Project name: 21 st Century Shan Mission
Description of Project: The mission among the Shan people in Eastern Shan State was started by
American missionary William M. Young in 1901. Shan are culturally and traditionally deep rooted in
Buddhism and the progress of mission work among them was extremely slow. However the Shan
Baptist Association was organized in 1968 with 18 local Churches.
Due to the commitment, dedication and hard work of the Shan Church Leaders and by the
helping of Dr. Sai Htwe Maung and Asian Outreach International, there have been considerable Church
growth and planting of new Churches in the past few years, which led to the forming of the Shan
Baptist Conference, Eastern Shan State. Shan Baptist Convention is one of the newest racial
conventions with 52 Churches and 6,820 baptized members.
The main objective of this project for the year 1998 is to concentrate the mission works in the
target areas with the following goals.
1. To plant 20 new Churches.
2. To win 500 new believers.
