Pastors and lay leaders of Mercy Church and Mindon Christian Church of the Nazarene in Myanmar gathered in their village from July 19 to 21, 2024, for local NYI training. Although the participants faced many challenges before and during the training, they went home with unwavering faith and a renewed commitment to reach out and serve the young people in their community.

Their experience during the training became a beacon of hope and resilience to press on amid the difficult circumstances in the Myanmar Central District. 

Prior to the training, a tragic incident in the village where the training was held caused chaos in the area, making travel exceedingly difficult. The training continued, and all the participants were safe in the village. Their determination to learn, coupled with the grace of God, enabled them to overcome these formidable obstacles.

As the training began, the situation in the village worsened. Government officials declared martial law in the town, which brought significant hardships to the residents. It also restricted access to shops and raised the prices of goods. But amid these challenges, God’s protection was evident. The training continued. Everyone who attended remained safe in the village.

The young people were inspired, eager to serve the lord, and enthusiastic to practice what they learned. The outcome of this gathering is a divine blessing and a testament to the power of faith and perseverance.

The success of this training in Myanmar Central District was possible through collaboration and divine support, highlighting the unwavering spirit of a community united in faith, determined to rise above adversity for the glory of God.
