Located very near to the borders of two Creative Access Nations is a center to serve as a ministry base for reaching out to Akha people living in Myanmar, China, and Laos.
One of the high ranking officials invited us to share the gospel in his village. 19 people received baptism during the occasion, and another 21 believed in different villages in March. It is so encouraging that many people believed in the Lord Jesus Christ! Another Akha village turned to Christ with ten families believing. There are only six villages left in that large region that have no Christian families.
•Pray that the Gospel seed will sprout out soon in these remaining six villages.
Leadership training programs have been going on smoothly. The location is changed from time to time so that members in different villages can benefit from the teaching.There are positive signs of God at work among the Akha in Laos and China. The Lord is calling some individuals to join the Akha/Hani team. Pray!
