June 21 - Saturday for December

♪ (Music) ♪

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.
