Fourteen-year-old Thuya (a pseudonym) longed for an education. Hearing that the teachers at Ayeyarwady Adventist Seminary (AYAS) were good, she asked her Buddhist parents if she might attend school there. Although reluctant to send her to a Christian school, they finally agreed. The most wonderful thing I have learned from this school is that God is our Creator and Jesus is our Savior, Thuya says. I decided to be baptized. Please pray that I will be a good example to my Buddhist family.

Thuya was one of six students baptized recently as a result of the Home Away From Home project in Myanmar, a missionary training program designed to reach Buddhist communities by meeting the educational needs of the youth. This project provides housing, tuition, and medical missionary training to underserved Buddhist youth seeking an education at AYAS. Currently in its third year, the project plans to become self-supporting through the operation of a community English language school and a small store. Your donation will grow this ministry so that many more may receive the gospel.
