David Servant takes you to the unreached mountain villages of Burma…

This month, I'd like to share with you a need of a dear friend who is laying his life down to train missionaries to reach hundreds of Burmese villages with the Good News. Burma (also known as Myanmar) is a mostly Buddhist nation in Southeast Asia whose 60,000+ villages are strewn across breathtaking mountain ranges, wide valleys, and fertile deltas. Many of the villages are only accessible on motorbike—or days of hiking on foot. When I've visited some of these villages, I have often been the first person with white skin they had ever seen!

Locked Up in Angola Hilton

So this is what it's like, I thought to myself. I was lying on the thin mattress of a metal-framed bunk. Concrete block walls surrounded me on 3 sides, and thick steel bars completed the enclosure of my 6-foot by 9-foot prison cell.

A Profit-Making Nonprofit

In April's e-teaching I shot a sacred cow about tithing to the local church. I pulled the trigger with fear and trepidation. My fears, however, proved to be baseless, as most of the feedback I received was very positive. We emailed that e-teaching to 9,000 subscribers. We also posted it on our website here, where about 4,500 people have since read it. 888 Facebook subscribers "liked" it and 529 of them "shared" it. That made it our most popular e-teaching ever.

Why Did You Become An Infidel?

Jafer told me of his own lifelong spiritual journey. At age 22, he was reading a Bible that had been given to him, comparing Jesus' teaching with what Mohamed taught in the Quran. Because Islam "ran through his veins" as he put it, he suffered great internal conflict, to the point that, one day, he tossed both the Bible and Quran and cried out to God, tearing his clothes and pulling his hair. Jafer told me, "I was beating on the refrigerator, the stove and on the walls and pointing my finger to God and crying out to Him: 'Where are You? How can I find You? How can I find the truth?'"

The Prize of Enterprise

He speaks excellent English, as well as his native Burmese and Chin. He has a PhD in Christian Ministry, and he teaches in several Bible schools. He also directs an orphanage that Heaven's Family's Orphan's Tear Ministry has supported since 2007. We've taught him about kinship and foster care's superiority over orphanage care, and he's embraced the concept, to the degree that some of the children who formerly lived at his Yangon orphanage are now back home. His orphanage's child population has decreased from 18 to 12 in recent years.

Separated Siblings

"I will not give up until I've found my sisters and my brother!" After months of fruitless searching, 13-year-old Isaias was determined not to quit. They were, originally, four siblings living under one roof, born to an alcoholic father among the indigenous people of Mexico's Sierra Madre: Isaias, the oldest, fraternal twin sisters Marisol and Matilde, and little brother Joel. When their mother died, their bedridden father parceled them out.
