Victory in the mist of the battle.

[paul]

I just received this report from our director in Burma.

Dear Pastor Paul & Nancy,

Greetings once again in the sweetest name of our Lord!

I just came back from up north area and I actually was there in that area for several months teaching and ministering to the people.
We were unable to open our school last year in Yangon due to unstable situation. And I did inform you about it but still am not sure whether
you received those mails. The work in up north area is still going on well and we have school there. I will be going back to up north area next week to teach. I will send you report with photos.

Actully, it is not at all safe to use Internet here in Myanmar. Our data have been stolen and checked our mails. They used info stealing
device in Internet cafe where people use Internet. That could be the one of the reasons why my previous mails did not get through.
Actually it's very difficult to communicate through Internet these days ( I mean from Myanmar). Anyway, I hope that this mail reaches you there.

By God's Grace, we were able to build school building in up north area and the ministry is going on well. We have 12 students and they are about to complete 3rd trimester. I will give you detail info when I get to China. As you know I have to travel to that area via China. Hope that you understand the reason why I cannot send you those info from M.
I am so glad to inform you that our graduates are doing so well in the ministry. One of them have reached to people in the remote area and they have given their lives to Jesus. They were animists but the whole village has come to the Lord, PTL.
I will reach you again. God Bless!

Psalm 2

1Why are the nations in an uproar
And the peoples devising a vain thing?
2The kings of the earth take their stand
And the rulers take counsel together
Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,
3"Let us tear their fetters apart
And cast away their cords from us!"
4He who sits in the heavens laughs,
The Lord scoffs at them.
5Then He will speak to them in His anger
And terrify them in His fury, saying,
6"But as for Me, I have installed My King
Upon Zion, My holy mountain."
7"I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD:
He said to Me, 'You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
8'Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance,
And the very ends of the earth as Your possession.
9'You shall break them with a rod of iron,
You shall shatter them like earthenware.'"
10Now therefore, O kings, show discernment;
Take warning, O judges of the earth.
11Worship the LORD with reverence
And rejoice with trembling.
12Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way,
For His wrath may soon be kindled
How blessed are all who take refuge in Him

I read that and thought "who's got the last laugh?" and thought of this Psalm. God does. He knows who are His, and He takes them and keeps them. I'm glad your friend from Burma is sacrificing his life for all of these people, who are also putting their necks on the line for lining up to take a sweet picture like those.

Unreal. These are the real men of today. Humbled.

Indeed.

Paul, my heart is warmed and I am overwhelmed at this sacrifice.

Please know that your work is forever in our prayers.

Talk to you soon.

[paul]

Thank each of you for your comments and above all for the prayers for these incrediable men and women of God.

Many times I am addressed as a Missionary. But when I stand next to these men and women, I realize quickly who the real missionaries are. I thank God that he has allowed me to be a part of their lives, and to be of some help in a small way as a facilitator and a funnel to channel tools and finances to help them reach their nations and fellow countrymen for Christ.
These men and women are truly my hero's

[Dr. Ron]

And you sir, are a true leader and influencer of men. Shame what was lost to others.
