MYANMAR VBS 2010 [Theme: “Come, Follow me! ” ]
“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men”. Mark 1:17
By Gods grace, we were able to parttake in this wonderful VBS ministry this year in myanmar. VBS has been conducted in five centers at the same time. The volunteer groups have been splitted up in five teams and sent to these five centers. God answered all of our prayers and commanded better co-ordination of all the complicated work. God answered the prayers and provided good weather in order that children can stay well in the centers.
About 125 teachers gathered for the two days VBS training (24th & 25th) at the Lutheran Hall at Yangon. All the vbs work has been demonstrated practically and all the teachers were well prepared. On 26th morning, the children started to arrive from different places for the 3 days camping of VBS programme. The programme started at the evening and ended on 29th afternoon. By the grace of God, all the centres has no issues with the accommodation for children.
At the last day of VBS, the salvation message has been shared in all the centers. And an altar call been given, most of the children cried and accepted Jesus and pledged to follow Jesus. Surely heaven rejoiced at that time.
Teachers and Children’s devotions have been taken by our team members in the morning. At the evenings, debrief session and prayer session were conducted with team members.
Please pray for the follow up work after this VBS ministry. All the children will be followed up in the respective community center workers in different areas.
As we knew, word of God has a power to change lives. This is the third trip to Myanmar and we could see the difference in the people lives since after the first visit. We believe this little children when they go back home, they bring the new life and the light what they received during VBS. Please pray for all their families be saved. “Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. (Isaiah 59:1)”
Glory be to God alone!

MYANMAR MINISTRY - MAY 2010
Malachi 3:3
Malachi 3:3 says: "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver." This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God.
One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study.
That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining Silver.
As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities.
The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: "He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver." She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined. The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed. The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, "How do you know when the silver is fully refined?"
He smiled at her and answered, "Oh, that's easy -- when I see my image in it." If today you are feeling the heat of the fire , remember that God has his eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you.
This very moment, someone needs to know that God is watching over them. And, whatever they're going through, they'll be a better person in the end.
