Dear Friends and Prayer Partners:.
The barefoot doctors and Abraham, one of our translators, arrived in Chiang Mai, Thailand from Myanmar (Burma) on Saturday to continue Bible and medical training. It is so wonderful to see them again.
The students will have one week of Bible training starting from Monday January 14 - 18 with Bible teachers Paul Bergquam and Dan Radke from the US and Simon Percy from the UK getting them ready for more advanced medical training they are about to receive in coming weeks.
What a tremendous joy it was to welcome the students and Bible teachers to the Kalnin Center. The students come from seven different states/divisions and 10 different language groups in Burma. Most of them live in villages with inadequate medical care.
The idea and theme for this ministry is taken directly from Luke 9:6 where Jesus’ disciples were sent out “from village to village preaching the Gospel and healing people everywhere.” Frontier Labourers for Christ (FLC) now has many Barefoot Doctors scattered around in villages in the most remote parts of Burma and also in some of the towns and cities.
Thank you very much for your prayers,
