After a series of some unfortunate events, Joe has found favor in a family by coming along side of them and walking with them through these hard times. Aung Thian (Father) and Aye Win (Mother) realized that they needed help raising their teenagers and asked Joe to step in. Their family is Buddhist, but they were so desperate for help that they told Joe that he can teach Christ in their home and gave their blessing for their kids to accept Christ and be baptized if it means that they will be good and have a change of heart. Hser Nay (daughter, 16 years old) and Htoo Nay (son, 14 years old, who spent a year in Keystone Academy) were open for Joe to lead them in a Discovery Bible Study and even invited some of their friends to discover who the Jesus really is. This is happening in their home so their whole family is hearing the truth that Joe is teaching from Scripture, so it has the potential to change the whole family! After 3 meetings, they were impacted by Mark 1:15 where Jesus said, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the Gospel." They broke that verse down many times to see what Jesus is truly saying here, and after hearing the Gospel on Easter weekend, they both prayed and asked God to be King of their lives! Please be praying for Hser Nay and Htoo Nay as they continue learning what it means to live in the Kingdom. of God.
