Legacy Letter June 2016

Dear Beloved FAITHFUL Brethren and FAITHFUL Fellow Laborers,

PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR HIS LOVE, MERCIES, and KINDNESSES TOWARD ALL OF US!

Why do we start our letter to all of you in this way? Because Leon and I have not written to you for over six months; and yet you have continued to be blessed by God to remain constant in your prayers, service, and sacrifices for the work of God in the areas He has given us to serve.

25 January 2018 – Dear Brethren and Fellow Laborers, Over the winter break,SengAung, our pastor in Jawk Taing, Myanmar, and his family went to NaMawn in Kachinland. HtooGay, a Legacy grad (who is also finishing up his last year in high school), went along. There we have a small group of brethren of which some are also family to SengAung. It’s quite a long trip. Here is what Seng Pan wrote to me: “Thaungoo to Mandalay 8 hours, Mandalay to Kachin state Hopin town (18 hours by train), Hopin to NaMawn 1 hour by motorcycles. It takes two nights and two days long. We can go by bus too, more quick one and half day long but, more expensive.”

Hello Friends and Fellow-Laborers, -PASSOVER AND UNLEAVENED BREAD- It is that time of year again with Passover just around the corner. It seems to my family here in Thailand that we have been under constant attack by Satan. We have all had bouts with the flu—and not just any flu, but a particularly bad strain that seems to stay with you for a long time. One after the other (each of our grandchildren, our son, his wife, Utaiwan Han, Gloria, and me), we have fallen ill with fever, coughing, and sinus infections. I came down with pneumonia and was in the hospital for five days. I am back home now and trying to regain my strength, so I have no problems when we go to Myanmar (Burma) for the spring holy days…

Dear Beloved Brethren and Fellow Laborers, 8 April 2021 – This legacy letter is long overdue! We are now past the days of Unleavened Bread! Thanks be to God for all His blessings! All our brethren were able to keep the Passover and Unleavened Bread, despite all the horrors that are escalating by the military coup. In Jawk Taing, pastor SengAung told Leon and me on the phone that 17 were gathered and that only one could not be there, but will at the 2nd Passover in a month. A few in other areas kept it at home with the ceremony notes given in advance. Our church compound seems to be the most peaceful at this time. We pray that this blessing will continue.
