Personal Testimony:
I am Suan Khan Thang, born of a good Christian family in a small village of Myanmar.  When I was two years old, my right leg was denatured do to some medical injection.  Now I walk with the support of a crutch.  I had a golden priviledge of attending Sunday School regularly in my childhood.  It was exciting to me being a Sunday School student because I learned many things about God and the Bible.  Indeed it was a good foundation for my Bible knowledge, but in reality, I didn't receive Jesus Christ as my personal saviour and Lord.  I thought I was a saved person because of my good performance.

As the time passed by, in 1997, I was taught about the plan of Salvation by one of my Pastors and I received Jesus Christ as my personal saviour and Lord through John 3:16; Roman 1:17.

I finished my BS in 2003 and Master of Divinity in this year (2006).

There are about 51 million people living in Myanmar with the country composed of 135 ethic groups speaking 106 languages.  There are eight major ethic groups: Burmese (69%), Shan (8.5%), Kayin (6.2%), Rakhine (4.5%), Mon (2.4%), Chin (2.2%), Kachin (1.4%), Kayah (0.4%).  The main religions in the country are Buddhism (82%), Christianity (9%), Islam (3%), and other (6%).

The greatest challenge for the Myanmar Christian is to reach the unreached people groups with the gospel throughout the country.  It is sad to say that the Buddhists have not been receptive to the gospel; only a handful of them have been converted.  Most Christians are minority tribal people groups such as:  Chin, Kachin and Kayin people.  "....Adoriram Judson once cried out that it was easier to extract a tooth from a tiger's mouth than to convert a Burmese Buddhist to Christian faith..."   We are responsible to reach these major brethren with the good news for their hearts have been remained untouched.

Realizing the need of the gospel in Myanmar, I want to start my ministry with Amazing Grace Mission in Myanmar.  We have a big burden to win the lost souls in Myanmar.  I therefore need your prayful help in order to continue the mission work to reach the unreached with the gospel through the Power of the Holy Spirit so that His Kingdom will surely be established in Myanmar.  His name a lone be praised!

For Him,

Suan
