2020 was a difficult year in Myanmar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"President<\/a>Covid – 19 forced people into lockdown, businesses closed and people were without jobs, and social welfare is almost nonexistent. The hospitals\/clinics are not so well equipped to deal with many coronavirus cases. Over 3,000 deaths have been reported for 2020, but that might not be accurate with many villages and out-lying communities not reporting deaths as covid-related.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Peniel community on the outskirts of Yangon went into lockdown. The children were learning from home. Moses and Sharon and the house-parents were teaching the children and giving them lessons. Many of the bible students went back to their family homes in various regions. Moses has reported that the students are actively involved in their local churches and ministries in various ways and in various places.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Moses continues to be actively involved in Discipleship and church planting, as well as Leadership development.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The focus of Faith Love Hope Foundation for the next 2 years (2021\/22) will be a building project for a new Children’s home. The current home is in disrepair. The new home will be able to house more children who are orphaned or destitute, providing better living conditions than what their current home provides.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We look forward to what God will do in Myanmar in 2021, and God’s provision for the needs of the Peniel community – the children in the Children’s Home and the bible students in the Theological College.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Blessings,<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
