Aung San Suu Kyi’s
NLD (National League for Democracy) Party had opened a new era for Myanmar
(Former Burma). Even though many conflicts still remain such as the fightings
of Northeast border Minority Tribes with Burmese army, such as Rohingya Muslims
genocide issues etc., a more democratic direction and open atmosphere is
expected to come into realization. This cannot be foreseen before. I am
confident that the Kingdom of earth is in God’s hand indeed. And, the time is
up, God is taking actions now.
One film, “The road
to Mandalay” 再見瓦城, first shown in Myanmar’s theater in early November. This kind of
movies was banned for 50 years for censorship. Suddenly, it is allowed to show
beyond people’s expectation. The director, Midi Z, is a Taiwanese director who
is also a Burmese Chinese from Lashio city of Burma. I had a chance to visit
Lashio several times since 1995. The first time I was there with a team to do a
short term mission for their Chinese school. The saddest things we encounter
are leaving nothings for their young boys. As Midi tried to demonstrate (from
his interviews) is the life that he had familiar with, the life that only
“survive” dominates their steps and decisions. One of our sisters hold one boy
leaving with tears because we know that their destiny is either a Jade digger, a
drug dealer or smuggle to Thailand for a better future. Director Midi films
other movies, “Ice Poison” and “Return to Burma” in 2014, in which he secretly
took a movie out of real Burma about their lives.
These boys now
walk into their different lives. Director Midi luckily came to Taiwan and
thrived his way out. Most are still struggling. But, they are not the worst. I
met a Palaung family in a rare Palaung Sunday service. The man of the family
did a testimony about how he flee to Thailand, how he got beaten by Thailand
Police, how he got into Thailand’s jail, and how he came back with empty hands.
But, he shows the joy of having Jesus with him to conquer all the difficulties
really touches me. He is one of so few Palaung Christians in that mountain area.
Palaung/DeAng are much inferior economically than Lashio boys. I wish one day
Director Midi can film a Palaung’s life to show how can a tribe be humiliated
so much and still live there generations
by generations.
Our
organization is just a mind-set to show that YOU are the pearls in God’s eyes.
Even though
Love4Burma are weak in many aspects, I am still in favor of the unreached
Palaung ministry. We are praying that
the sons of God in Jesus can show their faith by their lives and worldview. As
long as the gospel can be spread among the unreached, I think we are in the
right direction. May God and the Spirit help us with wisdom to be a vessel for
the Lord!
