MYANMAR’ UPDATES Dear Faithful prayers friends of Myanmar, Greetings from Myanmar. I would like to express our thanks to you for your prayers especially for our annual meeting as I requested last week. We flew about two hours to Kalamyo, which is on the western side of Myanmar from Yangon on March 8. The next day, we drove about twelve hours to Hakha, the capital of Chin State (120 miles) where we had our annual meeting. The annual meeting started on March 10th with about 50 people, including pastors, and lay leaders/church delegates. Our meeting went smoothly and we were encouraged by the pastors’ work reports. We are very excited to move forward with the strategic plan for the Myanmar ministry. We pledged to have at least five church plants each year. On Saturday we had the ordination service and leaders training and encouragement by Unau (brother) Eric and Don. Pastor Carol brought the message on Sunday. Our people were so happy and received blessings through their teaching and encouragement. Although we faced three days of unseasonal rain and cold, we warmed up during the meeting and training and activities of annual conference because they were so exciting. Everyone sits around a little charcoal burner to Unau Eric was checking to see if he wanted to ride keep warm in Pa Kep’s mother’s house. on top like the locals. ’ One of the stops for road “The long and winding road”. construction. We returnd to Kalamyo on March 13 with another 12+ hour drive. We flew back to Yangon. Don, Kathy, Eric and Virginia left the next day to go to Cambodia for the annual meeting. Pastor Carol will return to the States on March 20. We are thankful that she took the English minutes of the annual meeting for us again. Thank you so much again for your love and your faithful prayers for us. Praise points: 1) Praise the Lord that our annual meeting went smoothly. 2) Praise the Lord for the faithful missionaries God have provide us in Myanmar like Eric and Virginia Spangler, Don and Kathy Williams and Carol Stickney, our first full-time missionary. 3) Praise the Lord for the dedicated pastors and faithful lay leaders of Myanmar FMC and ministries—church plants, Bible college, boarding School and Children’s ministry and water projects, etc. 4) Praise the Lord for God providing faithful prayer friends like you.

Thank you so much for your love and your support. Pa Kep ’ Bible College Boarding School - High School students New ministry in Shan State MYANMAR’ Dear Friends and Family, Let me tell you about the wonderful people I met on my trip to Shan State in February. We visited Lashio and met with the pastor and the convert, Su Pine, I told you about in the last letter. Pastor Sai practices “life style” discipleship. Su Pine went with us to visit another village where a young many, Naw Kham, age 24, is evangelizing his neighborhood (his family was all Buddhist and he was the last to accept the Lord) and wants to work with Pastor Sai to plant another church. We also met with Pastor David (Davud in Shan) who has a Shan Bible College. One of his students is a woman who is about 40. “Nancy” (that’s what her name sounds like to me) comes from another village where the people are both Buddhist and animist. They all refuse to listen to an evangelist who visited. However, Nancy was sick and could not work. The evangelist prayed for her and she was healed and she asked Jesus to be her Savior. She was kicked out of her village and went to Lashio and joined the Bible College. Now she feels that God wants her to go back to her village and tell them about her God and His love. Please pray for “Nancy” and her future ministry. Mahphyo is one of “In Better Hands” house mothers. She is expecting her first biological child, but it is easy to see that she and her husband, Thent Zaw Moe, love all of their children with God’s love and are dedicated to raising the children to know Jesus, as are all the house parents. Her husband is an evangelist. In Kyaing Tung, I met with the core members of Pastor Stephen’s church. I asked you to pray for him in my last letter. Because they have been renting places to have church, they have had to move many times when the Buddhist neighbors complained about their singing and praying during their worship services. Because of this, many of their congregation have started attending other churches that have a permanent building near to them. In the process, they have also lost several people who have good jobs and were faithful tithers. Their main prayer request is that they can buy land to build their own building. Because it is in the city, one lot is equivalent to $30,000. Please pray with them for God’s resources. In Tachileik, Pastor Pa Kep, Pastor Stephen, and a man who has a desire to go to a closed country nearby met with one of our FM missionaries living in Thailand who is a native of that country, but was kicked out and can no longer enter because of his efforts to tell his countrymen about Jesus. This Shan (Akha) man is also praying for resources, prayer and financial, to reach the lost people in that country. Will you please join us in praying for this effort. And finally, we met with two young men, Rah Mo and David, who have a desire to start FM churches, on in Tachileik and one in the surrounding area. Matthew 9:37-38 says, “Then He said to his disciples, The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” - the scriptures say the workers are few, however here in Myanmar, I am seeing such a strong desire to share the gospel with other but not the resources to do it. In our country, our resources are plentiful. If you want to be part of these works, please pray about becoming part of the missionary team to “extend the kingdom of God” in Myanmar by becoming the “resource” in the partnership to win the lost to Christ. Because of Jesus, Carol MYANMAR’ Su Pine Pastor Sai Naw Kham Mahphyo Pastor Stephen (far left) and his core group. Nancy Rah Mo Pastor Davud, the principal of the Shan State Bible College, wants to partner with us for church planter training and to join our David denomination.

