Christmas in the GATE community in India is a time Christmas in the GATE community in India is a time to reflect Christ’s love by caring for those in need and celebrating with joy, especially among children.

“We celebrate Christmas along with our poor Christian members who are not going out. We buy and give new clothes to the gypsy community people and also to widows and abandoned people. During the Christmas season gypsy people eat and drink special food. Many of them come closer to Jesus, especially our gypsy children. They share about Christmas celebrations in their classrooms.” -Priya*

For the ministry leaders throughout South Asia and For the ministry leaders throughout South Asia and Myanmar, Christmas is not only a time to celebrate, but also an opportunity to share the hope of the Gospel with their communities. 

“Throughout the Christmas season, we held outreach meetings at various crossroads. On the eve of Christmas, we presented the message of Christ's birth and the redemption that comes with it. We held a Christmas outreach gathering over three days in three separate locations. In addition, we hosted a Christmas stage show at our location in the main market. We, together with our church members, presented the gospel via music, dance, and miming, as well as the Christmas gospel message with the people.” ~Manu*, Andaman Islands
We are celebrating with Priya and her Gypsy and Tr We are celebrating with Priya and her Gypsy and Tribal Empowerment (GATE) ministry this week: 

“Good news! There has been an official announcement that [a community] of gypsy families will receive their Patta papers [land ownership papers] from the Honourable Chief Minister this coming Saturday. All 148 families are included. This has been a long-time dream for us, and now it’s finally coming true. I thank God for all His strength and blessings upon our tribal families. I am truly happy and grateful to serve as a minister for our people. I will be taking some of our gypsy families to the function on Saturday. Please keep us in your prayers and pray that everything goes smoothly.”
Christmas with Pastor Thang* in Myanmar “We deco Christmas with Pastor Thang* in Myanmar 

“We decorate our house, and we have a lot of Christmas singing. There's a song called “I miss my home during Christmas.” [The children] love to sing it, because they are away from home. I remember in the past, when things were more open, carol singing in the car. Sometimes the police stop us, and they ask, where are you going? If we say, for carol singing or Christmas, they say, just go, go. Even though they don't believe about Jesus Christ, they also, I think, are overwhelmed by the season. They give gifts to one another, even though they are not Christian. So we have a lot of influence over the Buddhist culture [at Christmas]. Last year, we gave rice with a Christmas message. We have more opportunities in terms of sharing the gospel during Christmas. 

For the ministry partners in Myanmar, as we all celebrate in different ways - some might be in small numbers, some might be in big numbers - pray that this Christmas season be a chance of joy. When they have peace, the trials, sorrow, sadness, difficulties, this will be a real joy as we celebrate Christmas.”
Yesterday, US Secretary of Homeland Security, Kris Yesterday, US Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, said “The situation in Burma has improved enough that it is safe for Burmese citizens to return home, so we are terminating the Temporary Protected Status.” 

Myanmar (Burma) is not safe. This podcast was created before the TPS termination status was announced. Our co-country director, Pastor Pan* shares examples from just the past month of how unsafe it really is, and how he and his ministry are responding.

"As I reflect on all that I am thankful for in thi "As I reflect on all that I am thankful for in this season – you, our faithful partners in both prayer and finances, our South Asia and Myanmar leaders, and the Lord who guides this work – I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity to serve “the least of these”. I want to share some recent examples of this. Because our leaders are so consistent in serving, the only way I could narrow this down was to share one example each of serving the hungry, the thirsty, the stranger, those needing clothes, the sick, and those in prison." - Kate

Gratitude 5: Motorbikes for Myanmar Because of yo Gratitude 5: Motorbikes for Myanmar

Because of your generosity, ministry leaders in Myanmar have the tools they need to keep going. Motorbikes provided by Harvest Bridge donors allow pastors and their families to travel safely, reach their communities, rescue people during wartime and regular emergencies, and continue sharing hope despite the ongoing civil war. Here is one of the many thank you notes we received:

“I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the donors and their families who prayed for us. From now on, we can travel more easily and comfortably. We no longer need to be tired or worn out like before. That’s why this motorcycle has made our life easier and protects and supports our well-being. The love, kindness, and support we’ve received from you are beyond what words can fully express. I’m deeply and sincerely thankful. In the future, I also pray that we ourselves will be able to help others in this same way.”

Gratitude Number 4: 240 people could flee violence in Myanmar 

“The Junta army started patrolling and targeting villages and I heard there were about 300 – 500 troops. The jet fighter dropped bombs from the air and the troops are on the ground targeting civilians. As of today, they have totally burned one village. The [pastors’] families and their church members are at great risk and they need our prayers and help to move to a safe place. I know that there are many requests but I have to ask you to pray for my people who are at risk.” - Pastor Pan* 

Your support helped 240 people flee to safety as the violence of the coup continues to destroy the lives of innocent people in Myanmar. You gave them the chance to escape the danger and to begin again with hope.

Learn more about the coup in Myanmar by listening to Harvest Bridge country leaders Pastor Pan* and Pastor Thang* share about their experiences on our podcast. Visit the Stories page on our website and click on the Myanmar tag.
