or take this great
responsibility. But we know that our Father in heaven is so rich. Through Him we can do every thing.
We know that our project is only a minor case before the Lord. We have faith in Him. Whether we get
the supporting finance from others or not we will not stop our program. We will continue doing as good
as we can. But we believe that God will grant us what we need.
May God bless you all.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Signed/ Rev. Sai Stephen.
Letter from Dr. Sai Htwe Maung to Sai Stephen, Cc to Sai Thein Aung Kham, Saya Shwe Htun, U Kyaw

Dear Saya Sai Stephen,
I have received your letter. The testimonies of the trainees are very encouraging. We are very
happy. We are praying for seven evangelists who are going to evangelize seven villages. Continue
doing His work of salvation. Whatever we are doing He is with us. We cannot hide from Him or lie to
Him. Whatever we do one day we have to open up in front of Him. We believe God will give us crown
of blessing richly.
I have told David Wang about your training. They are very happy. They will put information in
Asian Report. We need picture. Please send me as soon as possible.
You can use the money left in your hand as you think appropriate. I agree. I need a man who can help
me in my radio program. Is there any one interested and dedicated for this radio ministry? If there is
any one interested I will call him to Hong Kong, I’ll give him a place to live, food to eat and pocket
money HK$ 1,000 monthly. He or she should be Shan, know how to read and write Shan, speak Shan
fluently and interested in mission and dedicated. Let him/her write her CV to me as soon as possible.
Please make announcement of this news to all our Shan Churches.
