When we heard the Holy Spirit say to us He wants us to go to Myanmar, we did not know anything about the country. Only where it was on the map. Then, a few weeks before we left, we found out about the civil war that has been going on for decades, but has exploded the most in February 2021. Surprisingly, that information did not create any fear or doubt in us – we knew this was where God wanted us, so we were not worried. <\/p>\n\n

Upon arrival, we were welcomed with such kindness and anticipation of what the Lord would do through us in Myanmar. Everywhere we went, people kept exceeding our expectations in their generosity. The time they set apart to be with us, the home-cooked food they prepared, and resources they spent to take care of us \u2013 all evidence of their deep appreciation of our coming to their country. <\/p>\n\n

Nowadays, it is seldom the locals receive foreign guests. Ever since the political situation got dangerous in the northern part of the country, most international relations were cut off with Myanmar. Tourism started shutting down and the local people massively emigrated from the country to remain safe and protect their future. We lost count of how many locals asked us in deep wonder \u201cWhy would you come to Myanmar?\u201d. And in one of the conversations that started with that very question, a lady came to this realization: \u201cHow God must love Myanmar that He sent you here\u201d. <\/p>\n\n

Wherever we were invited to serve, we saw such openness and humble hearts. Regardless of our young age, people were so hungry to hear us share testimonies and preach. Their thankfulness for our coming to Myanmar was so clearly seen. One time, we had the chance to preach the Gospel from the stage to a group of around 25 Buddhist women. We had time to take them through the message of the Gospel all the way from Genesis, through the Old Testament Law, to the life of Jesus and the Cross. And at the end of the service, we asked \u201cIs there anyone who would like to receive prayer?\u201d. All women came to the front! We also asked specifically who needs healing in their body. Half of the women raised their hands, so we prayed a simple prayer. After all the women said \u201cAmen\u201d, we asked, \u201cIs there anyone here who didn\u2019t receive healing?\u201d. No one said anything. Instead, they each started to share how pain in their body was gone or symptoms of disease disappeared. We left in awe of how God uses imperfect vessels for His glory. <\/p>\n\n
