Testimony of Conversion and Call to Ministry

My name is Judah A. I was born on May 14, 1995 to a Roman Catholic family. My grandparents believed in and worshiped the Akha tradition. Similarly, my parents believed in animism and converted to Roman Catholicism due to various circumstances. I have an older brother, an older sister, and a younger sister. I am the third of my siblings. I was raised in the Roman Catholic church until the age of eight. The place where I lived is a mountainous area in eastern Shan State, Myanmar. When I was young, in the mountain region education was bad, a lot of poverties. There is almost no Christian preference. I didn’t study at school until I was eight years old. My older brother married to a Christian woman. My older brother was going with his wife to the church. I also followed my older brother and I got my education when I was nine years old. Since then, I have heard the Word of God.

When I was 10 years old, my father died. I was baptized after being saved in 2014 by attending Sunday school. In 2015, I joined Biblical School of Theology and studied the Word of God deeply. As I studied the Word, I have a great burden for the lost souls. The more I read the Word, the burden that I have for lost souls bigger and bigger. the Bible College led us to do evangelism and soul winning. I made a decision to serve God as a missionary in the unreached people group when I was studying in the Bible school.

Paul Hre challenged me to go to Loas, I was eager to go. But Paul went to be with the Lord in 2021, and the situation is getting worse, that’s why I changed my mind not to go to Loas, but reaching the special region people.
