“I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest” (John 4:35).
1. The wings of the Lord
 As I was looking down the green landscapes of Yangon through the airplane’s window, many thoughts passed through my mind. This past summer was full of events for me. I attended three different conferences and I did not have much energy left in my body by the end of August. However, here I am again by the wings of the Lord for another ministry—probably the most important one.
At the end of the spring, I heard devastating news of a cyclone that hit the entire continent of Myanmar. The cyclone claimed tens of thousand lives and left millions homeless. Pastor David Lian kept sending me pictures of the catastrophe and asked prayer support as well as monetary aid for relief work. CMI USA responded to his call and graciously donated $1,000. Still my heart was burdened so much at hearing the seemingly endless need for relief work. MUST (Myanmar Undergraduate School of Theology), run by Pastor David, started a new semester in June, but the number of registrants dropped by 70% compared to last year. The reason was that the students’ families could not afford the meager amount of tuition and they wanted to use their children for financial resource.

2007 Myanmar Mission Report
(Presented at the CMI East Regional Conference, Aug. 10th-12th, 2007)
--by Missionary Peter Chung
Key Verse: “During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, ‘Come over to Macedonia and help us’” (Acts 16:9)
My mission trip to Myanmar was initiated by Pastor David Lian who is the president of MUST (Myanmar Undergraduate School of Theology) in Yangon, Myanmar. He was one of my classmates at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. During seminary life together with him, we developed a good friendship with each other. When I met him this time again, he confessed that my small gifts to him during his seminary life (bags of rice, Ramyun, Soy sauce, Kimchi and Bulgogi) were a great help for him when he was eating only one meal a day due to financial difficulties. After he went back to his country, he kept sending me emails quite regularly. Around Christmas season last year, he asked me if I could come and hold a Bible seminar for his seminary students. At first I was not sure. While I was praying at the end of the year, however, Acts 16:9 struck me and I was inspired that it was the Lord’s will to help them with the word of God. I made a decision and informed him that I will come to him by any means in 2007. The seminar was set for me from June 28th through 30th.
