A Statement for Entrance of Master of Ministry Program
Or
My Reason for Entrance to Master of Ministry
Praise and Thanks the Lord of our Jesus Christ for writing and attachment of my statement to Myanmar Institute of Theology for the entrance to Master of Ministry Program.
In March 2000, I earned Bachelor of Theology from Myanmar Institute of Christian Theology and than I started of my ministry for the mission and glory of the Lord and Savior at Evangelical and Mission Director in Mingaladon Zomi Baptist Church. In that time I have feeling and I need of more study again at Seminary. I decide at study in Myanmar Institute of Theology for the course of Bachelor of Religious Education until March 2002.
In 2004, God call me for his outreach mission in foreign country at Thailand. This is a big challenge for us and I decide to go and start for this challenge. In 2004 March we are started of Grace Church Maesai, Thailand. The border area of Myanmar and Thailand and our mission is outreach for Burmese Migrant peoples. A lot of Burmese peoples are migration into Thailand for their living situation and for shelter and food.
In that time we are a lot of challenge of our theological knowledge for our ministry. Over time I had developed a philosophy of biblical interpretation that allowed more for eisegesis than for exegesis from the scripture. However, even with this perspective, I sensed that I needed to study the word more. Here is the word of God said to me from the book of proverb “blessed is the man that findeth wisdom, and is rich in prudence: The beginning of wisdom, get wisdom, and with all thy possession purchase prudence.” The Lord continually asked those around Him to check out and verify His claim in the scripture. I thank God for choosing me to receive the gift of faith that allows me to recognize the scripture for what it is.
During the time of my ministry we have a lot of ministries in here Maesai, like Early Child Care Development Center, Basic Primary School, Mission Training and Church Planting. Some time I am thinking for further study and but I have no time so study and some time we need to upgrade of our theological education. We want to try to study in here Maesai, Thailand. But in our area, most of the bible seminaries are using in the local Thai language and they don’t have English teaching class and no graduate program.
In today’s environment, I saw a lot of changing. The world is becoming narrow and becoming global village and they called this century and society is knowledge society. Information Technology is essential needs for every peoples and anywhere.
Having made that statement, what is the purpose for study of this program? This is a big challenge for me. Yes I have a good and clear vision and purpose of this question. I want to be upgrade of my theological education and I want to be becoming of the servant of the Lord of our Jesus Christ. Amen

Brother, I am a seminary student in the USA. I don't want to be arrogant. I promise that I am making this suggestion as a humble servant of our Lord, just like you. Have you thought about studying from a school in the United States? Would a seminary like Liberty Theological Seminary let you take your classes over the internet from Thailand? That is what I'm doing, but I'm in America. I think it would let you keep ministering to people there, while letting you get more education at the same time.
I don't mean to push this on you. It's just that I am doing that and it helps me a lot. Please let me know if I can help you somehow, like get information, research, etc.
Hi Dan,
