Myanmar

Ram & Novel Lian
Myanmar apostolic team leaders

Because of your prayer support, God is always good to the DOVE Myanmar churches. Please continually pray for us to see the glory of God in Myanmar. By the grace of God, we just finished the ministers seminar for our local churches.

  • Our vision is to have 100 DOVE churches in our Myanmar network by 2030 and also start DOVE Myanmar Mission churches in Bangkok, Thailand.
  • The government has ordered conscription laws for ages of 18-35 for our young people in Myanmar. Many do not want to fight against our own people; so they are fearful and flee to other countries.

Please pray for:

  • printing song books (2,000 copies) in 2024, because it is necessary for our house churches. There is no digital PowerPoint or TV system available in homes where house churches meet;
  • the nation of Myanmar to have peace and justice as soon as possible in the future and the Myanmar refugees in neighboring countries
  • revival in the churches of Myanmar in the midst of many challenges we encounter
  • provision to build buildings for DOVE Myanmar School and DOVE Myanmar National Headquarters in the land we bought last year
  • God’s protection and financial provision for the leaders and pastors of DOVE Myanmar churches.

South Pacific

Steve Prokopchak
South Pacific apostolic point person

We are asking the Lord for new, next-generation leaders to be raised up in or sent to the South Pacific. We are believing for growth through reaching the lost and those desiring to connect with DOVE’s vision and values. We are asking the Lord for open doors and new church plants. We are excited about Dave and Alissa Smith serving as missionaries in New Zealand.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Psalm 19:14 NIV
