Ma Thwei Thwei Oo's husband left her for another woman when they were staying in Nyaung Done Township eight months ago and so she came over to live with her mother in Thanlyin. She said that her due date is 15 September; 2008.She is also struggling for her survival by selling fry-noodle & vermicelli around the village.

Daw Ohn Thwei was working as a maid at K. Jar Noo’s home (once a popular singer) in Yangon since her husband passed away on 2006. She also has a son on whom she cannot depend upon as he is married and is struggling to make ends meet himself.           

The family is facing a lot of hardships even for their daily bread, as they have no capital and with six mouths to feed and another one is coming soon. On top of that a crisis occurred on the 3rd May, 2008 morning when their house was hit by Cyclone Nargis. The roof and all partitions were blown away by Nargis and their house was almost collapsed. They were all really frightened and had to take shelter in a friend's house that was fortunate to have only the roof blown away.

          After the cyclone was over neighbors came to help her rebuilt her house with whatever materials they can salvage but it was not enough for complete the whole house for them. Their nearest neighbor U Aye Kyi and wife Daw Than Nwe who are Christians requested Rev.Andrew of Phayangasu village church for help to assist them in renovating their house. Daw Ohn Thwei said that she really appreciates our assistance and now their family can sleep safely and soundly under the shelter. She also testified that she noticed whenever she was in need; Christians always came to her assistance for help. Even though she was not yet a Christian, she accepted that there is God who is taking care of her through the Christians. She is as a maid in a Christian home till present. They also assist her whenever she needs help. According to her own words, she said," I really appreciate and I'd like to say thanks a lot, that’s the word which comes from deep inside my heart with deepest feelings. I’ll never forget your assistance. That’s all!”

Are you ready now to face Jesus ?
Mood:  surprised
Now Playing: Many Christians are not ready to meet Jesus Christ,Why ?

Many Christians are not ready to meet Jesus Christ because they are living for self and not for the Savior.They are living for time and not for eternity.They are living to get rather than to give.They walk in the flesh and not in the Spirit.All of their works will be burned with fire at the judgment seat of Jesus Christ.They themselves will be saved yet so as by fire.

Jesus said that " Unless one is born again ,he cannot see the Kingdom of God."

So..we must be born again Christian. We must walk in the Spirit not in the flesh.

Jesus also said that " Abide in Me and I in you.As the branch cannot bear fruit of itsel,unless it abides in the vine,neither can you,you abide in Me." "I am the vine,you are the branches.He who abides in Me,and I in him,bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing".If anyone does not abide in Me,he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire,and they are burned." 

All we have to do is abide in Jesus Christ.That's all !!

May God bless and keep you all.

In Christ,

Cho Lay

Jesus is truly the good news.

Now Playing: What is the Gospel?
Topic: What is the Gospel ?

The Gospel means good news. This good news is Jesus, who came down from heaven and became man in order that He may suffer and die for us. Jesus paid the penalty for our sins. All have sinned and cannot come to the glory of God but the Father loved us so much that He provided the only remedy for our sins, the Lord Jesus who died and rose again from the dead to give us eternal life. Jesus became sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Jesus is the only way to the Father. When you receive Jesus you receive eternal life.
How do you receive Jesus?
You receive Jesus by:
Deciding to turn away and repent from your sins; and
Deciding to surrender your entire life to Jesus and make Him your Lord or owner of your life.

“I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him and dine with him, and he with Me” ( Rev.3:20 )
Just open your heart wide and to let Him in..!
When you do these Jesus comes into your heart and you receive eternal life.
Jesus is truly the good news.

Now Playing: Faith in Jesus Christ !
Topic: Trust in God !

There is only one requirement for salvation--faith in Jesus Christ. Just believe in Him. That's all you need to do.
You are not saved by belonging to a particular church or denomination; no church saves you!
You are not saved if the good things you do outweigh your bad things--they never will!
You are saved only by faith in the Saviour--Jesus Christ.
While Jesus was hanging on the cross, a thief hung beside Him on another cross. This thief turned to Jesus and said, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom" (Luke 23:42). No one could have spoken those words without real faith. He believed. Jesus responded, "Today you will be with Me in Paradise." That thief had no opportunity to be baptized. There was no time to join the rest of the believers (church) No chance to do good works. He was dying. All he had time to do was trust Christ.
Like him all YOU need to do is trust Jesus to be saved ...But this faith must be yours alone. You are not saved because your parents believe.
Your salvation doesn't come through someone else, not even your priest, your pastor or your rabbi.
Once you have taken this step of faith, you are placed into the security of God's hand. Here is Jesus' promise to you. "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand" (John 10:27-29). So ask yourself if you have trusted Christ as your Saviour.
Once you have been saved it's important to share your news with someone. Tell them that Jesus has become real to you, that He has come into your life.
It means you become a witness for Jesus and Jesus wants us all to be witnesses to His love.
You don't have to be able to provide all the right answers, you may not fully understand what has happened yourself but it helps you clarify your thinking and will bring your friends face to face with God's love.Talking about what has happened to you helps you separate the questions you have from the facts you know. It will help you solidify in your own mind what has happened to you.
When you tell people you will probably be very excited about what has happened to you. It is important that--however much you feel that they must believe--you are patient and kind with them. Don't start an argument. That is unlikely to bring them to Jesus. A testimony that reflects the great love that brought you to Him is far more likely to help them open their hearts as you have done.

