ATM Building Project – ATM Base

We are now in raining season but the building is still going on and we just want to thank all who have stood with us, prayed with us and helped to raise funds for this building project.

We believe we will see it completed by the end of this year and we are so excited to re-open the school next year.


Tribal Church Ministry – Mae Su Ki

On May the 15th a Church that has been planted in the village of one of our former students, was dedicated and had their first service together where many people came to celebrate the completion of the church building and worship together in one place for the first time.

The testimony of this village is incredible – 5 years ago our ATM team and students along with a dear missionary friend of ours went to evangelise and outreach to this village. What they came across was a village full of fear, who worshiped evil spirits, trees, different animals and rocks, sacrificed their livestock and built alters where they worshiped these evil spirits that had been tormenting them.

 

When our team arrived and started ministering the love and presence of God came upon many in the village seeing many freed from demonic spirits, freed from fear, and many healed from disease and sickness. One woman in particular had been crippled for many years and had to be carried to go anywhere but was fully healed and whilst being prayed for got up and started walking and threw away her walking stick and is walking to this day.

 

The whole village was touched by the power of God and 2 young people came back with our team to start studying the Bible at ATM. These two students have since graduated and are a part of our team. Mali (Mary) and David (Aik) came from this village and are now serving the Lord along side us. David's father also went to Bible school and has come back to pastor the church that has been planted in their village.

They now have an incredible ministry to their village and the other villages around them which are in the same situation they were in.

Please keep them in your prayers and praise God for what he is doing there.

Children of the Border Project

Last January ATM visited and outreached to many children in a remote village in Om Goi district. It was about a 6 hour drive up into the mountains and we spent time and ministered in a children's home of about 40 children and were able to give much needed blankets and warm clothes to each of them.

The children are also needing stationary and books for their schooling.

This is really heartbreaking to hear and we feel that we need to do something about it and bring them aid and help and support as soon as possible.

As part of the Children of the Border Project we want to be able to support this children's home on a regular monthly basis but also help them set up a self sustaining project that can go towards their needs for food for the children and even a regular income.

 

 

After talking with the couple running the home we have decided to help them start a pig farm and possibly buy land close by where they can grow vegetables and have other livestock. They also need a kitchen as they have been cooking and eating outside and this is difficult when it is raining and the area has often flooded.

This will be a great long-term blessing and support for them which can also be a back up if they are short of finances. This will also support them to be able to help more children in their area as their situation becomes more stable.

We plan to travel there with a team this Friday the 1st of July to take some supplies that they are in need of and funds and to start planning the building of this pig farm.

Two of our team will be helping the couple in the actual building work of the pigs house and kitchen and we will be visiting regularly working together to see this project completed in the next few months.

The couple has also expressed their desire to teach and share the Gospel in their area and have invited our team and students to come and outreach with them to surrounding villages. We share a one-ness of heart with them and their vision and need your help to continue to support them.

If you would like to help towards this children's home in Om Goi - please contact Karenna Laklem at Karenna@asiantribalministries.org

We are always encouraged by you all and pray God's abundant blessings and on you, your churches and your families.

With love from all at ATM
