Judah Tangshing in Myanmar
We have Myanmar traditional water festival every April and we
had Bible teaching in those days. We hosted over 150 people
in those days. We divided four classes and several teachers
taught different subjects. I taught of Jesus’ resurrection. Khaw
taught how to praise God. Every night we had different kinds
of talent shows and competitions and the seminar went well
and everyone enjoyed it.
We teached Christian Giving in January and February in
Wireless church, and the result is the Wireless church donation
goes up double. We are planning to start some new churches
in Rakhine and Sagaing. It shows us that the Word we preach
does not come back empty. It brings wonderful spiritual fruits.
His Word is living, hallelujah, praise the Lord.
We have some unrest in west part between Rakhine Buddhist
and Muslims and in central part of Myanmar between Burmese
Buddists and Muslims. Some were killed by these unrests and
many victims are in temporary camps. Please pray for us that
we can share the gospel to the victims there that they can hear
the truth.
The orphans we take care are doing well and we will get some
new orphans this year also. The school will start in June and
they are excited for the next new school year.
Khaw, I and two of our four children (Tangseing and Pesan)
are planning to come and visit the supporters there (States)
and we hope we can see the supporters as much as we can so
that we can share what God is doing in Myanmar and to praise
God together. Please pray for us that we can get visas as we
pray and plan. And please pray for the ministry of Myanmar as
we leave here for some weeks too.
Thanks again for all things you have done for us. May the
Lord shower His heavenly blessings upon you richly.
Love in Christ, Judah and Khaw.

Ministry
Involvement
One of our Local Missions that we
partner with is in need of some people
to help with their ministry on
occasion.
The Ruth House in Umatilla is a
shelter for women in crisis and does a
fantastic job helping women restore
their lives and reenter society. The
Ruth House has a Thrift Shop that is
used to help support their ministry.
They are in need of some people to
volunteer a couple hours a month in
the thrift shop. If you have some time
and would like to make a difference in
our community by serving, please
contact Rebecca Randall at 352-4553021 or call our church office and we
will help get you connected.

Thank You for VBS!
Kingdom Rock was a fun theme for our kids as well
as our adults as they were learning to stand strong
for God thru crafts, games, Bible lessons, music
and even during snack time. Everyone had a great
time!
Brian Palmer led this year’s VBS with a great
number of volunteers who we thank for giving of
their time. There was a lot of work put into the
excellent “Kingdom” props and decorations in the
Welcome Center and stage area of the church as
well as in the classrooms. Thank you to Brian and
our volunteers!
There were 74 children between those from LECC
and from the community. We had some good
connections to some new families so please pray
that we can continue to build a relationship with
them.

On Saturday, August 3rd we will be hosting our 2nd Annual Back 2 School Blitz for the families in our
community. We will be inviting families to come out for this event to prepare their kids for the upcoming
school year. While the families are at our event they can take advantage of free haircuts, eye exams, sports
physicals, and school supplies.
We anticipate that there will be hundreds of kids at this event; therefore, we desperately need your help in
donating items for this ministry. Here are a couple ways you can help for this event.
1. We need school supplies donated. We need Markers, Glue Sticks, Perforated Notebooks, Pencils,
Folders with pockets, and Crayons. We have placed a sample of each of these items in the lobby for
you to look at. You can drop off donated items in the church lobby at any time.
2. Volunteer to help. We will have many different stations at this event ranging from serving food to
inflatable bounce houses. You can sign up for a station in the church lobby.
3. If you feel like you cannot make it to the store to buy supplies or come out on the day of the event,
but would like to contribute you may give financially to support this event. You can earmark any
gifts to be used to help purchase supplies or to offset the food expense.
4. Help with advertising this event. We are creating an event page on Facebook and we would love to
have you “like” it and share it on your Facebook page. Social Media is a great outlet to invite others
to this event. Help us spread the word through social media.
Thank you so much for your partnership as we serve our community.
