At a time when Myanmar is facing political, economic,
and educational decline, I
would like to thank you for
your monthly support of Zion
Children's Home.
Many children in Myanmar
are not educated. The reason
is that the civil war is getting
worse day by day. Among
them, six children who came
this year from Rakhine State,
Chin State, and Kachin State.
Their parents prayed for their
children to live and be educated.
The parents even told
me that even if they died, they
would be better off knowing
their children lived.
The parents had to sell all
their belongings to come to
me. They had to pay 30 million
baht per child. The journey
took about two weeks.
They went by boat, motorbike,
and car, and sometimes
they had to spend the night
in the jungle on the way. They
had to pay money to the local
authorities on the way. When they reached adulthood,
they were immediately
arrested. The reason was that
they were forced to become
soldiers.
The parents are still
living in war zones. We have
no contact. It has been years.
Thanks to God, we are able
to raise these children.
Now,
they are very happy to be able
to attend ACE School. I see
that the education is much
better than in government
schools, and it is a great blessing
to be able to learn about
God from the Bible in the
ACE curriculum.
I am also
teaching part-time at ACE
School. If God wills, I would
like to open my own ACE
School next year.
However, I cannot build my
own building yet, so it is difficult
to start the school. I want
to do this by teaching difficult
children in one place.
I thank God for giving me
the opportunity to closely
teach and build body, soul,
and spirit. Now, the children
are living together in the
school and teaching. Since I
can't find a house to rent in
Hmawbi, I'm renting a house
in Magladon, Htauk Kyat.
The
children go to school by bus
every day. It's a bit far for the
children.
If it's convenient, I would
like a light truck to take the
children to school and to go
to places they need.
We, Zion
Children's, continue to pray.
We, Zion Children's, pray
every morning and night for
the families, health, business,
and everything else for the
donors. May God bless the
donors and all those who
help.
