Myanmar 11.18.13 Expanded Opportunities in Myanmar

Expanded Opportunity in Myanmar We are more than encouraged about the open door for GBTF in Myanmar. One teaching site in this Buddhist stronghold has now blossomed to three. Our class counts will quadruple or more as a result of these open doors. Remember, the mission of GBTF is to equip national pastors and other […]

Myanmar 11.11.13 Last Teaching Day (Bruce)

Last Teaching Day Well, today was our last full ministry day here in Yangon, and it was probably the busiest and the most profitable. Having been invited to speak and lecture at Yangon Bible College, we headed across this sprawling city about 8:30 and didn’t arrive at the location until 9:30. It was in a […]

Myanmar 11.10.13 The Lord’s Day (Bruce)

The Lord’s Day in Myanmar The Lord’s day here in Myanmar has been very good. We had two good services with at least four people who indicated that they were interested in knowing more about becoming Christians. That’s interesting here. There is a certain segment of the population here that are called “nominal Christians.” They, […]

Myanmar 11.9.13 Friday Graduation

Friday Class and Graduation! Well, today marks the end of our class time here in Yangon. Grace and I are both exhausted so I know the men and women must be spent as well. Our men’s class had seven graduates and two men who attended most of the classes and quizzes. Unfortunately, without completion of […]

Myanmar 11.9.13 Fun Facts About Myanmar

Fun Facts About Myanmar 1. They have no health insurance. If you get sick, you either pay cash or get no treatment. Dying? Too bad. The year old daughter of one of the women in my class had an accident on Wednesday evening. She was jumping up and down from a squat position, and her […]

Myanmar 11.8.13 – The Children of Myanmar (Grace)

Jesus said, “Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not.” I have always been involved in children’s ministry – as a mother, as a pastor’s wife, as a teacher. The children of Myanmar leave me with a great burden. I cannot find that even the churches here are doing much to […]

Myanmar 11.6.13 Hump Day (Bruce)

Hump Day Greetings from Yangon! They call Wednesday hump day and that’s exactly what we encountered today. Four of our ten men were not able to return to class after completing two days. We don’t know all of the reasons but our focus today has been on the six men who are strongly committed to […]

Myanmar 2013 Unexpected Blessings

I have had between 12 and 15 women in my first two days of teaching. The numbers will continue to grow throughout the week. The same is true of the men’s class. What is unexpected is that both Bruce and I have a couple of unsaved people who have showed up for the classes. They […]

Myanmar 11.7.13 Cultural Details (Grace)

We are about to leave for day 4 of our classes, and I wanted to give an update before we leave. My friend, Glenda Grayum, asked a couple of questions that reminded me not to take for granted that you understand everything we put in our emails. Thanks, Glenda. Food: Myanmar is an exceptionally poor […]

Myanmar – Day Two of Teaching 2013

As we left for the church this morning I prayed that God would give us more than the ten men we had yesterday. When class started this morning we had our ten but by 10:00 we had thirteen men sitting in our Tuesday class. Two of the three extra men were unconverted Buddhists who decided […]

Global Baptist Training Foundation offers four levels of training in Hermeneutics, Basic Theology, Expositional Preaching, and Evangelism. For national pastors who desire training in the original biblical languages, we also offer extended training in this area. When it is possible to return to teaching sites twice a year, the training can be completed in as little as two years (without languages). ESL is also available to all of our students.
