MISSIONS MOMENTSilas and Tracy Lian with Agape Myanmar Mission
Pastor Silas and his wife Tracy, live and minister in the City Heights area of San Diego to the Burmese refugee population. He pastors a congregation of about 50 families that meet at College Ave. Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon. He also meets with smaller groups, holding Bible studies in homes almost every night of the week.
BVBC recently had the opportunity to provide some essential food supplies for this congregation who has been impacted significantly during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. After picking up the supplies that were gathered, Pastor Silas’ sent the following:
Thank you so much for your amazing support and great heart for mission. All our Burmese refugee families are extremely happy and grateful. This is really a blessing in
the midst of difficult time. Cash total received is $425. Thank you so much and God bless you all richly.
What a blessing to be able to not only be a part of a local missionary’s ministry, but to also reach into our own local community!
