Archbishop of Myanmar visits CBSI Classes

The Most Rev Stephen Then, Archbishop of Church of the Province of Myanmar, paid visits to 2 of the CBSI classes in Malaysia despite his short stay in Kuala Lumpur. On Wednesday night (9 February ) Archbishop visited the Ampang Class held at the Melawati Gospel Center. He sat in on the Leaders Meeting. Then on Thursday (10 February) he travelled with the National Director to Ipoh to visit the class at the YMCA.

The Archbishop addressed the groups after the study and shared that he was deeply comforted and strengthen by God’s Word and the support of many Christians and Churches when the Nargis Cyclone hit Myanmar. He said that he was impressed by the depth of maturity he had observed in the groups and the desire to study the Word. He added that the lectures given after the study was most effective and inspiring. This is a good way to get people to study God’s word. He ended by saying that he longed to see such bible study groups set up in Yangon and all over the major cities of Myanmar.

Brothers and sisters let us pray the the desires of this man of God will come to pass in the near future.

PJ Class Commences

The PJ Class commenced on 17 February 2009 at St. Paul’s Anglican Church. It was exciting as the turn out was  more than the number registered. Praise the Lord! I never cease to be amazed at what the Lord does. The number is expected to increase as class members were confident of bringing their friends to the class next week. There were 31 present last week. There is a good team of small group leaders. This year we are hoping that those who have been trained as Teaching Leaders will be confident to take some of the sessions. Please pray for Thomas Kong as he coordinates this group. The Class is studying Colossians.

New Semester in Ipoh

Our class in Ipoh will end their study of the Book of Daniel this Thursday 12 February . It has been challenging and exciting to know that God was always there for Daniel and his friends. This will be true even for us today. The class numbers have been consistent and we pray that you will invite more friends to participate in the next study which begins on 17 March 2009. We will be studying 1 & 2 Thessalonians.

The venue will still be at YMCA Ipoh and it will be n Thursday at 8.00pm. Please register with your class coordinator as soon as possible and better still bring someone who will benefit and grow through the studies.

See you at the next class. God Bless
