(BAH-mah) – Christmastime has come, and that gives believers in Myanmar a great opportunity to share the good news with the people around them, who typically know nothing about Jesus. The Buddhists of Myanmar may not know Jesus, but they have had small peeks at Christmas through online media, and they are very interested to know more about it. All they know now are gifts, Christmas trees, and Santa Claus, but believers know that this is not the essential meaning of Christmas. During this time of year, local believers have great opportunity to share more openly in a place that is typically hostile to the gospel. Please pray for them and their church as they seek to make Him known during this time of year. These are some of the busiest times of year for ministry, and they can be exhausting. Ask that these believers will fully communicate the joy and hope that Christians experience because of the precious gift of the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Pray that the gospel will be clearly shared and understood and that hearts will be changed.
