Tattooed Ladies [David’s 2nd Photo Blog from Myanmar]

Our first stop here in southern Chin State is the town of Kamplet, and waiting for us upon our arrival were two indigenous missionaries whom Heaven's Family has supported for a number of years. One of them is Stephen Paing Bu, who was born in a remote village in this region. He is working in a total of 30 villages, most of which are (or were) predominantly Buddhist or animist.

My Mom Was a Witchdoctor

Pastor Paul Fang has baptized many believers in China, but none more important than the one he recently performed.
