Dear Bethelites,
Greetings in the most blessed name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I trust this write-up finds you all well in the Lord, as we keep praying for you. By God’s grace and through your prayers, we, the brethren at First and Ngalti BPCs, Myanmar, are doing well. Today, we are very thankful to give you a short account of how the Lord has led us recently into another phase of His glorious ministry, namely, the ordination of Jeffrey Tial Hre Mang, in conjunction with Ngalti BPC Camp, 7-14 April 2024. At the same time, our sincere thanks to Rev Paul for allocating space for this report.
NGALTI BPC CAMP 2024
The mission team, comprising Rev Lal Lian Uk, Pr Van Bawi Hu and Rev Biak Lawm Thang, left Yangon for Ngalti on the 1st of April (Monday) to be back on 22nd April (Monday). The purpose of the trip was twofold: to speak at Ngalti BPC Camp and to ordain Pr Jeffrey Tial Hre Mang as Minister of the Word. God was so good to us throughout our trip, granting us journey mercies to and from Ngalti, despite travelling challenges amid civil unrest in the country (Ps 121). Arriving at Kalemyo (half way to Ngalti) in the evening of the same day we left, we stayed there for one night, as we needed to wait for the public transport to take us to Falam, a small town located in-between Kalemyo and Ngalti. It is the nearest town to Ngalti (about 30 miles from Ngalti), from which, villagers nearby, including our brethren at Ngalti, usually buy their daily necessities. From Falam we had to wait for the brethren to come and fetch us, while making preparations, such as purchasing those things necessary (relief aids) for Ngalti BPC. We finally arrived in Ngalti on the 6 th of April (Saturday), safe and sound, by God’s grace. All praise to God for His protection.
From the same Saturday night (6th April) that we arrived at Ngalti, we started to have nightly worship service together with the brethren there until the next Lord's Day night (14th April), nine nights in total. The church camp started from Monday (8th April) to the next Lord's Day (14th April). While worshipping together every night with much joy and happiness, children presenting Bible recitations and praise items before the messages every night, day time was spent studying God's Word under the camp theme, "God's Design for the Family." Rev Lian Uk and Rev Biak took turns to minister the Word to the adults, while Pr Bawi Hu and brother Ngun Lian Zir (a former student of our Bible College) taught the children. The whole week was a week of feeding on spiritual food, of fellowship with and learning from one another, a very sweet and blessed week indeed. We all experienced God’s goodness in a very practical manner, granting us such valuable opportunities amid troubled time, guiding us every step, protecting us from all harm and danger, and blessing us with many blessings both spiritual and physical. “O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him” (Ps 34:8). “O give thanks unto the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever” (Ps 136:1).
ORDINATION OF JEFFREY TIAL HRE MANG
The Lord's Day, 14th April, was a big day, a day of worship, praise and thanksgiving. It was a day on which we had a very blessed opportunity of ordaining Pr Tial Hre Mang as Minister of the Word, baptizing 6 infants, and administering the Lord's Table. By God's grace and through your prayers, every plan went smoothly, all to the praise and glory of God. All of us were very thankful to the Lord for His goodness and faithfulness upon us.
Rev Tial Hre Mang sensed the Lord’s call to ministry in 2010. He then went through theological training in Bible Colleges in Myanmar and India. After that, he underwent special training under First BPC for two years. Then he served as Preacher at Ngalti BPC for five years on an interim basis. Having fulfilled “all righteousness” concerning the ordination, he was ordained as Minister of the Word, on the 14th of April, 2024. We praise and thank God that He in His grace added to us another faithful minister who will serve Him in a field where Pastor is most needed. Rev Mang was married in 2022, and he is blessed with one daughter. As he has just taken the great responsibility of pastoring God’s flock at Ngalti BPC, he, together with his family, need our constant prayer and encouragement.
DISTRIBUTION OF RELIEF AIDS
Another important aspect of our recent trip to Ngalti BPC is the administration of relief aids. Having brought relief funds from Yangon, which we had received from Bethel BPC, Melbourne, we made the purchase of materials at Falam. All the relief funds were transformed into materials – in the form of daily necessities, such as (1) rice, (2) salt, (3) sugar, (4) medicines, and others. Our brethren at Ngalti BPC have been suffering the effects of civil war for three years and their livelihood has been greatly affected. On the Lord's Day (7th April) after the worship service, the brethren gathered together at the village hall to receive their shares of relief aid. Rev Biak took the opportunity to read God's Word and explain to the brethren how the Lord graciously provided such amazing and timely help through the generous giving and instrumentality of Bethel BPC, and Rev Lian Uk offered a thanksgiving prayer. Then the relief aids were distributed to each family by the Session of Ngalti BPC. The brethren were very thankful and gave thanks to God for His wonderful provision in this time of need through Bethel BPC (1 Cor 16:1-4; 2 Cor 8-9).
Indeed, we are very thankful to the Lord for His guidance and protection, and we want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your faithful prayers and constant support. May His name be honoured and praised for the great works He has done through and among us, and may we be moved with greater fervency to do greater works for Him. “For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.” (Rom 11:36). “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” (Eph 3:20-21).
With love in Christ,
Biak Lawm Thang
