Burmese churches gather for combined Easter service

by | 07 Apr 2016

The Church of the Nazarene is reaching out to Burmese immigrants living in Thailand through home churches.

Nearly 70.2 percent (1.5 million) of Burmese citizens who reside outside Myanmar live in Thailand, according to report by Australian AID.

For the first time, four newly formed Burmese home churches, Bangphli, Bangpla, Onnut 39, and Onnut 80, gathered to celebrate Easter. The celebration was held at Bangkok First Church of the Nazarene.

“It was great because it was the first time in 16 months that we were able to gather our small house churches made up of people from the nation of Myanmar in one place,” said Bill Kwon, Myanmar country coordinator.  “Although it was only four churches meeting this time, I praise God for His presence in our midst. We wish to invite other home churches like Nontaburi, Mahachai, and Phetburi for future gatherings. I also offer special thanks to Rev. Lamp Tanongsak and his church members for hosting us.”
