Yangon, Myanmar's largest city, is home to more than 7 million people,
each carrying their own hopes and struggles.
Among them is a young Adventist named December.
She was filled with joy when she discovered
the Seventh day Adventist message and was baptized.
However, she soon encountered challenges in her faith journey.
December lived in the countryside where there were limited job opportunities.
To support herself and her family, she had to move to the city for work.
There she found that many companies demanded work on Sabbath.
December found herself torn between supporting her family and honoring her faith.
Adventist young people have difficulty in looking for a job.
And aside from that,
when we did this survey,
we found out that many of our young people still
from the province come come into the city,
and yet we have never seen them in the church.
Because once they got a job, it is difficult for them to have a Sabbath off.
Given these challenges, it's clear that a concrete solution is needed.
More and more, people are coming to the the city,
and it is very crucial for us as a Seventh day Adventist Church to have a center
that will influence or that will impact positive life,
that will bring hope to the the city dwellers in Yangon.
The center will help youth find jobs where they won't have to work on Sabbath.
Additionally, the center will train and prepare missionaries.
And as for the city dwellers,
they will come just to have
an authentic encounter with our savior Lord Jesus Christ. With this vision in place,
we ask for your support in prayer.
Please pray for the project that we will have in this Myanmar Union mission,
for the success of the project, and also
for the success of bringing people to Jesus.
This quarter,
a portion of the thirteenth Sabbath offering will
help construct an urban center of influence in Yangon, Myanmar.
This center will provide training for youth and offer non believers an opportunity
to experience God in a transformative way.
If this project is truly materialized, the Adventist's youth will be closer to God.
And at the same time, they will be exposed to the outside world,
but they will have a stronger tie to the church as a family.
Thank you so much for supporting the thirteenth Sabbath offering for Myanmar.
