Renewing our Partnership with Myanmar

As part of its mission to support leadership development, Faith2Share recently provided a small grant for Hung Ling and his daughter Lisa from Myanmar to attend the Church Multiplication Connection conference held in Singapore in January 2024. The event, organized by the Centre for Global Missions in Singapore brought together church planters, scholars, and Christians from across Asia. The conference allowed attendees to learn from the experiences of church multiplication efforts in various contexts in countries such as Thailand and Hong Kong.

Without a small level of support from Faith2Share, Hung Ling was finding it difficult to attend the conference in-person. In follow-up correspondence, he shared how much he valued and learned from being able to participate directly in the sessions. The photos he shared shared captured a strong sense of collegiality and connection with fellow attendees and presenters at the conference.

The ability for Hung Ling and Lisa to participate is significant. Christians make up just 8% of the population in Myanmar, and in recent years have encountered increasing tensions and tighter restrictions on their faith.
