A Sound Is Rising From Myanmar 🔊

To Know God...and Make Him Known

"Together we can do more..."

Aloha This is the third email in a series of four emails being sent out every other day. Click on the link HERE to read the first email and access the second email as well! Today's story comes from the beautiful country of Myanmar. This country is near and dear to my heart. I have traveled their numerous times, seen tons of salvations, freedom from drug dealing/addiction, and hand delivered newly translated Bibles to unengaged people groups with my family.It's in this context of evangelism that I met my dear friend "Tuang." In a time of prayer, he felt from the Lord to help translate for the YWAM teams coming for a huge evangelism campaign across the country. Specifically, in that time of prayer, he felt the Lord say, "I have someone for you to meet. He is important to your future." He responded in obedience and soon after he was translating for me and the team I was with. One evening, I was co-leading worship with my Burmese counterparts. During that time of worship, the Holy Spirit nudged "Tuang" and said, "He's the one." The next morning, "Tuang" began showing me Christian songs that he wrote and released to Youtube. The majority of all his videos had 30,000+ views! I was amazed! He began to tell me about his heart to see musicians get saved, know the Word of God, get trained, and write music that would be a fragrant offering rising to the Lord from Myanmar! I asked him, "How can I help?" This was when he told me the story of how God spoke to him. I told him I would love to support him somehow. I asked him, "What are your dreams for the future? What is your plan?" "Tuang" said, "I want to take a School of Worship in Kona, take a School of Biblical studies course in Kona, then come back to Myanmar and start a training facility. I just don't know who to talk to." I was stunned! I really was the person he needed to talk to! To make a long story short, he came and took my School of Worship course in Kona, helped take an outreach team to Myanmar, and continues to train and equip musicians! Last July, he told me that he had been to over 90 locations and had seen 3,000+ people get trained in local churches across the country. Amidst a pandemic and a military coup, the work that God begun continues to move forward! This month, "Tuang" began his first worship school, in an undisclosed location, in Myanmar. He has 60 students and 15 staff. I'm undone by the goodness of God to take my meager acts of obedience, to steward the giftings He's given me, and multiply them in the nations of the earth. Thank you Jesus!The Call To Action for Today:Would you take some moments out of your day today and tomorrow to pray for "Tuang", his wife, the staff, and the students of the school? With the military controlling the country, danger is around almost every corner. Also, pray for the songs that I am recording, that God would inject His very presence into the sounds. That every person who listens to these songs would have their lives changed, in some way, by the power of God moving through song.I'm so grateful for each of you. These stories are our stories.May the Lamb receive the full reward of His suffering!!
