  • A different point of view on the Good Samaritan by Pastor Morris Liana

    We had a visiting pastor from Myanmar (Burma) last Friday at Bible study.

    Kids from La Pyae Wun Orphanage wearing thanakha (These photos were taken during Myanmar Youths in Action's 2nd Small Education Program) Many had been asking me what these kids have been wearing on their faces, so I thought I should write a full explanation. It is something called "than…

  • Mandalay (2008-2009)

    During the past few days of last week, I have been trying to upload some photos that I've taken on my trip to Mandalay and Pyin Oo Lwin in Dec 2008- Jan 2009.
