While traveling to an ASAP-supported youth evangelistic camp meeting in a remote area in a restricted access country, I joined the district pastor and his wife for evening worship. Two young neighbors, Phyu Sein,* a Baptist, and Khin Kyi,* a Buddhist, joined us. Intrigued by our trip, they eagerly asked, “Can we come with you?” The next morning, with their parents’ permission, both girls set out on the journey with us.

The trip was grueling—six hours by motorboat, four by truck, and four military checkpoints—but the girls’ cheerful spirits never wavered. Upon arrival, we met youth eager to hear God’s Word. Over three days, Phyu Sein encountered Adventist teachings for the first time and was drawn to the Sabbath and holy living. After hearing about Jesus for the first time, Khin Kyi was touched by the idea of a personal, loving God.

During the program, they immersed themselves in Bible study and were captivated by God’s Word. What began as a curious adventure turned into a heartfelt search for spiritual understanding. 

Upon their return home, I invited Phyu Sein and Khin Kyi to enroll in the Seventh-day Adventist school in a nearby village. They are now attending and growing in their walk with Jesus. 

Thank you for your support of ASAP’s Evangelism Fund, which made it possible for these two young girls to know Jesus.
