Indeed, Ko David S. Lwin, secretary of OBMBC, his jaw was drop when he received the big chunk of check in his hands. Our host church as well as partner in ministry, Oakland First Baptist Church (OFBC) donated ($ 7,420) addition to the previous week donation ($2,650) to the cyclone Nargis victims of Myanmar (Burma) through the OBMBC relief effort fund account for Burma. When Ko David brought check during the service to my hand, I was pulsed for a moment thinking “what is God doing in our midst?” Reflected upon Ko David’s words in email to Pastor Nancy, saying,
“Earlier that day when I was preparing to write the announcement, Pastor Lone made a remark wishing that we reach the total fundraising goal of $ 50,000 by May 31st. I think God must have heard his wish because it didn’t take very long for us to get a big chunk of contribution from you. With your big help, we are well on our way to reach that goal, if not already.”
We are thankful for OFBC’s generosity toward people of Burma. In fact, this is not a first time from OFBC shows kindness and ministering the needs of people of Burma. History of OFBC has shown that this very church sent out two of their missionaries to Burma during 19 century. History repeats itself once again OFBC reaching out the people of Burma.

When I announced the news to the congregation during the service, every one give applause for the glory of God. May the Lord continue to bless OFBC in their mission and ministry here at Oakland and aboard.
