Appendix 321<br />

I am very grateful to Jean Harper for support<strong>in</strong>g my daughter f<strong>in</strong>ancially. I have received <strong>in</strong>vitation to<br />

attend Asian Outreach Conference <strong>in</strong> Hong Kong. But I am sorry for I cannot come. It is not easy to get<br />

passport to leave our country.<br />

Sai Kong<br />

A young evangelist Sai Kong, age 22, has driven out a demon from a man <strong>in</strong> front <strong>of</strong> many onlookers.<br />

After see<strong>in</strong>g demon-possessed man fall<strong>in</strong>g to the ground, vomit<strong>in</strong>g and convuls<strong>in</strong>g they all amazed and<br />

praised the Lord. All come to believe <strong>in</strong> Jesus.<br />

Rev. Ah Yai<br />

An old evangelist Rev. Ah Yai, age 68, prayed for a man who has a mass <strong>in</strong> his abdomen, which grows<br />

bigger and bigger day-by-day until he cannot sit up and dress his shirt or wear his trouser. His relatives<br />

have consulted doctors but given up hope. They have bought a c<strong>of</strong>f<strong>in</strong> and made all the preparation for<br />

his funeral. But when Rev. Ah Yai goes to his village, lives with him and prays for him everyday, his<br />

abdomen becomes smaller and smaller day-by-day. F<strong>in</strong>ally he can wear his shirt, put on his trouser and<br />

become normal person. He is go<strong>in</strong>g to be baptized very soon.<br />

Sai Phut<br />

A young man has epistaxis (bleed<strong>in</strong>g from the nose) s<strong>in</strong>ce early morn<strong>in</strong>g till even<strong>in</strong>g. There is no<br />

hospital, no doctor whatsoever. A man becomes pale and almost loss his consciousness. They call our<br />

evangelist Sai Phut, age 25, to help. He pray to God and takes a green leaves from nearby tree and put it<br />

<strong>in</strong>to his nose and pray aga<strong>in</strong>. After loud Amen he pulls out the leaves from his nose. No more bleed<strong>in</strong>g<br />

at all. From then on every one come to him for prayer whenever they are sick. They ask for prayer even<br />

for a m<strong>in</strong>or scratch on the sk<strong>in</strong>.<br />

Nang T<strong>in</strong> May Hla<br />

After graduat<strong>in</strong>g from GCI <strong>in</strong> TaungGyi I started to focus my work on Child Evangelism. As I have<br />

already resigned from nurs<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> hospital I have dedicated to serve the Lord full-time.<br />

I call non-Christian children to Sunday school every week. I now have not only children but also the<br />

parents com<strong>in</strong>g along. It is a very good method <strong>of</strong> reach<strong>in</strong>g both children and parents.<br />

Sai Pao<br />

After graduat<strong>in</strong>g from GCI <strong>in</strong> TaungGyi I came back home and started to travel to the villages around<br />

my town and show<strong>in</strong>g them the love <strong>of</strong> Christ by our work and preach<strong>in</strong>g the good news <strong>of</strong> salvation to<br />

them. Now I have many new comers <strong>in</strong> the Church. Travel<strong>in</strong>g cost is very high. Can you help me <strong>in</strong> my<br />

travel<strong>in</strong>g expenses?<br />

Sai Hkun Pao<br />

After graduat<strong>in</strong>g from GCI <strong>in</strong> TaungGyi, I wish that I could serve the Lord. But some leaders <strong>of</strong> my<br />

Church do not support me because I am not a Sem<strong>in</strong>ary graduate. It seems to me that unless I graduate<br />

from Theological Sem<strong>in</strong>ary I won’t be able to serve the Lord. I want to go to Sem<strong>in</strong>ary now. Can you<br />

sponsor me to Sem<strong>in</strong>ary school? (Sai Hkun Pao later went to Lisu Theological Sem<strong>in</strong>ary and f<strong>in</strong>ished<br />

his study <strong>in</strong> 1999)<br />

Rev. Maung Su<br />

I have retired from full-time m<strong>in</strong>istry ten years ago. I thought I have served the Lord enough. But after<br />

GCI tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> TaungGyi I have decided to serve the Lord until I die. I want to rededicate my life<br />

aga<strong>in</strong>.<br />

(After rededication Maung Su went back to LaShio and served as full-time pastor s<strong>in</strong>ce April 1996.)
