While in Myanmar in the Spring, a Langham representative met some inspiring people who go all out to reach people with the gospel.
The person from Yangon said: ‘I and my brother will be leaving next month to conduct a Langham Preaching event for a week in the far north of the country. It is a mountainous region, but there are Christian villages, and pastors from about 60 churches will be there. We will take two flights to the nearest city. Then we travel for two days on rented motorbikes (the roads can’t take four-wheelers). And then another two days hiking on foot (with the help, we hope, of porters if we can hire them).’
Like Paul’s journeys
After this journey, they will teach for a week, and then make the same journey home again. It felt like the travels of the Apostle Paul in mountainous Turkey. But for them, it just seemed very matter of fact. Those remote churches and pastors need the Word of God as much as any city church, so they go and teach them.
