Tachilek is located at the border of Thailand, in the Shan State of eastern Myanmar. It was a border crossing used in the opium trade from the Golden Triangle. The town was a major distribution point for heroin and drugs are distributed by armed groups in Shan State. However, by God’s grace is not as dangerous as it is used to be due to some agreements between cease-fire group and the military.  There is no statistics of Christianity population in Shan State but estimate more than 95 percent of the population would still be unbelievers.

  

TESTIMONY OF HLA KYI WIN

 First of all, I would like to give Thank to God to Share about our president.  His name is Rev.Hla Kyi Win, belong to La Hu (Shan Tribe).  He was born on March 15 of 1975.  His parents were Christians but h did not know the Lord Jesus Christ that He is the Saviour of the world.  By the Grace of God, one Evangelist came to his hometown, and shared the Gospel. And he accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as His personal saviour and Lord in the year of 1993.

After he accepted the Lord Jesus Christ he felt something in his life because of all our La Hu People must hear the gospel of Christ.  and he had a burden to share the gospel those who never heard and did not know the Lord Jesus.  In the year of 1998 he got a chance to go to Bible School in India and completed Master of Theology studies. He met his wife Tial Za Rem in the theological college. He came back from India in the year of 2004 and he is now serving the Lord among the ANIMISM.  By the grace of God, he have planted 40 churches among the La Hu People now a day.   And also he have started Bible School and Orphanage ministries due to the needs of the people in Shan State.

We would like to invite you to not only get to know the work and ministry that God has called us to do, but also get involve in our family ministry. Please take a look of our mission work in Myanmar (Burma) and see how the Lord has been guiding us and establishing His work here in the Eastern Shan State, Myanmar and partner with us and pray for us.

 

   EVANGELISM

Hla Kyi Win arrived in Tachileik in May of 2005 after graduating from Tabernacle Baptist Bible College and Seminary in Bangalore, India.  He returned with burdens for his own people, the Lahu.  He prayed for his own people even before he left the seminary.  Upon his arrival in Tachileik, he prayed that the Lord would graciously give him the salvation of five hundred souls that year.

After starting his ministry in Tachileik, within two months, he began holding evangelistic campaigns in nearby Lahu villages.  The Lord did even more than he had asked, doubling the harvest to more than a thousand souls.  So the following year, Hla Kyi Win increase his goal to a thousand and again the Lord had fulfilled more than his request, giving him around fifteen hundred souls.  Most of his ministries were in villages that previously had pure animistic beliefs, no exposure to the gospel.

Below are the photos of evangelism from one village to another.

 In Myanmar, there are still four completely un-reached subgroups of Lahu, numbering over two hundred thousand.  And many of the other subgroups are still almost completely unreached.  Lahu also live in China, Laos and Vietnam. Hla Kyi Win ministry extends along the Myanmar and China border.

 

  THEOLOGICAL TRAINING CENTER

 Because of the large number of Lahu who came to Christ in heathen villages, Hla Kyi Win felt it was necessary to start a Bible school to train pastors for the new Christian villages and began this ministry in his own home in Tachileik starting in 2006.  Since many of these students were earning a living by farming, he decided to hold the school for six months during the rainy season when his students would be relatively free.  Thirteen students came up in the first class. The class expanded until there is no longer sufficient room for the students. 

 In 2008 Hla Kyi Win was able to purchase a piece of land about three miles outside the city.  He was able to build a couple of buildings, some of them are bamboo with coconut leaves roof and the school was moved to its new location in 2009. His first class of graduation was in 2009 and he is faithfully working in the ministry.  There is still a tremendous need for more facilities including classroom space, dorms and a Church.  Since the students have been coming from new Christian or heathen villages, Hla Kyi Win has tried to provide this education free.  He has one village that has caught the vision he as for God’s work and putting the effort to support most of his needs. However, he would like to hold classes in Burmese as well as Lahu and also he has the vision to extend starting training centers in key locations in the future that are beyond the costs that the villagers would be able to raise.

 

  CHILDREND’S MINISTRY

 

Poverty has left many orphans in villages like these—these children are currently being cared for by Hla Kyi Win.

 What does their future hold?  Any promise?

         

Burma has been plagued with many problems including civil war, inadequate year around food supply and the specter of disease with little or no medicine available.  As a result of these problems every Lahu village has a number of orphans who often have no one to be truly concerned for their needs.  In Tachileik alone there are perhaps 500 youngsters living on the streets. These children belong to many different racial groups.  But the largest population group in this particular area is the Lahu with hundreds of Lahu villages in the mountain area stretching from the Salween river to the China border.    Theoretically a location for an orphanage could be chosen in one of the villages, but as a practical matter, adequate schooling is not available at a village level.  At best a village school will only go up to the 4^th grade, and the teachers are so poorly paid that unless parents are able to chip in with school fees, one will usually be denied an education.  This means that orphans will fall through the cracks and have no chance at all.  So the chances are they will

 

1. Not have an adequate diet
2. Will not be able to go to school
3. Will become little better than slaves for anyone willing to care for them.

  

THE FIRST STEP

 Land must be purchased not far from the city of Tachilek itself.   This will serve both as a site for the orphans to live and also will be a great help in sustaining them.  Grand buildings invite government intervention so more freedom from interference to share the love of Christ means keeping away from unfriendly eyes.   To start with bamboo and thatch buildings likely are wiser.
