Appendix 319<br />

(1996-1998)<br />

Letter from Rev. Sai Stephen, KengTung, Eastern <strong>Shan</strong> State to Dr. Sai Htwe Maung, Hong Kong.<br />

8 January 1996<br />

Dr. Sai Htwe Maung,<br />

Greet<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> His name. Please forgive me for my late reply. I have received your letter and post<br />

card.<br />

I got back from Rangoon to KengTung on 16 November 1995 and went to MuongYang and<br />

WanTai for evangelism. On 6 January all the villagers <strong>of</strong> WanTai accepted the Lord and abandoned<br />

their spirit worship. I have sent Sai Chit Aye (TaungGyi GCI graduate) to take care <strong>of</strong> this village. They<br />

will be baptized soon. On 10 December, 31 people baptized <strong>in</strong> WanSe<strong>in</strong>g where Sai Kong is work<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

We went to MuongYawng by motorcycle on 26 December. We also take the boat along NamLwi River<br />

to other villages. We met Sai Simon (Maesai GCI graduate) at WanSao. We also dedicated a Church<br />

there. We had to go up and down the hill for two hours and got to WanHoNar where our evangelist Sai<br />

Yuet is work<strong>in</strong>g. There are only 6 Christian families <strong>in</strong> 100. We also had open-air crusade <strong>in</strong><br />

KanNaLone Church from 1-2 December. We visited Palong villages. Many Palong people are sick.<br />

They believed they were bitten by evil spirits. We lay hands on them and pray for them. In 1966 we<br />

have sent 6 evangelists to 6 new villages. Please send us support as soon as possible to Maesai or<br />

Rangoon. I’ll let you know later.<br />

In His Service, Sai Stephen<br />

Letter from Sai The<strong>in</strong> Aung Kham, NamKham, Northern <strong>Shan</strong> State to Sai Htwe Maung, Hong Kong.<br />

16 February 1996.<br />

Saya Sai Htwe and family,<br />

May God bless you all. May this year be a blessed year. I hope you have received my letter. Our<br />

ShweLi Baptist Association decided to have Great Commission Institute Tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> November. We<br />

expect 40 people to attend. Please cont<strong>in</strong>ue give us <strong>in</strong>struction regard<strong>in</strong>g this tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g. If possible we<br />

want to have it <strong>in</strong> ShweLi. If not we will have it <strong>in</strong> LaShio. I have visited <strong>Shan</strong> Church <strong>in</strong> MuongMyit<br />

<strong>in</strong> January. One family has accepted the Lord. We have built a center <strong>in</strong> MuongMyit for students to live<br />

<strong>in</strong> and go to school. It costs about K 200,000. We now need about K 50,000. We expect we can open it<br />

<strong>in</strong> June. <strong>Shan</strong> people from many places com<strong>in</strong>g to the Lord now. But our ShweLi is still <strong>in</strong> the darkness.<br />

They do not accept the light <strong>of</strong> the Lord. We are plann<strong>in</strong>g to have a Church <strong>in</strong> LoiLom for Palong<br />

people. We are also go<strong>in</strong>g to have 40 days evangelistic tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g from 1 April to 13 May. Please pray for<br />

us.<br />

Co-worker <strong>in</strong> Christ, Sai The<strong>in</strong> Aung Kham<br />
