Since we last wrote, we have visited churches in Kentucky, Montana, Indiana, Oklahoma, Texas, and Michigan. We are still trying to raise funds to build three churches and the Bible college in Burma. The total need is $30,000. We have also added two more Burmese national pastors and a group of orphans for support.
Here is some exciting news from some of our church planters:
The unbelievers that I preached to the Gospel were 12 people, and 7 people of them believed Christ and were saved. Some church members are sick. The patients that I visited and prayed for were 18 people. The new believers that I had fellowshipped with were 25 people. The believers who fasted and prayed together with me were 19 people. Those who worshiped in the whole month were 489 people. On average, there were about 97 people a week.

Since January 2013, I have started giving Bible study at my house. Within 16 months all in all attendance was 165 young people. As I teach and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ every week thirty of them have put their faith in Jesus Christ. Last March 2014, 11 young newly believers followed the Lord in water baptism.
May 2014/Pastor Joel Myint Aung , Okkan City, Myanmar
We are working on plans for a five-to-six-week visit to the Philippines in December and January. Kay and Brianna will be going with me after being away for 2½ years. We will be visiting many churches and pastors whom we have helped through the years and introducing the new TEACHING ALL NATIONS curriculum, which FBMI has developed. This will allow many churches to have their own Bible college or institute. This trip will be expensive, and we’ll need some help with airfare ($4,500) and literature ($1,000). Please pray that God will meet this great need. Please continue to pray for Asian World Baptist Ministries.
