Report of Love4Burma 2012
Thanks for supporting the
Love4Burma non-profit organization with your love and prayers.
It is an exciting year for
Burma. President Obama visited Burma marks a new era for Burma-US relationship.
A new political atmosphere had brought a new hope for the long suffering
country Burma. This is also our beloved country where we have longing for its
blessing from God. Especially in this holiday season we celebrate Jesus Christ
our savior who brought the way, the truth and the life for all the people
including Burma. We also thank Him who is the Creator of the Universe, who is
the one can alter the minds of the ruler, who is the one who guide the
direction of the History.
Supports
We continue to support the
Palaung village of Meihan at Lashio, Myanmar. Even though I have no opportunity
to visit there this year, but many people who went to Lashio this year had
brought us most current status from them.
My experience with Meihang
Hope Student Center:
I have visited that
student center twice. It is a program for Palaung kids to attend. The fee
collected is small bag of rice. The student lived in the student center with
Mother Language education. They also attend Burmese regular school as required
by the law to learn Burmese. Most are Pale Palaung. The wife of this center’s
president is a Pale Palaung used to work with Dr. Hermann of Chingmai. This
Center’s president Pastor Chen is from Grace Heaven Orphanage with seminary
training.
During this year I have
heard from Rev. Cha of Burma and Rev. Paul Lee of Partner Internationals about
the new status of this student center. They had received a Micro-loan from
Singapore last year to plant corns in order to support more students. The
project turned out quite successfully. They have good harvest this summer.
(With the current flooding happened in Lashio this winter we have no news yet.)
They have some needs for
us to pray. Their cars are old and out of permits soon due to their law
changes. They will need a car/truck soon. This request is still out of our
capability and also not within our focus. But, it can be in our prayers.
We also received a report in
June, 2012 from Pastor Chen in English. I have posted in the previous web site, but
replace the pictures with the pictures I took on 2008.
