Gary and Steve came to visit Myanmar in May, 2010. Brother Richard brought them to my apartment and to visit some places in Yangon.
Unfortunately, I was unable to go with them because I had let my new disciples gather their unbeliever friends on that day, so that I could preach the good news to them. I ask Gary and Steve if they could join with me at the gathering, but they said their train to Mandalay was supposed to go soon. They did not have enough time to join us this time because to get to our gathering place takes about 1 hour. They said to me that they would join us when they came back to Yangon. I replied "Yes! Sure, it will be great!" And Gary asked me a question again just before they left me " What will be the best do you think to teach or what kind of teaching topic do you want me to teach that will help pastors in Myanmar?" I answered, "If you can teach us about leadership that will be the best, I think we need leadership skills in our ministries". He replied me "Yes. I will like to do that. I used to teach that subject also in Canada at other churches."
I praised God that Gary and Steve were able to come again and give us leadership training.
Some Scripture verses that I remembered from Gary's teaching were John 1: 35 - 42 .......... Andrew brought his brother Peter to Christ. Through Peter a big change and transformation happen in their generation. Who is your peter? It is very important that you bring your peter to Christ that will make a great transformation for your society.
2 Timothy 2:2 " And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others." The reliable man for Paul is Timothy.
Paul entrusted tasks to the reliable Timothy who is able to teach others among many others. We also must choose our Timothy (faithful man) who are qualified to teach others from our new disciples. Who is your Timothy? or who will be your Timothy....You need to find that reliable person carefully.
About 47 leaders are very happy and glad for openning their spiritual eye to see how to multiply churches by bringing our Mr. Peter and finding the best Mr. Timothy to entrust with leadership tasks. So that the church of Christ will grow, multiply and spread the good news further in an effective way.
A woman also gave her testimony in the Sunday Worship Service just after Gary and Steve left. She was very thankful to God for the teaching and testimony given by Gary and Steve. She felt uncomfortable to join the teaching that day, therefore she had decided not to go and join the training. The leadership training was held the next day. Even though she heard about the leadership training from My Father John, she was not informed who would give the training. When she slept at night, God spoke to her in a dream or vision, saying that my men will come and teach about my Words, so you will have to go and listen from them tomorrow. It is important teaching. What amazing event for everybody!!!
I believe those who practice this teaching from the Word of God not from human theory, will surely build the kingdom of God in many people's hearts and lives. And our reward is securely store in Heaven by God.
Praise God! And thanks to Gary and Steve and those who are involved in sending them to Myanmar. God will some day multiply the seed that you have sown and make it grow and function well for many lives in Myanmar. It is my great privilege to get to know them and translate their amazing testimony and teaching of the Word. That took root in my heart. I pray that God will make it grow and be fruitful for His own glory and Kingdom.
Finally, Gary said some very strong last words that touched my heart and soul just before they entered the immigration of Myanmar. "May God Be With You"! I really felt like the apostle Paul giving the last greeting to his disciples who were going from place to place when he had decided to go to Rome during his last journey. I wanted to spend more time and days but it was impossible. My heart was burning with tears and encouraging myself that We will surely meet again together in Heaven with great joy in Christ Jesus, our Savior. On that day, there will be no separation anymore; our joy will become perfect.
God is great and He is an awesome God, I am now in Canada with Gary and Steve and their disciples. This is a huge miracle for me. Even the person who walked next to me did not hear, nor know what was happening in my heart when we went back home from the airport. But praise the LORD! God is hearing and knowing about that.
Brothers and Sisters in Christ, God knows what we are thinking. He can number all the hairs on our head. Even one of them is not falling down to the ground without His permission. But God loves the pure heart. He wants to bless his children much more than human parents do with their children. But the problem is we are not in the right position to be blessed.
If the Lord, God is not present, even possessing billions of billions of dollars are not worth any value at all. When God is present, the wilderness can become as joyful place as it is in Heaven in our life! Dear Jesus, my Savior and Lord, thank you so much for letting me know that you are much closer to me than the breath that I breathe. You are my all in all and an awesome God! The only risen King. Lord of lords, King of kings, the creator of the universe. Amen.
With rejoicing in the LORD!,
