Keep on Praying for MUST

Dear coworkers,

Today the military leaders came to MUST and demanded a list of all the residents including MUST students and staffs. Pastor David and his staffs worried about possible danger on them and decided to have the students for early graduation next Tuesday and each go back home. It's very sad that they have to leave the school without graduation ceremony after 4 years of hardships. But this is the best direction for their safety. Now only the orphans and MUST staffs will stay in the campus. CMI Shepherds are split to each way to live their own life. Weekly Bible study through email is the only way to support them. Please pray for them and Pastor David to overcome many burden through the help of the Holy Spirit.

Pray! Pray!! for Myanmar!!!

More than 200 protesters have been killed since February 1.

Every night the soldier’s petrol and arrested some young people. The military are much in need of more soldiers. They are recruiting new soldiers. The regime announced to one of the parties called USDP which supports the regime that all young people from this party must join the army. Yesterday, 200 young people were arrested in Seihkanta block and forced to join the army. Every night we hear shooting and explosions. Most of the ministers in Yangon fled away continuously. We are also invited to do the same. But, we will never flee because we have our people here. If running away, we all run. We cannot leave orphans and others.

We are still trying to have only one pair of sleepers at home.

I am much better after taking medication for three days already and two more months to go. Please remember in your prayers. The rest of my family members are doing well in the Lord.

We got two new orphans. They were admitted to another orphanage home. That orphanage home stopped running because of the situation and all of them should go back to their relatives. But two of them have no place to go back. Therefore, two of the new orphans were admitted again yesterday. I will send you a picture of them and their bio later.

We still run our Bible school but four of our students already returned home because their parents requested us since Yangon is not safe. 13 are still studying. Most of them are final year students. They want to graduate regardless of the situation. We all faculty members agree with them and still run the school.

Our daughter churches are still closed. One of our pastor’s family (Pastor CUng Hun Lian family) tried to run away since their place is very dangerous now. There was martial law claimed in their place by the regime days ago. Because of the situation, we have no longer heard about the infection of COVID. We think that the virus also gets involved in CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE MOVEMENT. No news about this virus in Myanmar.

In this junta rule, there is no law. You can be arrested any time. Therefore, we must pray and be wise.

Urgent Prayer for Pastor David in Myanmar, Missionary Peter Chung

Prayer request: Doctors said Pastor David is suffering heart attack (arteriosclerosis). I'm sorry for late info. Today, Pastor Moe Moe told me that they would go to hospital for medical check up if he (Pastor David) needs for surgery. If he needed surgery, it will take at least three days for major surgery. If not, they'd give some medicine for cure. Let's for Pastor David. This time a serious time for us. The military imposed martial law in Yangon's four township including North Okkalapa. It's really dangerous to go out. Let's pray for our safety and Pastor David's health.

Peter: Please pray for Pastor David to be recovered from heart attack.

Urgent!! Prayer for Myanmar, Missionary Peter Chung & Ling

I want to share something about the ground situation in Burma today. It's been 38 days since the military coup. The situation is more than serious. The internet has been cut off from 1:00 am to 9:00 am everyday. The military and police patrol every night and scared us by detonating bombs across the cities. If you look at the embassies of all foreign countries excluding Chinese embassy, they alert people and ask the military to withdraw their troops from the public areas, apartment places. More than 60 people have been killed brutally and 1000s have been arrested. Especially activists, journalists and protesters are not safe anymore. Five mainstream news agencies are banned by the military. Some are arrested and then killed by persecuting brutally at night. We cannot sleep at night. Jet flights are flying on the city every night. Police enter into the apartment and arrest people who join CDM. In today, more than 300 students were arrested in North Okkalapa( that's a nearby the Galaxy hotel). On March 3 there 32 people were killed on the street at the gateway of Galaxy hotel, North Okkalapa square. So you can imagine how the situation is really really bad. We don't know how the situation would be so serious, it may be worse than 88 Uprising. And it is sure that this situation would last long. Please pray for us. God is only our hope.

Peter Chung: One of CMI Shepherds, Ling, sent me the more vivid pictures of Myanmar today.
