Legacy Letter November 2012

30 August 2017 – Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, This is an emergency letter appealing for you to help us here at Legacy in Thailand and Myanmar. The Bible tells me: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7) So, I am asking, seeking, and knocking. Our donations have dramatically dropped over the past three months. Monthly donations have dropped to 40% of what we usually receive. I am not ashamed to say that we are really hurting. We have an office to run in Chiang Mai with employees, and we send funds to Myanmar on a monthly basis to conduct the ministry and sponsor student’s education in both high school and university. There is also food, clothing, and transportation expenses for them. A 60% drop in monthly donations is devastating. We cannot sustain the Work here on that. We were bare bones before.

16 June 2016, Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, Baal worship is coming back to modern day Israel. In ancient Israel, Baal was a replacement for Yahweh, the true God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It wasn’t that Yahweh disappeared from the culture of Israel; it was that Baal was worshiped as provider and sustainer instead of Yahweh. Baal was considered more powerful and became the supreme deity of the Canaanites and ultimately, Israel. Some ancient texts show that Baal wanted to overcome the Creator El and become king of the gods. Sound familiar?

Dear Friends and Fellow laborers, Graduation at Legacy is always a hectic—but fun—time. Our volunteer teachers and students must finish up their classes, take finals, and practice speeches, and chorale for the graduation ceremony. This year we had FIVE graduates: Hser Nay Htoo, Hser Nay Paw, Hser Nay Say, Moe Palel, and Nay Blu Htoo. In attendance were students’ family and friends, and other guests.

Pentecost – The Meaning of the Two Loaves, Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, Beginning the day after the weekly Sabbath between the two high holy days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, a special ceremony was conducted by the high priest according to the rules given to the Old Covenant church of God. It was called the wave sheaf offering.
