Shwe Shwe Oo got skin decease on the whole body when
she was a small child. She suffered the pain badly for a long time. Her parents
were unlearned and could not afford to care for her. When Roger came in 2007, he
had a great compassion on her and he let Elisha to take care in Bryce Home 3
(Sowing Circle house).
At that time she was 14 years old. She did not know how to read and write. From
that time on Christina began to give a good care on her. She gave bath twice a
day with medicine and applied cream after bathing. And taught how to read and
write. And after years ago she can read the Bible as other can read and write as
well.
In 2012, she returned back again to her parents and counted her family as Bryce
Home 6. Now, she becomes a Sunday school teacher. She always thanks the Lord and
serve as much as she can.
This is a marvellous work of God in her live through UTT. As she has seen the
great compassion of God in her life, she also wants to be a blessing to others
in the way she can and to be faithful to God.

This ministry is ordained by God for the poor children whose parents cannot take
responsibility to protect them from the destruction of alcohol and drugs and
train them to be good disciples of our Lord. SK Lian and his wife are so strong
because they have a clear conviction to continue this ministry regardless of the

Bryce Home 15
Judah and wife have two children and another 5, they
all are 9 members in their family. The flood with sand destroyed their house of
2 years back at Laos boarder. And the house is no more available in rainy
season. So, last year, the new land was bought up on the mountain side of
Chailat town with the relief funds but the building is not yet built. It is not
so far from Government High School. His uncle who wanted to help him is
seriously sick and admitted in the hospital for a long time. He spent all that
he had for his medicine and could not help any more for the building.
The village is 8KM from Chailat town. There are around 60 houses in this
village. Educationally and spiritually, they are really in need of help. They
have only one person who has passed High School from the whole village till
today. The children and youth are unlearned and destroyed by drugs and alcohol.
Judah's commitment is to protect the children from their wicked ways and educate
them and train them to follow Christ. He still leads prayer meeting every night
at the village.
Even though Judah needs things a lot to work out his vision, he is still very
strong in his faith. He works very hard to be able to start this year but all
that he could do for the project is digging the foundation and building the
bamboo house beside the foundation. The bamboo house is still empty. I
appreciate very much his zeal with all his end.
Please pray for this. If you are in the situation to be able to help this
project, I believe it will be very much precious in His sight and useful to
train up those children in God's way.
Bryce Home 16
Solomon and Elizabeth have 3 children. They have an
outreach church. Bryce Home financial support is useful for their family living
and for their outreach ministry. Please continue to uphold them in your prayer.
If you want to serve the Lord as we see in James 1:27 'Pure religion and
undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows
in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.' you can
continue to partner with us financially and by prayers.
May the Grace of our Lord be with you abundantly.
In Christ,
Elisha