Atlas of Trafficking in Mainland Southeast Asia Drug trafficking in and out of the Golden Triangle Pierre-Arnaud Chouvy CNRS-Prodig (Maps 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 25, 31) The Golden Triangle is the name given to the area of mainland Southeast Asia where most of the world‟s illicit opium has originated since the early 1950s and until 1990, before Afghanistan‟s opium production surpassed that of Burma. It is located in the highlands of the fan-shaped relief of the Indochinese peninsula, where the international borders of Burma, Laos, and Thailand, run. However, if opium poppy cultivation has taken place in the border region shared by the three countries ever since the mid-nineteenth century, it has largely receded in the 1990s and is now confined to the Kachin and Shan States of northern and northeastern Burma along the borders of China, Laos, and Thailand.

According to the SIPRI ’s (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute) report, in 2014, the global military spending dropped by 0.4 percent in real terms since 2013,but in Asia, the military expenditure rising by 5 percent, reaching a total of $439 billion, because there are many security challenges in this region. We should avoid “security dilemma” and war. China advocates New Asian Security Concept • Xi Jinping, the President of China, pointed out that, “We believe that it is necessary to advocate common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security in Asia. We need to innovate our security concept, establish a new regional security cooperation architecture, and jointly build a road for security of Asia that is shared by and win-win to all.” China advocates common security in Asia • Common security means respecting and ensuring the security of each and every country. Asia is a region of great diversity. Countries differ in size, wealth and strength. They vary in historical and cultural traditions as well as social systems, and have different security interests and aspirations”.

  • The Economic Relations of Myanmar-China
    Chapter 7 The Economic Relations of Myanmar-China Shihong Bi Abstract After Myanmar’s new government came to power in March 2011, Myanmar’s reforms opened the door and provided more opportunities for Myanmar-China to cooperate in the economy, trade, and culture on the one hand and also created some uncertainties about the economic relations of Myanmar-China on the other hand. The changes in Myanmar’s politics and the improvement of western countries’ relations with Myanmar are a challenge to China, and this challenge exists objectively. However, the overall cooperation between China and Myanmar over the past decades will not disappear immediately, as China has obvious economic advantages in economic relations with Myanmar-China. China should envisage the deficiencies of its relations with Myanmar, and make efforts to solve the problems regarding the Myanmar-China economic cooperation and endeavor to improve China’s image in Myanmar, to ensure that the economic relations of Myanmar-China can develop sustainably. 1. Introduction After Myanmar’s new government came to power in March 2011, Myanmar’s political, economic, and social transformation, and reform and development have made great achievements. However, the development of the situation inside and outside Myanmar could be affected by these issues, such as the leadership’s ability to adapt to the new political structure, the new challenges to economic development, the national reconciliation process that is threatened by the Kachin conflict, the continuous religious conflicts, as well as the domestic democratic reforms that expect to live up to the western powers’ standard. Myanmar’s reforms have opened the door and provide more opportunities for Myanmar-China cooperation in the economy, trade, and culture on the one hand, and created some uncertainties about the economic relations of Myanmar-China on the other hand.
