Vui En Thang knows the value of bringing the next generation to Jesus Christ. As an English teacher and preacher, Vui hopes that more and more of Myanmar’s youth will be raised in the Lord’s way.

“The opportunity comes when my friend and I are invited to teach English to [Middle School] children every Saturday morning,” Vui says. “So far, no one responds. But we press on to do and to tell the Gospel while teaching English.”

Vui also spends time visiting universities and sharing the Gospel with the students to whom he talks. He says he has shared the Gospel with more than 30 students at two universities, and some of these conversations have come to bear fruit.

“There are two people who said that they were really convicted and are going to join our youth worship program,” Vui says.

He is excited for the opportunity to start a youth worship program at his church, which he says there is a great need for.

“Our young people are likened to sheep without a shepherd,” he says. “They do not go to their churches due to the fact that the churches cannot create programs that are relevant to their culture. As a result, they scatter around town to find enjoyment.”

Vui would like to draw the flock back to the Shepherd by creating programs that the youth will enjoy and will encourage them to attend church.

Vui also has his sights set on developing a Christian school. He sees this as a lucrative avenue to reach the youth of Myanmar with the encouragement of the parents.

“Because the present situation in Myanmar is something to be called a renaissance, every parent is looking for a good education [for their children]. They place good education above their religious beliefs,” he says. “If we can make the cost low and the campus bigger, there will be a greater number of students being raised up in the Lord’s way.”

Vui credits his time at the Haggai Leader Experience as the life transforming moment that showed him his calling and his mission for the Kingdom of God.

“I became a new tool in God’s hand. Even when I delivered messages in the church, people were truly convinced in a way that wasn’t like before,” Vui says. “My preaching and teaching became so powerful, and I am always energized to share the Gospel.”

And share the Gospel he does, with great optimism for his country’s youth.

Right now, Vui needs our prayers. He needs us to pray that the youth worship group will get the instruments and mini bus they need. He needs us to pray for more opportunities to reach university students, who will become leaders themselves soon. He needs us to pray for support and sponsors for the Christian school.

Vui has great plans and aspirations for the next generation of Myanmar, and he will press on until he sees these plans bear fruit.
