By Sara, indigenous missionary to Kanaan People

This family was driven out of the Kanaan area because they accepted Christ.  My husband (Kong Dee) and I visited this family, and they were very happy to see us again after so many years.
The confessed what they thought of my husband. They said when they were leaving their village, the family was angry at Kong Dee then but then they remembered: “O, because of Kong Dee we were able to know the true God, we should not be angry with him.”

They did not know where they were going, they just traveled day after day. When they arrived to a village, they wanted to settle there, butthe village people would not accept them because they were told not accept them. They continued to travel until they arrived to another village. They did not know anyone, but they found a new wooden empty house. The family decided to spend the night there. The next day they saw nobody coming. So they stayed there over one year!

During that time they got acquainted with an elderly man U nwe.  U nwe often gave them food. The family was told by someone else that 8 acres of rice field was for sell for 2 million kyats ($2500). The family wanted to purchase it but didn’t have the money. They discussed with U nwe they they will save money to buy rice field, but U nwe said No,   So the family thought “He is old enough to give advice, if he says no, we won’t try.”

The one dayU nwe brought the village head. Together they took them to a place and showed them to work for 10,000 kyats ($12.50) per acre. Since then the family worked on the land. Now they 0wn 10 acres of rice field. They said to us, “The Lord has been good to us in a new place. When we were in our own village we worked so hard but never enough, but here we work less and we get more. I remember you (Sara) said that Abraham lefthis home but the Lord bless him more.”

Their faith becamestronger, and they can even share the good news with others. They are
well accepted in the new place.
