We do not hear any news from AOI whether they will help us or not. We hope them to join hands and
help us.
Conclusion
- Thank God for helping us what we needs for His mission.
- Thank AOI for helping us for many years in financial support and GCI training. We hope to
continue helping us in the future. We do need a training of GCI for equipping the evangelists to
serve the Lord in the mission fields.
- Thank SS Methodist Church, Malaysia for helping us in financial support for 1997 and
especially help us in the training for youth Leaders. We hope to come and help us in the
women’s training, which will be held in October also.
- Thank the Shan Churches and Shan believers who encourage us and help us in
good advices and financial support. They have great concern of the Shan mission as their
responsibilities.
- We do not be afraid and discouraged (Joshua 1:9) to serve the Lord. We all will totally
dedicate ourselves to serve the Lord with the strength that given to us.
- We need your help to pray for us .
In His Wonderful Service, Signed/ Rev. Sai Stephen Hsam
Revised Financial Support to 21st Century Shan Mission Project, Eastern Shan State, for 1997
proposed by Dr. Sai Htwe Maung
1. Rev. Sai Stephen’s salary
Rev. Sai Stephen is now receiving monthly salary Kyat 3,500 from Eastern Shan Baptist
Convention as he is working as a full-time secretary of ESBC. Before he becomes full time secretary of
ESBC he was a full-time Assistant Director of 21 st CSMP and was given monthly salary of Kyat 3,000.
Even though we have decided to increase his salary to Kyat 4,000 per month from 21 st CSMP, it is not
good for him to receive two salaries from two organizations that will amount to Kyat 7,500 per month.
No one in Burma has such big salary, even the minister of the country. I believe it is not good for any
one. That is why 21 st CSMP should not give him a full salary of Kyat 4,000 per month on top of his
salary from ESBC but we should give him a gift of Kyat 1,000 per month as an honorarium to his
service to our 21 st CSMP as he is receiving salary from ESBC.
