BURMA - 4,700 Buddhist Monks Kneel to Accept Christ as Their Savior
Source: Christian Aid, Missions Insider Report, March 18, 2008
In the midst of [a season of] darkness Buddhist monks and nuns began inviting Christian missionaries to come and share the gospel in the privacy of their monasteries. The majority of these monks are from the dominant Bama people, normally very resistant to the gospel.
One of the ministries supported by Christian Aid sent this report:
"4,700 Buddhist monks were led to Christ through our ministry. It appears that the Holy Spirit had urged these monks and nuns to call our evangelists to come and share the gospel of hope and love. After several intense discussions, close to 80 percent of the monks present in each of the monasteries raised their hands to accept Christ, and then kneeled down to pray and receive Christ as their Lord and Savior.
"Baptisms are being done discreetly - no more than three at a time for the sake of the safety of the converts as well as our workers."
