Urgent prayer for our brother in Myanmar

by Kelly Landrigan | Posted on June 16th in Missionary Updates   No Comments »

Below is an email I just received from Hope Myanmar Partnership. Please be praying for Lincoln’s family…

Hi all.

Lincoln’s father Edward had a heart attack yesterday and is in intensive care. Doctors said that one of the arteries has blocked and his heart rate has been up and down. His BP is down to 70/40.
Lincoln said he was seeming a bit better this morning, so we are hopeful of a recovery.
Please pray for him and his family!
Edward is an amazing Man of God. The following is an excerpt from the HMP website:

Edward’s Story
Edward grew up in Falam - a small village of about 20 houses in the north west of Myanmar. He is the eldest son of a chief man. He went to school in a larger village, about three days walk from home. As a teenager, Edward came to learn about Jesus through missionaries and became the first of his village to become a Christian. Edward moved to Yangon to study the bible at BDS (now Myanmar Institute of Theology). On completing his Bachelor of Theology, he returned to his home as the first of the Falam tribe to hold a Christian Seminary degree. Edward then worked as a bible instructor and went on to be general secretary of the Zomi Baptist Convention and later, the general secretary of the Falam Baptist Association. In 1978, Edward moved with his wife and children to Yangon.

Edwards love for literature and his desire to make Christ known throughout his country led him to translate many works from English into his native tongue. Edward has translated over 400 hymns. He created the first translation of the New Testament in the Falam Chin language. He has since translated many other books into Falam.

Thank you for your prayers and support.

Part of loving our family…

Our missionaries who we support at HBC are part of our church family, even if we don’t get to see them face to face regularly! It’s a great privilege we have to be able to partner with them in their ministry and one of the best ways we can be supporting them is by praying for them!
