Report of Love4Burma （2015）
Year of 2015 is a
year of a new beginning for Myanmar (formally named Burma). The November election
of Myanmar finally was over after one week delayed. The NLD (National League
for Democracy led by Aung San Suu Kyi) won 887 seats, or 77.1%, providing Suu
Kyi with a majority in both houses of parliament. The military-aligned USDP (Union
Solidarity and Development Party) won only 117 or 10% of the seats and the army
reserves a quarter of all seats in parliament.
We, as a loving entity
of Myanmar, are glad to see that this new beginning might bring a new
prosperity and democracy for this long suffering country. Love4Burma also sees
that not only a new justice can brings more equality among all the tribes, but the
Gospel can be known to the unreached among the mountains. God is in control and
will fulfill His Promises through His Chosen people.
One last news from
Myanmar Times is the recount of Shan State Ta’Arng (Palaung) region resulted
one seat was taken away from the ruling party (USDP) and turned to Ta’Arng
(Palaung) National Party. Originally, Votes
from six villages in Namhsan township were left out of the count, according to
the state election commission. My opinion is: Namhsan are Palaung regions with
mountains. The left-out may have caused by ignorance or unreached. But, it is
corrected after the appeal.
I read a book of
1924 by a British Woman Mrs. Lslie Milne, named: The Home Of an Eastern Clan –
A Study of the Palaungs of the Shan States. In the book she described the Palaungs
among Namhsan areas in details. Almost 100 years later today, it is still unreached. I think they are Gold
Palaung where I have never met any of them. I also heard that they may have
some groups working on their scripts but definitely they are not attentive as
Pale or Rumai Palaung by Scripture Translators yet.
Ta’Arng (Palaung)
National Party finally got 12 seats total. It is a encourage news. The reason I
said so is that Palaung are socially and economically inferior peoples among
all the tribes of Burma.
Even though we are
weak in financially, I am still in favor of working with the unreached Palaung
ministry. May 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!

We pray that God’s

“Because our good news came to you, not in word only, but in

as you saw what our behavior to you was like from our love to you.” (1
