THE NUMBER OF CURRENT STUDENTS
There are only 6 students we
can accept for 2014-2015 academic years due to the limit of the funds though16
students appealed us to accept them for theological studies. Indeed, these
students come from the villages, and are different denominations. They really
committed themselves to study at LBTI now. However we have another training
which is focusing on lay people who are from ecumenical churches. We aimed to
welcome 40 participants for this year. This training will begin the same day
with LBTI at Myaukchawgone village in Hmawbi Township, Myanmar. This program is
supported by Lutheran World Federation, Department for Mission and Development,
Geneva 2, Switzerland. Only 20 participants arrived to Yangon, some are still
on the way due to the issues of their ID cards for traveling from the rural
villages bordering to Bangladesh and India. They have to take almost a week to
reach from Paletwa Township to Yangon.
LDURATION
OF THE TRAINING
We run this training course
from June 3rd to February each year to train the people of God to be
the real Disciples of Christ for the End time Harvest in Myanmar.
THE MOOD OF OUR TRAINING
With deepest destination of
ministry, the teachings are taught in Burmese because we have learned that this
factor is the best way to reach out the Gospel to the non-Christians here. We
especially emphasize on mission and church leadership now.

language is known as the global language in this period, we deeply concerned in
