January 2012

Dear Danny and Terri, I have had a same request from Ify as you did on 31^st October 2011, via the Bideford and Shebbear Methodist Circuit (Devon) website, which I manage. Have you any means of knowing whether this is genuine and if it is whether it would be safe to send Bibles from England to this part of Nigeria? Having explored further on your website I discover a miracle did occur! (The following is a copy of the miracle she discovered on our web site)

Dear brother, God bless you sir. The Lord is good and there is joy unspeakable over here as we have received the 72 fine bibles you sent to us through pastor Bekinbo. Brother, we say thank you a billion times and may the Lord bless you to his glory. All the bibles have been distributed yesterday evening. Brother we all are happy and we thank you very much. God will bless your ministry. Amen! Ify Obi

Is it likely that Ify needs 72 more Bibles?  If so how would you suggest they are sourced?  Are they English language Bibles that are requested? I am pleased that my research led me to your Ministry website.  I will pray for you and bring it to the attention of others who may be interested. Yours in Christ, Maureen Ellis

MYANMAR

1st Jan 2012

    Sadly, because of lack of funds we have been unable to assist the work in Myanmar for some time, but we would urge you all to pray for this great work being carried out there by Rev. Martin Lalthangliana, GOSPEL OUTREACH MISSION; 

    Dear Friends and co-workers, I am sharing the ministries that I am doing during December and Christmas. God is amazingly blessed with my personal ministries as well as ministries of Gospel Outreach Mission around the country.
    Revival Crusade - On December 2, our invited chief guests from Mizoram, India for revival crusade speaker and soloist arrived Yangon to do revival crusade among the Chin and Mizo people. They were young, energetic and committed to the Lord's work. We start the crusade with Yangon Lutheran Church on Dec. 3rd and on Dec. 5 until Dec. 7 at Methodist English Church from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm. The average attendance is about 600 everyday. The people in Yangon are revived with the Holy Spirit and the ministry is very successful.
    On Dec. 8th, I went to Tahan with a team of 5 people including our speaker and soloist. The crusade was held at Tahan Presbyterian Church, starting from Dec. 9th until Dec. 13th. The crusade was done day and night on Saturday and Sunday and only at night on other 3 days. Every attendance at worship service is 1,500. The people are very blessed with the message as the speaker's message is focusing on Bible and encourage renewing lives and transformed with the Holy Spirit.
    Christmas at Hope Education Centre - A Christmas celebration was held at Hope Education Centre on Dec. 23rd afternoon with the students of HEC, their families and staff. Leaders from Yangon Lutheran Church went there to share the Christmas message. Our missionary teacher, Mr. Manna Ling chaired the service and the main message was preached by our evangelist Mr. Lalthanzaua. About 35 children, some members of their families, staffs of HEC and church leaders, altogether about 50 people enjoyed and celebrate Christmas. Since most of the children and their families were purely Buddhists, our message aimed to share only the love of God, meaning of Christmas and why Jesus was born. At the end of the service, many presents were given to outstanding students in school class, and also students with good discipline and regular attendance at HEC class. After the service, dinner was provided along with evangelism tracts and booklets.
    Christmas at Shwe Pyi Tar Mission Church - I thought I was never going to be able to celebrate Christmas at Shwe Pyi Tar Mission Church because of the health condition of our missionary, Mr. Min Lwin Oo's wife, Mrs. Khin War. But Mr. Min Lwin Oo still want to celebrate Christmas like old times as this is the best time to share Christmas message and gospel with the unbelievers and believers around where they live. Pastor Lalchuka, Evangelist Lalthanzaua and I went there to celebrate Christmas on Dec. 24th in the morning. The main message was given by Pastor Lalchuka; sharing the love of God for all the people around the world, send his one and only Son in this world to save sinners. About 50% of the worshipers were Buddhists and they especially came to hear the Christmas message and find out more about the meaning. After the service, tracts and booklets along with the lunch were provided to the people.
    Christmas in Yangon - Every year, a Christmas celebration was held on Dec. 24th night and the whole day on Dec. 25th and it is same with this year 2011. About 60 people including the children from Immanuel Children Home came to church. The Christmas message was shared by Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. Lal Sawi Thanga and songs, choir from ICH children, and Christmas gift exchange program were done during the service in the afternoon. After the service, we sing songs together and have fellowship and have dinner together. It was very happy Christmas.
    We've distributed evangelism books, booklets and tracts on every service. A lot of distributors from Bago, Yangon, Sagaing, Shan and Kachin State requested literature for Christmas and we've distributed thousands of booklets and tracts and share the gospel among the unbelievers. It was indeed joyful. We covet your prayers, financial support for children home and missionaries, and funds for continuation of printing Christian literature. We cannot go on without your help.

    This news will be the last news around Gospel Outreach Mission that I can share in the year 2011. Hope you will enjoy!
In Christ, Rev. Martin Lalthangliana, Gospel Outreach Mission, 247 Bogyoke Street, Yangon 11182, Myanmar