My Testimony
Mood:  incredulous
Now Playing: My Testimony

First of all, I would like to say that thank you for your time to visit my Blog and read my testimony which I have encountered till today. I wish God will bless and keep each and everyone who are visiting my Blog and I hope my testimony will be encouraged to you all. I was a non Christian before . I did not have much believe and faith in Christianity. My parent that is my father was a non Christian and my mother is still a non Christian living with my relatives. My companions, friends and some relatives are mostly Christian but they haven't been able to change my religion and faith; in fact, they were a happy go lucky group with only a little faith in God and Jesus Christ. They took life easy not depending much upon their lives as lives given by God. My wife and the relatives from her side are not Christians at all. They do not have a liking for the Christian faith. They do not approve of my being a Christian.

In June 1990, I was in Philippines. While I was there I was able to study Christianity at Pentecostal Church of Christ (4th watch) in Marikina. But without much faith and was baptized, then I carried on Gospel works with them. The real practice of praising God's grace before having food or doing any other things stuck me that nothing can be done without the grace of God which we must always remember. My experiences there and their good examples of strong faith made me believe that there are good Christians; but even then I have had not enough faith in God yet. When I got back to Burma I did a lot of Gospel works among my Christian relatives who called themselves Christian but have had no Christ in their hearts. On and on I went Gospelling but I too did not have Christ in my heart yet. I strongly considered one day, how I could have Christ fully in my heart. Then I read and studied the Bible thoroughly and it was Rev 3:20 from the Bible that changed me entirely to have Christ always in my heart. Verse goes thus: " I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him and dine with him, and he with Me " I prayed to God like this: " Lord Jesus ! I need You. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sin. I open the door of my life and receive You as my savior and Lord. Take control of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be. Amen." It was then, that I opened the door wide and to let Him in. That was the day when I received Jesus Christ, a right into my heart. Since then I was strongly trusted in Jesus Christ as my personal savior and Lord. After my strong and trust in Christ I have joined the Churches and have had fellowship with believers and unbelievers of God. As my wife who is against Christianity knows that Christians attend Churches on Sunday. I could not attend the Church openly, so I attend the home cells in various Christian's houses on week day to join with them and have fellowship with them. While I was at a home cell in Yangon 25th March 1996 on Thursday evening at 45th street (Uncle Rahjam and family) I heard news about Rev: George, Saya Yawhan Thein of AG Church getting into trouble over a suspicious Criminal Proceeding of conveying marijuana because it was found under their seats in the bus they were traveling in. They were arrested and put in a lock up in Pegu Central Jail. As soon as I heard about it, I requested District Government Attorney U Maung Maung Khin and my lawyer U Han Toe to come with me and go to Pegu to help them. In Pegu, No.2 Police Station, I discussed with them and found that the Criminal Proceeding would take long because it would have to go through the Insein CID. There was not only two Rev: but also another man U Kyi Win who was a trader of selling aluminum pots and pan as Co-Accused. As they told me not to worry about the Criminal Proceeding because they will take responsibility for it. I returned to Yangon.

