I WROTE MY THESIS ON CHIN CULTURE

In April of 1999, I went to Kachin State to start training and working as a missionary. I don’t know the connection exactly, but the missionary project I worked with was supported by an organization in Washington, D.C. I stayed in Kachin State until the end of the year.

The following year, I went through southern Chin State and was a missionary in four different townships. During that time, I converted one villager. Most of my experiences at that time were difficult, and I encountered many problems. Some villages warmly welcomed me, but in other villages, they didn’t allow any Christians to enter the village. The villagers would trick us and give us the wrong directions to another village. Sometimes we’d have to sleep in the forest because of that.

I thought I was poor at preaching, and so I decided to study deeper and pursue a bachelor’s course in theology. I first studied for a LTh—License of Theology—for four years. When I finished the LTh course, I studied for another year at a seminary in Rangoon Division. There, I wrote my thesis on Chin culture. After a total of five years, I finally received my bachelor’s degree in February 2006.
