Dear Saya,
Greeting in Jesus’ name. By the grace of God our Shan Hymnbooks have arrived. I have sent
2,168 copies in 10 boxes to TaungGyi designated for ShweLi Shan Baptist Association. Please make
contact with Saya Sai Htun Myat or Saya U Khun Aye Pe and take it to NamKham as soon as possible.
The books will be in the hand of U Khin Maung Hlat who helps transport them to TaungGyi. You have
to settle with U Khin Maung Hlat for transportation expenses. Transportation expenses from
TaChiLeik, KengTung and TaungGyi will be Kyat 15 per book, for 2,160 books will cost Kyat 32,400.
We have many difficulties in transportation. But we will not count it at all. Please come and take them
quickly.
In His Service, Signed/ Sai Stephen,

Htwe Maung, Hong Kong. 8 March 1993
Dr. Sai Htwe and family,
Greeting in the name of our precious Lord Jesus Christ!
Thank you for your New Shan Hymnbook. I have heard that it has arrived TaungGyi. May the Lord
bless you more. I have heard from Sai Stephen that we can sell the book Kyat 250 each. We can deduct
for our transportation expenses and the remaining balance can be used for our Shan mission. Is it true?
Please kindly write official letter to us. We praise God for wisdom He has entrusted to you for our Shan
Missions.
Our 3 months training has finished. 12 graduated. 2nd batch will begin on 1 June. We expect 15-20
trainees. Please pray for us. We expect later we can have a Bible School. We would like to see you
come and participate our ShweLi Mission Centennial Celebration from 23-27 December 1993. Please
write and share your vision to enrich our Shan ministry. We have received your New Shan Hymnbook
2,160 in number. Thank you very much. We are praying for you,
Signed/ Sai Thein Aung Kham.
