Bryce homes Myanmar were previously called
Bryce Lodge In Myanmar the children are individually sponsored.
The Bryce homes in Kenya, South Africa and the Philippines accept
donations for the home rather than the individual child,. Most of the children
have been sponsored, In Myanmar, but there are a few that still need to be sponsored.
The are also leadership and rental costs for theses homes.
We thank all those who have sponsored
children and helped with the other expenses. Your dollars are making an
eternal difference in these children's lives, probably more than you
know!.
During our visit
to Yangon, Myanmar in February of 2012, we were able to gather Bryce
Lodges 1, 2, 3, and 5 together in one place for a time of fellowship
and worship. The children sang a number of hymns and choruses that
we were able to record on video.
We have edited
together some of these songs and posted them to our YouTube Channel.
If you take the time to listen to this short video, you will be able
to experience the great blessing we experienced as we listened to
and watched the children.
Thank you for your prayer support. All Grade-11 students did well in
their
final exam. From tomorrow, we will begin our 8 days trip to Delta
area. We will divide into two groups. Our children and Discipleship
students are very excited to get involved in this ministry.
Please pray that many lost souls might be saved for His glory.
Please also pray that the team members might be challenged with this
practical involvement as our investment is the lives of the children
and Discipleship students.
We will bring some second hands clothes and 2000
Gospel tracts forndistribution. As God has opened the way to reach Buddhist villages,
we
take it as a privilege and will use all the offering and tithes that
we
have in our hand.
In Christ,

Our time in Yangon has
gone by very quickly. Each day Tom and I have spoken morning and early
afternoon at the “Making Disciples Conference.” The conference was
attended by all of our Bryce Lodge leaders, the Discipleship School of
Ministry students and a number of men who came to Yangon to the
conference from distant areas.
We have visited all of
the Bryce Lodges here in Yangon and spent time with Andrew, leader of
Bryce Lodge Four who is located in a remote area of Myanmar. As this is
the 7th year that Understand The Times has been involved in
ministry in the country of Myanmar, we have seen many changes and
abundant fruit. To see the children growing up into young adults has
been a blessing. They will soon be ready to take the next step to go
beyond grade eleven and make choices with regards to what they will do
the rest of their lives.
This March five
students in Bryce Lodges One to Three will write their final high school
exams. This will determine the next phase of their lives. We are
presently praying about what our responsibility will be from this point
on. Some would like to go to Bible School and become pastors and
missionaries. One would like to go to medical school and become a
medical doctor.
When I return from
Myanmar we will post updated photos of all the children individually on
our web site under Missions Myanmar. We made all of the children aware
that God has given them the care they have received because of the love
and generosity of their sponsors that come from all over the world.
Understand The Times is only the channel through which God is working to
enable the Bryce Lodge Program.
The School of
Discipleship is approaching the end of its first year. Seven men have
been taught and encouraged to reach out to the surrounding area to share
the gospel message. Two of them plan to immediately serve the Lord by
planting a church. We are also considering supporting 8 new
missionaries from various parts of Myanmar who attended the conference.
The challenge ahead for
us in Myanmar is very great. It appears there is strong possibility
that inflation will change the way we can do ministry here. We are
grateful to those who have caught our vision and we will continue to do
all we can do and be good stewards of the resources that have been put
in our hands. I thank God for Tom Worthington who has been a great
encouragement to me in coming along side to help with administrative
skills and his help giving spiritual guidance.
Please keep Mission
Myanmar in your prayers. When I return I will try to put together some
video presentations that will show you what God is doing here in this
very dark country.
Greetings brothers,
Let me give you our trip report first. Thank you for your prayers. We
reached 11 villages with the Gospel. Out of these 11, there is no single
Christian at all in 7 villages where as few Christian are in 4
villages.
The following are how we spent time in these 10 days trip. We started
sharing the Gospel from the Ship. After that Village to Village and
house to house, we sang Gospel songs, shared the Gospel and prayed for
the families. We also have privileges of church worship services in 3
villages and distributed more than 3000 tracts,. By His grace, we shared
the Gospel to different kinds of people. Some are head of the villages,
some are strong Buddhists and some are young people who led us to have
house to house visitation. Wherever we go, the Lord prepared people to
receive us to their house. The way God has led us and how He works to
the unbelievers are beyond our thoughts. We experienced that the Lord
have drawn people's attention to the Gospel of Christ. What we need is
to keep in touch these people with the pure Word of God. So, we cry out
to God and you to work with us in prayer and also in the way you can.
God needs His people in Myanmar. Thanking God for all that He has done
through your support.
Your brother in Him,
Dear Roger,
Good to know your mission
trip to Africa. As for us, by His grace, as we have committed to
obey to the Great commission of our Lord, we continue reaching
people with the Gospel by taking it as our privilege.
It is my pleasure to report
you how we have movement in Yangon. Saturday morning is set
aside for prayer, afternoon both some of Bl3 children and Making
Disciple students and teachers have hospital evangelism. Last

the sick people and keepers. We praise God for such a privilege.
Sunday morning, we have
Sunday school at 4 places. Noon time we have church worship
service and afternoon, we have home cell service at least 3
places on every Sunday. Mostly, we go according to the house
owner’s invitation.

At the same time at Bryce
Lodge 3, our children are all doing well. They have regular
schooling day time. At night before they study their lessons, we
have night prayer meeting. They have memorized many Bible
verses. We read one chapter every night. Shwe Shwe has
memorized and can recite Ps.119:1-80. Saturday night is set
aside for the children’s preaching the word of God. Good to tell
you that some of them become good preachers. They tell the
Gospel even to their Buddhist class mate. They also can proof
very well of Creation to their friends.
n this coming December we are planning to
have a mission trip to Dalta areas. And we also
plan together Buddhists people and have Salvation Camp. We try
to fill up as much as we can in sharing the Gospel. Please pray
that lost souls might be saved and that we might be strong only
in Him.
