Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) is approximately 90% Buddhist, with millions in the country never having heard the gospel.
The country has been closed to outsiders and to any public evangelism for decades while it was run by the military, but now with the country being more democratic, there is great freedom to share the glorious news of the gospel with the lost there.
Myanmar is very unique in that 99% of people will happily receive a gospel tract off you and almost everyone who is not in a rush will be happy to have a conversation about spiritual things with you.
That is why we see having mission trips to Myanmar are very fruitful, and we are opening up the opportunity for you to join us on a future trip. As we know the harvest is plentiful but the labourers are few. Even if you have not evangelised much before, it is one of the best training grounds.
"It is so great being with likeminded believers with the sole aim of sharing the gospel with the lost."
September 2019 Recap video:
Myanmar: TBA (waiting on travel restrictions to ease)
Cost: $1350 total estimated cost (including flights) per person. (Price estimate is in Australian dollars. Price based on coming from Australia, so if you are coming from another country then flight prices may vary).
Whether you are experienced in evangelism or not, please prayerfully consider coming along. We will be working with local pastors in Myanmar who will be our translators on the streets.
We'll also visit two Christian orphanages while over there and run a program for the kids on one of the days.
"The people in Myanmar are so much more open to the gospel than those back home."
Requirements:
A valid passport
