Myanmar is 83.6% unreached, but the church is growing. Our partners are passionate about church planting, supporting local pastors, evangelism and training. Their seminary prepares men and women who are called to ministry. Skills training provides an opportunity to disciple while also teaching life skills that can help with employment.
Myanmar
The Need
Myanmar (formerly Burma) is a Southeast Asian nation of more than 100 ethnic groups bordering India, Bangladesh, China, Laos and Thailand. Yangon (formerly Rangoon), the country's largest city, is home to bustling markets, numerous parks and lakes, and the towering, gilded Shwedagon Pagoda, which contains Buddhist relics and dates to the 6th century.
