Good morning, Pastor Mei;
It seems to me your disciples are new believers. Please keep it simple. As you encourage a new believer to study the Bible start off with the book form, first.
Amazon does have Bibles in Sino-Tibetan and Burmese-Myanmar Bible (Burmese Edition) but they are expensive.
The Apple store has the download version of the Myanmar Bible and it appears to be free. This may be your best option.
As Dave F. suggested there are book forms but it will take some research on the internet.
I have a question and it's important, Mei. How many students do you have in your Bible study class?
I have to leave this morning but will be back tonight.
God bless you, Pastor.
Hi pastor
bobinfaith , I hope you are doing well. Thank you so much always there for suggesting in this platform.
I am trying to understand that our context is different that you all don't get me yet
, hopefully.
It is not a new believers, they have years of being believers but they are in very remote areas. No access internet, live in jungles, unable to read, just a farm workers. The App will not work for them, since they don't have a phone or they don't know how to use it. I have Myanmar Bible, but it is the whole book, but I need just a short study notes or lesson.
Let me explain why I wanted it and you might say, why I am not finding it from the internet since it is variety of sources from the internet.
----------------
My ministry is a house church planting, I don't have physically building yet that I run the service at rent house and you might know me last time I gave my prayer request. I lead my own ministry as
Living Stream Ministry Myanmar - under this ministry name, I run a house church. I provide sunday school note to churches across Myanmar, whoever needs it as
Sunday School ministry. I translate gospel tracts and printed out hard copies and then distribute to believers, churches, individuals and share the gospel in market place, hospitals, on street, bus etc.. as
Literature ministry.
The main reason now I wanted say is, there are many churches in remote villages, rural areas where no internet, no bus, no high way, no hospitals, no proper education. The places or villages are near the jungles or a big forest. They people are very poor. The pastor or deacons are very poor. They did farm for their living and only rest on Sunday. These people has less understanding of the Word of God. The pastor cannot explain everything how to be a good Christian life in just an hour service on Sunday. Therefore, I have my burden and concerned for so long. I have the vision to reach out them. It is not near in Yangon where I am living, of course.
So get to the point, most are illiterate or unable to read properly, but they understand Burmese. Recently, I prayed to find bible audio players which we can listen Myanmar Bible in audio. I found it. So what I need is, a simple study notes, they will gather in group or in a family. Someone who can read will lead, it will be deacons or pastor. Or in the church before the service, they will listen in the audio players, it will be 2 to 5 chapters, then the leader will look at the bible study lesson or notes, then he will ask to the audience how do you understand or what do you hear it? Suppose, they listened from Genesis chapter 1-3, on chapter 1, you will see the consistency of creation orderly, in chapter 2 you will see Man and Women in the garden of Eden, chapter 3 The fall of Man and, the judgement.
The leader will ask them orderly to them that how do they understand and what is the first chapter talk about. or what is meant by breath of life to Man and so on.
Therefore, what I need is just a simple like ABC foundation which is step by step and chapter by chapter study lesson notes. It is not a whole course study, text by text or words by words. I need it chapter by chapter, which included from Genesis to Revelation. For example it is like:
The book of Genesis
- Short introduction of the book
- The main theme
- Chapter 1
* short explanations
* Questions and Answers
- Chapter 2
* short explanations
* Questions and Answers
- Chapter 3
* short explanations
* Questions and Answers
The whole structure looks like this and it may be not exactly this, but I am just trying to explain it. And I don't want a very big book which cost more. I want it to translate so I prefer it above 120-150 pages between. And this I call it as
outreach ministry. I hope you might get me and if someone who can recommend me good books, not from the site or commentaries, then I truly appreciate it. since you are living in big country, why not you purchase it and get copyright for us
.
We are happy to use it and for His kingdom. I am truly asking this since I don't find good one on the internet. Thank you everyone! Be bless!
. It is not a commentary, the commentaries are too heavy books usually and I knew Matthew Henry or others.. But those are thousand of pages.
