1 Dear brothers and sisters, Greetings to you from Lazarus and Acha on behalf of MACM workers. By the grace of God, we are approaching to the end of the Fall semester of YCCS. The China border training center began its 2015 training program on June 1st and concluded on August 28th. The graduation of it will be held in the next August in The Tanai Bible training school began on September 4th. We are also planning to form YCCS Alumni Association as soon as possible, possibly in October. We want to know how many YCCS graduates are serving the Lord and what progresses they are making for the Kingdom of God so that we may be able to pray for them. The minister of foreign affairs from the Nujiang prefecture in China visited YCCS. YCCS students intertained them with Lisu traditional dance. Update on YCCS As reported to you before, YCCS makes the higher enrollment at this Fall. We enjoy the most exuberant semester with these vibrant and enthusiastic students. We are also planning to visit and interview the YCCS graduates who minister in Yangon in order to learn more about their ministries. We plan to record video and pictures, and will report it to you. We will do this in November after the rainy season is gone. We will also tried to contact as many graduates as possible in different localities both in domastic and abroad. The Fish digital sound studio, the protools HD recording system is now ready for recording. A special Training Program for YCCS Teachers Currently, we run YCCS with mostly part-time teachers. In the future, All of the instructors of YCCS must be full-timed teachers who will have graduated from Christian unisersities in USA either in Master or Doctoral degrees. In order to implement this plan, we are sending some of the top graduates of YCCS to the two Lincoln Christian University as well as Central Christian College of the Bible either in the Bachelor or the Master or Doctoral programs. Pehan Dakum has been chosen as the first YCCS graduate coming to Lincoln Christian University at this Fall. He will be studying in the Doctor of Ministry program for two years. He has been accepted by LCU in the program and has also been issued American visa. He is now on the airplane and arriving in LCU on September Lazarus meeting with the channel manager of the Skynet TV for broadcasting Lisu songs. Peham left Yangon on Sept. 7th and arriving in USA on 8th. He will be studying in doctor of ministry program.

2 8th. YCCS s collaboration with LCU in respect is ongoing program for training full-time teachers for YCCS. We also plan the same special training program with the Central Christian College of the Bible in Moberly, Missouri. This program is designed for some of the top YCCS students graduated in the Bachelor of Theology program. That will be two years program at CCCB for another Bachelor degree. We plan to use the graduates from CCCB Construction of the men and women s dorms of the Tanai Bible training center was begun. to be teachers at Tanai Bible training school and China border training Center and missionaries.

The program involved competition in singing, drama, interpreted songs, scripture recitation, and comedy. The four divided teams among YCCS students by the names of Jerusalem, Macedonia, Canaan, Galilee had competed. The championship of the 2015 was won by Macedonia. We have discovered a veriety of God-given gifts and talents among the YCCS students through the contest. The dorms are to be built of wooden frames with iron sheet roofing and bamboo walls. Recording Studio By the grace of God, the opening and dedication service of the recording studio was held on August 22nd. It has been three years since the recording service was suspended due to our focus on the YCCS campus construction. The current recording system we have set up is a pro tools HD recording system. We thank you, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts to those who have financially contributed to the cause of this good quality recording studio. Currently we are recording praise and worship album in Lisu and Burmese language. We will send a sample to you when we are ready. China Border Training Center Isaiah reported us that the training program was successfully conducted from June through August with 140 students, the largest enrollment within these 12 years. 103 students of them are from China and the rest from Myanmar side. Isaiah also reported us that they are greatly blessed with the new facilities, i.e., new dorms, classrooms and office rooms.

Tanai Bible Training School As reported to you before, Tanai is located in the northwest of Kachin state. MACM has been planting churches in the area since To this date, MACM has established 20 churches in Tanai and also established Tanai Bible training school (TBTS) based on the 20 churches in the area. Currently, we are focusing on the construction of the two dorms, i.e., the women dorm and men s dorm of the TBTS. To this date, the men s dorm has been completed so CBTC s training program also includes guitar lessons teaching the students how to play guitar. The CBTC students practicing physical exercise. nearly 2,000 houses had been destroyed by landslides, and 6,640 people were now living in 13 relief camps. Some of the houses have cracked walls, and some are tilted and some are fallen down. According to the Myanmar news paper, about 140,000 displaced Muslim Rohingya in Rakhine state now live in state-sponsored camps. Nearly 1,400 schools across the country been closed because of floods. More than 217,000 people across the country affected by floods and mudslides. About 426,000 acres of farmland have been damaged, and 56,000 acres have been destroyed. The victims need provision of food, emergency health services, water and sanitation assistance, shelter, mosquito nets, blankets and other relief items. Our first relief work was undertaken at one of the flood affected villages in Irrawaddy division. We were there at the village on Sept. 4th and 5th. We distributed 2880 liters (1 liter bottles) of drinking water, 120 cans of sardines, 120 liters of cooking oil and 240 boxes of dried noodles. Each family received 24 bottles of drinking water, 1 bottles of cooking oil, two boxes of dried noodles and 1 can of sardines. 12 persons of YCCS students volunteered in the relief work.
