Mr. Htoo Lway (in red) and his four daughters with us at the proposed church property.
Daw Nin Jo was the very first Adventist in the small village of Hla (Hah-Lah) in Myanmar.
Even though her husband, Mr. Htoo Lway, was a Catholic, Daw Nin Jo humbly lived out her faith everyday. She loved her family and taught her six children about the true God, a personal God who cared about them and would soon come again.
Her dream was that a church could be built in her village, and that her husband and children would be members.
Daw Nin Jo had been battling cancer a few years and it was through meeting a medical missionary that she came to love and accept our faith.
Tragically, the cancer took Daw Nin Jo’s life before she could realize her dream.
On her death bed, she told her Catholic husband that if he wanted to see her again, he must go to heaven.
Mr. Htoo Lway began to study with the medical missionary shortly after her funeral and has become instrumental in helping to establishing a company of believers in Hla village.
On January 20, 2018, he was baptized along with seventeen other villagers from Hla.
What an awesome surprise it will be for Daw Nin Jo, If they are faithful, to be raised up with her family and neighbors when Jesus comes again.
Every Sabbath in the village of Hla, thirty plus people meet under a tree– or if it’s raining, under a house to worship the God of heaven.
Earlier this month… We had the privilege of meeting Mr, Htoo Lway and his daughters.
We visited the proposed church property with him and are excited to be a part of Daw Nin Jo’s dream.
Today we’d like to invite you to share in her dream as well.
Please help us build a church, like the one pictured below, in Hla village.
Only $6,000.00 will build a simple but highly functional church for this growing community of believers.
Every gift of any amount is appreciated and WILL make a difference.
Together we can MAKE HER DREAM A REALITY
