Letter from Rev. Shwe Htun, Secretary, ShweLi Valley Shan Baptist Mission, to U Kyaw Hla, LaShio.
31 March 1993.
Dear U Kyaw Hla,
Respectfully I write this letter to you. I have received your letter brought to me by Sai Ne Win. I
feel very sorry for what has happened.
Actually Sai Thein Aung Kham, Sai Htun Myat and I have read a letter from Sai Stephen and
we have made such arrangement (to bring the Shan Hymnbooks to ShweLi). We did not have intention
of making profit on it. As mentioned by Dr. Sai Htwe Maung, the copies of Hymnbooks are not 2,500
in number. In 18 big bags, there are 120 books in one bag. There are 18 bags. All together there are
2,160 books only. For LaShio Shan Church, Sai Ne Win has taken 1,000 copies from us to LaShio.
Now we have 1,160 in ShweLi. After we have sold them we will deduct our expenses on transportation
and send the balance to you. But I am too busy to do it now.
In His Service, Signed/ Rev. Shwe Htun
Letter from Rev. Sai Stephen, KengTung to Dr. Sai Htwe Maung, Hong Kong. 8 April 1993
Dear Dr. Sai Htwe Maung,
Greeting in Christ’s name.
I am now in Rangoon. I have applied for passport. I think I can get it in May. Please send air ticket by
10 May. Please let me know what do I need to bring to Hong Kong. I will get ready for Shan Mission
report. I don’t have coat to wear. Our one-month training finished on 28 March. 20 graduated. We
selected 5 and sent them out already. Our New Shan Hymnbooks have gone to all Shan Churches in
Myanmar. All the Churches are using it. I would like to thank you and Asian Outreach for sponsoring
this project. Most of all thank God! Please come and pick me up at Hong Kong airport. Otherwise I’ll
get lost.
Yours In Christ, Signed/ Sai Stephen
Letter from Rev. Sai Stephen, Associate Director, 21st Century Shan Mission Project, to Dr. Sai Htwe
Maung, Director, 21st Century Shan Mission Project. 6 September 1993
Dear Dr. Sai Htwe Maung,
By the grace of God we all are well. I have received your letter. I hope you may have received
my letter and budget proposal.
1. Regarding Shan radio broadcast many people are listening. Sai On, who writes you letter, listens
every morning. He goes to other people’s home and helps them tune in your program. He asks many
Buddhist friends to listen. I heard a Buddhist family in MuongLan listen to your program every
morning. FEBC mistakenly broadcast Christmas program from August 15-21. They have to be a little
more careful about it.
2. After coming back from Hong Kong I traveled to MuongYang and TaChiLeik and preached to them.
3. You can send gospel tract to Maesai address.
4. Please ask AO to send me Asian Report monthly.
5. I’ll try to go to MuSe in December Centennial Celebration.
May God bless you.
Signed/ Sai Stephen