Next week on Wednesday at a Youth fellowship prayer meeting in Gyogone AG Church, I met the AG church members praying hard for the two Rev's Criminal Proceeding  because one of them Rev:George would have to carried out the Baptism Ceremony on Sunday and he had taken responsibility to do it. So they were greatly anxious about his release to be able to do the Baptism Ceremony,in-time. A leadership of all AG Churches in Myanmar, Rev: U Myo Chit had prayed hard to God to send them back in- time for their Baptism Ceremony on Sunday. I could not believe it because the time was too short but I was amused for his fervent prayers for their return. I strongly believed that it was impossible for their release in-time. I was anxious that their prayers and faith would be a failure if only Rev: George and Saya Yawhan Thein had not arrived back in-time. Only Thursday and Friday remain to keep on running. Next day (on Thursday): I followed up in my car and prayed to God from the very start like this:- " Heavenly father! Let not my journey to Pegu be in vain. Please grant me to be able to bring back Rev: George and Saya Yawhan Thein with me on my return to Yangon by my car. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen " There in Pegu I found that it was not easy at all for their release because the evidence was in sufficient as told by the report of the Divisional Law Office signed by Divisional Law Officer. Township Police Officer also remarked on that Report that he suspected Bus driver, Car spare man and Rev: George's son also must be a carrier of the Marijuana and ordered to investigate again. That's why the Criminal Proceeding was taken long and unable to release. I met Township Police Officer and requested to help them.Township Police Officer explained me that the Criminal Proceeding was depend much upon Government Attorney's Report.  If the Government Attorney's Report mentioned that " the evidence is weak and not enough to charge " : He will take responsibility for the Criminal Proceeding. So then I went to Divisional Law Office. I met Divisional Law Officer and requested to mention the main fact at the Government Attorney's Report that "The evidence is weak and not enough to charge" for the two Rev's Criminal Proceeding. Then I prayed to God like this: - " Dear Lord Jesus Christ! I believe that nothing is impossible to God. Please make the Divisional Law Officer change his mind that the two Rev: have not enough evidence for the arrest and that the Government Law Officer's Report should be re-written to save that they are innocent. Amen" The Divisional Law Officer was completely silent for about 10 minutes. He was reading the Report again and considering. Then he said that he would re-write the Report again according to the facts I have mentioned and to come again for it the next day ( on Friday). Praise God !! Rev. Peter minus and I spent the night at the Shwe-War- Tun Hotel in Pegu and that night I prayed to God thus:- " Oh God ! Please give me the answer for the two Rev" My Brother-in-law Dr.Albert Tun Lin had said that since the Bible is a living Bible, we could get the answer to our prayer on turning the page of the Bible with that intention and read what it says. I turned one of the pages of the Bible and found the verse from Matthew chapter 9, Verse 28-29 (Words of Christ in red) which says, " Do you believe that I am able to do this....According to your faith let it be to you" We were over joyed with gracious support of God. Hallelujah!!

Next day( on Friday) with the revised Government Attorney's Report we went to the Police station and showed it to the Township Police Officer who released the two Rev:- on the fact that their Criminal Proceeding was without enough evidence to charge according to the code of criminal procedure: section 169. Thus the two Rev: were released and were able to return to Yangon in-time to do the work laid down by God. According to my prayer, I was able to bring them back in my car. By the grace of God the Baptism ceremony was hold at the AG Church on Sunday morning and there Rev:George was baptizing them in the name of Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. I have to say one more thing: that's (at that day) on Sunday at the Baptism Ceremony , one man came and introduced me that his name was Kyi Win. He told me that by the grace of God only his name was also put in a lock up in Jail instead of himself because on that day he also has planned to travel from Taung Ngoo to Yangon with ev.George and Saya Yaw Han Thein by bus and he left in Taungoo for unforseen circumstances and missed the bus on that day.Then He heard that event later that with the same his name was put in Jail together with two Rev as Co-Accused instead of him.Is it coincidient ?   Incrediable !

I would like all of you to know that there is nothing impossible with God. God is a living God. All things happen according to God's will. These things help us to have greater and strong faith in God. I can never forget these happening all my life. May God bless you all. Thank you very much.

Everything happens for a purpose
We must talk until there are no more words. We must explain until nothing is understood. We must be honest until nothing is hidden. We must listen until everything has been said. We must question so that we know why. We must be fair so that everything?s basic needs are met. If there is no communication there will be no bond. If there will be no bond there will be no friendship. Everything happens for a purpose. We may not see the wisdom of it all now but trust and believe in the Lord that everything is for the best.
The way to be anxious about nothing is to be prayerful about everything.

Honsety,Good will & Durability
Hi Friend!
He who wants to be prosperous needs three identities. The first one is...Honsety
The second is Good will and third is Durability.
A man with honesty will win the trust of his friends.
Being a man with confidence, he’ will prosper at any trade.
A man in good will ever gives priority to others rather than himself. Friends are ready to stand for him. Therefore, he will never be in hot water. However, the value of honesty and good will cannot be known within a moment, he will face difficulties at the beginning. So let us face such hardship without a mind of chicken heart, never give up and keep trying at one’s best with might and main. That will lead to great fortune. Do not feel doubt my friend.
It is not a tell-table but my story.
