Live Global is one of the mission organizations we support on a regular basis. In particular, we have contributed to a program that focuses on unreached people groups in Myanmar. Indigenous missionaries make inroads into these people groups by teaching a particular skill, such as motorcycle repair, barbering, or sewing, and then presenting the gospel within this context. These missionaries are reaching people who have never met a Christian, never heard the name of Jesus, and most likely have no Bible in their language. The sewing school that we support is particularly important because, in addition to providing opportunities for young women to hear the gospel, it provides training that helps them avoid the lure of human trafficking. It is encouraging to know that God is using our financial support to transform the lives of young women in Myanmar.
Since 2018, two hundred completely unreached villages have been visited by motorcycle teams with another 100 villages being reached by the summer of 2024. Nearly 1000 believers have been baptized (including some from the sewing school), and ten churches have been planted. In addition, audio gospel recordings are now available in eight languages for those who cannot read. Please continue to pray for safety and the ability for the missionaries to continue reaching unreached villages in spite of the hostilities in the country. We praise God for the work He is doing through Live Global in the country of Myanmar!
