After about 18 hours of traveling, being harassed by taxi drivers and spending the night in the Bangkok airport I have finally arrived in Burma. It is very impoverished and underdeveloped compared to any other capitol city that I have been to in Asia. It seems to be cut off from the rest of the world. It wasn't until after I arrived that I found out that there are not ATMs or Western Union here. Having only $40 in Thailand Bahts in my wallet this proves to be a problem, but there may be other solutions to this problem.
I am very excited to be here. As the plane descended to land, I looked out over the Burmese countryside and I could already sense that I would be coming back to this nation some day. I can already feel a passion and love for the Burmese people developing within me, and despite the language barrier I find the people here to be very friendly.
Only a few hours after I arrived in the city I met up with my team and we attended the Sunday service of our host church. I was impressed by the spiritual atmosphere of the church and despite the fact that I only had three hours of sleep the previous night I could feel the power and presence of God surge through my body. We introduced ourselves and Putri, the Indonesian on our team, preached an excellent message about the effectual, fervent prayer of the righteous man. Afterwards I was given the opportunity to ministry prophetically to the corporate church and held a healing line where we saw people healed of pains in their body, sicknesses, migraines and other unnamed illnesses.
We have begun! This is just the tip of the iceberg. We have established a foothold and we expect to continue forward in boldness, love and in supernatural power! Burma you will never be the same again.

I taught four days in one Bible school before transferring and teaching in a different Bible school. On my last day in that school I taught about healing. I used scripture to explain to the students how to heal the sick in conjunction with evangelism. After building a sufficient scriptural foundation I began to demonstrate. I called all those who had an infirmity in their body to come to the front. I laid hands on the first person and rebuked the infirmity, and that person was healed. I then began to have the person who was healed to lay hands on the next person and do the same thing. I continued to do this until everyone was able to participate, and praise God many people were healed! A man was healed of Malaria, a girl was healed of a heart disorder and difficulty breathing, another girl was healed of a reoccurring problem in her throat, and many others were healed of pains and problems in their body! Of course after this teaching I had someone who wanted me to pray that she could be taller, but she was already of normal height.
I taught in the next Bible school for three days. I trained them in healing, prophecy and other subjects to help equip them. Once again I had several people ask me to prophesy over them after the prophecy teaching. The teaching on healing was very successful. Two women were healed of ovary problems, the pastor was healed of a headache and neck pains, and a woman was healed of a back problem.
All of the students who were healed
This woman was healed of a back pain and she can now touch her toes
You may wonder why I am teaching in Bible schools and not doing street evangelism and crusades. In Myanmar (Burma), Christian activity is greatly restricted. In many churches and provinces foreigners are not allowed to do ministry. If they are caught ministering, nothing will be done to the foreigner, but the pastor and church members will be thrown in jail, have their church taken away or asked to pay a large fine. So in order to avoid those problems I discretely trained local believers in secret Bible schools. My goal was to impart into the Burmese believers so that they can impact their nation long after I am gone.
Luke 10:9 "Heal the sick who are there and tell them,
'The kingdom of God is near you.’"
