FAITH MISSIONARY BAPTIST MISSIONS
YANGON , MYANMAR
MYANMAR MISSION WORKS 
I was born and brought up in a Christian family home. Yet I was not born again. But I got saved in 1986. After conversion, I received the call of God in 1992 while I was in Seminary , India . Since then I had a great burden for my people back in Myanmar who never had a chance of hearing the gospel fo salvation. In 1997 after completion of M.Div. I then went back to my country and stepped out by faith into the ministry in the same year in 1997 6 th May. That’s the reason we named this ministry as "Faith Missionary Baptist Missions". I was working in delta area as missionary. As God bless the ministry, the church was started at a very small village. Having burden, I traveled almost all over Magui division, Sagain division and Ayeyarwaddy division. After traveling, I realized the fact that there is a great need for making disciples (multiplying ourselves). Whenever I see the people, my heart moves. They are hopeless people. They are in need of someone to tell them about the gospel of Christ. But I had seen committed people working in the field without any support. We prayed and envisioned that we might be able to support them financially.

LITERATURE MINISTRY
In the year 2000, we started Literature (Magazine) ministry in Falam-Chin called "Theihnak" (Knowledge) which we publish bi-monthly about 12 thousand copies. We have many readers from within and abroad. In fact, people got saved through the reading of our magazine. We could not continue this ministry since the month of October 2003 due to lack of fund. Many people request us so much. We pray that we may be able to continue in the near future.
My eldest Bro. Timothy Sui Lian Mang founded Biblical School of Theology in 1996. As our people do not have good Bible, after having great burden, he fully committed to Bible translation KJV-TR into Falam Chin He has handed over the ministry of Bible School to my elder Bro. Bawi Cin Thang and me. We have over 80 students. Most of them are very poor. The Lord had given us bigger responsibility. Most of our graduated students are in the ministry in different parts of Myanmar . This is an English medium school. We see good product in this school. We pray that in the near future the Lord would raise more young people from our Bible school for the ministry of the Lord.
Trainning students picture
This training is designed for committed people who could not follow English. We are teaching in Burmese. We started this ministry in the year 2002. The Lord is really blessing this training. We are able to train at least 10 missionaries. Our desire and prayer is that, as we train, we must be able to support them financially. These trained missionaries are in fulltime ministry.
By faith, we started this new ministry in this year 2003, June 27. My wife has a heavy burden for orphan children. We are having 115 children right now. We are so excited to see life changing. Almost all of them are saved after coming to "Hope Children’s Home". We consider this one as missionary training. We pray that they may receive the call of God and involve in the ministry of the Lord. We have a great hope for them. $12 could support one child monthly. We are praying that the Lord may provide their daily needs and the need of house building for them. Please pray with for this new project.
The Lord burdened me long ago to have literature ministry especially in the area of Bible distribution to the new converts. And again except Bible, biblical books are not available in Burmese language for new converts to read. There are many false Christians, e.g.like Jehovah witness are so advanced in literature ministry. After much thought and prayer, together we finally started literature ministry called "Biblical Literature Ministry" . The main purpose is to distribute Bibles and publish some biblical books in Burmese. There are many new converts who do have any things to read. It breaks my hearts. I believe just preaching is not enough. Writing and distributing is also basically required in God's ministry. Pray that people will get saved through this new ministry. We need your involvement in this ministry. You could extend your hand for this ministry for Bibles.
The Lord gave a burden to my wife Junia to start pre-school. By faith, we just started on June 3, 04 . The main focus is to reach our neighborhood with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We have 10 children. 3 from Muslim and 7 from Buddhist family. My wife and three dedicated teachers teach them lessons every day and tell them about about Jesus Christ. This is a golden opportunity for us to reach them with the gospel of Jesus Christ. The place we are doing is near our residence. Our house rent will end up in April, 05. We need to continue to rent the house for one full year. The house rent cost $100 monthly. We are praying that the Lord may provide us on His time. Please do pray with us for this need and saving of children's souls.
These are the prayer items that you could pray for:
@ Pray for the urgent need of Church building in every mission field..
@ Pray for Bible College ’s building.
@ Pray for all the missionaries in Myanmar .
@ Pray for the need of Bicycles ( some of our missionries walk many miles) and Bibles.
@ Pray for the winning lost souls of Myanmar .
@ Pray for the spiritual growth of new converts.
Thank you for your prayers, offering and kind support. We pray that God will bless you abundantly as you work for the advancement of His kingdom. May God’s blessings be upon you as you seek His will for your life.
Yours in His Vineyard,
Paul H.Van Hre, FMBM
