Brand New Training Center in Myanmar!
Earlier this month, I had the exciting opportunity to do training at TMAI's newest training center in Myanmar, known as the Expository Preaching and Teaching Academy or EPTA (you can learn more about EPTA here).
I spent the week teaching the book of Ephesians, including how to preach through the epistle. In addition, I was able to preach at Grace Bible Church of Yangon led by Pastor Philip who is also a student at EPTA.
You can hear directly from Pastor Philip, as well as Pastor Silas, dean of EPTA. Please keep these faithful brothers in prayer.
Prayer Requests
I am getting ready for a trip to South Asia from Dec 2-16 and would highly covet your prayers. In addition to continuing training of over 30 pastors in expository preaching, this trip will also include several Christmas outreaches where hundreds Muslims will be invited to attend.
A banquet will be held and Bibles will be given as gifts. I will have the opportunity to present the gospel and answer questions for those attending. I will also be speaking to many believers from villages where churches and Christian homes were recently attacked and burned down. Please, please be in prayer for this trip.
Please pray for my health and safety as I will be traveling to more sensitive areas of the country and presenting the gospel more openly.
Also pray for the preparation and financial provision for these outreaches which require renting a facility since they cannot be held in churches.
Please continue to pray for the persecuted believers there, particularly those that lost their churches and homes. Pray I could be an encouragement to them.
Pray for the 32 pastors attending the preaching program – pray that they would understand the material and continue to grow in their ability to rightly interpret and preach the word of God.
Please also pray for the several churches I will be preaching at on Sundays and during the week.
