Myanmar Church trains missionaries

With the aim of proclaiming the gospel in hard-reached fields of Myanmar, the Seventh-day Adventist Church has been conducting a training under the 1000 Missionary Movement, January 11 to February 12, at the headquarters of the Adventist Church in Myanmar (MYUM) in Yangon.

Twenty pioneers from four administrative fields and the Yangon Attached District participate in the training.

Pastor Muller Kyaw, MYUM president, addressed the trainees emphasizing the value of every man and woman and as such the importance of reaching them with the good news of salvation to God’s kingdom.

Pastor Shine Tha, who coordinates the training with the help of department directors of the church, said that the subjects being offered cover “music, church planting, stewardship, health for the community, and a few others.”

These courses are overwhelmingly received by the participants. “I am so glad for the opportunity to become a pioneer missionary. I will do my best to help the church win people for the Lord and I am pledging a lifetime service for this,” said Myo Aung, one of the participants from Yangon Attached District. “We will the same,” said the other participants.
