Burmese Heaven

I think I can safely say everyone who attended our joint worship service with the Burmese Church last night received a foretaste of Heaven. When Pastor Ngun spoke of the freedom they did not have, but do have now, we should have stood to sing God Bless America.


We could understand not one word of their baptisms or songs, but their love for Jesus and each other was obvious. The shared Lord's Supper found me in an overwhelming flux of emotions.


Daniel Hood did a great job telling the story of Adoniram Judson, our first USA missionary, who 199 years ago first took the Gospel to Burma. We witnessed last night the ongoing fruits of his labor.
