The three-day Myanmar Mission Leadership Conference concluded on May 1, 2025 with a powerful message underscoring the unstoppable advance of the Gospel and a renewed call for cross-bearing leadership in the mission field.
Delivered by the General Secretary of Olivet Assembly of Southeast Asia (OA SEA), the closing message, based on Acts 28:23-31, emphasized the Apostle Paul’s unwavering proclamation of the Kingdom of God and Jesus Christ “with all boldness and without hindrance”. The leaders were exhorted to carry this same spirit as they engage in mission work across Myanmar.
The message urged leaders to deeply understand and teach the core doctrines of Christology, Soteriology, and Eschatology, stressing the need to present the full narrative of redemption – from creation to Christ’s return. Highlighting the centrality of the Cross, the preacher reminded the leaders that salvation is not just justification, but includes sanctification and the future hope of glorification.
Myanmar leaders were also cautioned against reducing preaching to motivational speaking, emphasizing instead the need for Gospel-centered proclamation grounded in Biblical truth and the Cross of Jesus Christ. “We must preach Christ crucified,” the preacher emphasized, “not based on emotion, but based on the truth of salvation.”
Referencing the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20, the leaders were reminded that the call to evangelize is for all believers, not just trained ministers. Despite rejection or hardship, they were encouraged to remain faithful, trusting in God’s presence and purpose.
As the conference drew to a close, the leaders were called not only to listen but to act – to participate in building the Kingdom of God through bold church planting efforts. The message concluded with a stirring challenge, “Let us go and build the Kingdom of God, for nothing can stop the advancement of the Gospel!”
May the fire of revival sparked during this conference continue to burn in the hearts of Myanmar’s leaders, propelling them forward in their mission to proclaim Christ without hindrance.
