Bible Students
For the leadership promotion program, there will be six students attending the Bible College in
this year. The expense for one student will be 300 US$. The Shan Baptist Conference will take the
portion of 100 US$. So I earnestly request to AOI to help us 1,200 US$ for six students. I will send
each of their autobiography to you later. The Bible College will open in June.
Student’s Hostel
As I have discussed with pastor Ong and Jean, we request to AOI to help us for the student’s
hostel in MuongYawng. Being so many new converts from the mission fields now we established a
student’s hostel for their children in MuongYawng. We hope they will become leaders in their own
villages in the future. Since our Evangelists cannot live in the village for their whole lives we need
native young people to become their own leaders. The school will open in June. I will send the detail
project to you later.

Thanks
Thank God for His guidance and loving-kindness. Thank AOI for all of your prayer for us and
help us in financial support. Thank all of our faithful Evangelists who dedicated themselves totally to
God and serving the Lord in the mission fields.
We need your prayer
Pray for all of the Evangelists to stand firm in the Lord’s work, to obtain physical as well as
spiritual strength. Sometime they face difficulties in encounter with the area authorities. Being
uneducated people they dare not to face with the authorities when the Buddhist to convert and become
Christian. Because the area authorities are Buddhist and they dislike the Buddhist to become Christian.
