31 days of prayer for the Hui in Myanmar

[Day 31 of 31] Pray for Adoption of Hui in Myanmar / 為認養緬甸回民禱告

[:en]

English | 華語

English

GGCC

GGCC has been praying about the adoption of a UUPG, particularly Hui in Myanmar, since MET1 came back. A workgroup was formed to facilitate the pre-adoption process. In November of 2020 GGCC members voted to adopt one unspecified UUPG. In July of 2021, the GGCC council approved the Mission Committee’s recommendation to adopt the Hui in Myanmar. In the upcoming November congregation meeting, members will make the final vote on adopting the Hui in Myanmar. Pray for the hearts of members to earnestly desire the salvation of Hui in Myanmar.

How could we pray?

1. May the Spirit give unity to members at GGCC to discern whether the Hui in Myanmar is the people group we should adopt 2. Pray that God would move the hearts of members at GGCC to participate in the UUPG adoption initiative through different means: pray continuously, give financially, participate in short-term mission trips, or even become missionaries. 3. Depending on how God leads us on the journey of the UUPG adoption, pray that we would be faithful to our cal, whether we are in a leading or supporting role.


華語

金門教會

自2019年第一支緬甸探索隊回來以後,金門教會一直在禱告認養一個未得之民群體,特別是緬甸的回民。教會設立了一個工作小組,推動認養之前的準備過程。 2020年11月,會員大會投票通過認養一個未得之民群體。2021年7月,長執會通過了宣教委員會關於認養緬甸回民的提議。2021年11月教會將召開會員大會,會員將對認養緬甸回民的提案作最終投票。禱告金門教會的會眾的心切切渴慕主的救恩。

如何禱告

1. 求聖靈賜下合一,讓金門教會弟兄姊妹可以對於「是否以緬甸回民作為認養未得知民福音工作的對象?」一事上有共同的看見。 2. 求神感動金門教會弟兄姊妹的心,在對於未得知民的宣教工作上,能夠願意透過不同方式來參與。例如:持續禱告、奉獻支持、參加短宣,甚至受呼召成為宣教士。 3. 依據上帝對金門教會的帶領,讓我們不論是做帶領或是支援的角色,都可以忠於呼召。

[Day 29 of 31] Pray for the Hui who are Discriminated / 為被歧視的回民禱告

The Hui who are Discriminated

“I can feel the stares. I can hear their voices. They do not like that I am here. Many do not like that I am Hui. It is evident in the way that they have asked us to remove Arabic writing from our store fronts and how they have made us redesign our places of worship so that they look less Arabic. People who were once dear to me are also beginning to look at me differently. Just last month, I was eating dinner with some friends from another country. My friend was translating for them because my English is very poor. I did, however, hear my friend say, ‘Do not tell him this, but the Hui are beginning to be looked down on more and more. We do not like them, honestly.’ This hurts me. I am no longer able to think as I wish. I am a well-established businessman, yet I fear for my job. I have been doing my job for a long time, and I do it very well. One day people may choose not to do business with me just because of what I believe.”

How could we pray?

1. Pray for harmonious relationships between people groups 2. Pray for Hui people living in fear. Ask that they would come to know the Lord who conquers fear and give peace


華語

被歧視的回民

“我能感受到他們的眼光,聽到他們的聲音。他們不喜歡我在這裡。很多人不喜歡我是一個回民。這很明顯,因為他們要求我們刪除店面上的阿拉伯文字,也要求我們重新設計禮拜場所,使它們看起來不像阿拉伯風格。曾經跟我關係很好的人也開始用不同的方式看待我。就在上個月,我和一些外國人吃晚飯。因為我的英語很差,我的一個朋友為他們做翻譯,談話中間我聽朋友對外國人說:‘別告訴他,但現在回民越來越被人看不起了。老實說,我們不喜歡回民。’ 這件事讓我很痛苦。我不能再按自己的意願去想問題了。我生意已經做得很穩定了,但現在我擔心自己的工作。雖然這份工作我已經做了很久,而且做得很好,但有一天,大家可能會因為我的信仰而跟我斷絕生意往來。”

如何禱告

1. 禱告緬甸各族群之間的關係和諧。2. 生活在恐惧中的回民有機會認識賜下平安的主,戰勝恐懼。

Mosque and Islam Schools in Pyin Oo Lwin

The Hui Mosque in Pyin Oo Lwin serves about 200 Hui families in the city. It also houses an Islamic school called True Light established in 1990. It had roughly 40 students in 2019, all boys and mainly from Tangyan and Lashio, and under 10 teachers. The curriculum is composed of Arabic and instruction of Islamic doctrines. Students spend eight years here before going to colleges mostly in the Middle East. There are three such Islamic schools in Myanmar organized by Hui. The Pyin Oo Lwin school is the newest and has become the best organized among the three. Apart from these Islamic schools run by Hui, Hui boys can attend Islamic schools run by the Indian Muslims including the ones in Yangon.

English | 華語

English

The political instability in Myanmar

The country has had little peace since the Japanese invasion of WWII, in 1942. By 1948, Burma claimed its independence from Britain as a Federal Union. Popular demands for democratic rule opened the way for elections in 1990. Although the opposition party won 85% of the seats, the military regime refused to hand over power. The secretive military junta, has turned Myanmar into a prison with widespread human rights abuses and killings etc. In 2011, the military junta was officially dissolved, following a general election from 2010. Aung San Suu Kyi and other political prisoners helped to improve the country’s political condition. In February 1, 2021, the military again seized power in a coup.

How could we pray?

Pray that the tensions between the military and the government would be resolved peacefully. Pray that a democratically elected government would be put in place instead of military rule.

緬甸不穩定的政局

自1942年二戰日本入侵以來,緬甸幾乎沒有太平過。1948年,緬甸宣布脫離英國獨立,成為聯邦。1990年,爭取民主的民眾終於迎來大選。雖然反對黨贏得了85%的席位,但軍政府拒絕交出權力。秘密的軍政府將緬甸變成了監獄,到處都是侵害人權和殺戮等事件。同時,昂山素季和其他政治犯一直致力改善國家的政治格局。 2010年,緬甸舉行大選,民主政府上台,隨後軍政府於2011年正式解散。2021年2月1日,軍方再次通過政變奪取政權。

The young couples having financial hardship among the Hui

“My wife and I recently got married. The marriage was arranged by our parents. The bride price was set at $20,000 USD, which meant that my family had to pay this amount to my wife’s family. In order for us to go through with the wedding, this money had to be paid. As a couple, we didn’t receive any of this money ourselves. My mother-in-law said that she worked for over twenty years to raise my wife, so this is money that she has earned.
Culturally, it is expected that I provide a new house and a new car for my wife. I purchased these things to fulfill these expectations. Now, we are in an immense amount of debt. Almost all of the money I make each month goes towards paying off these debts. It has put much strain on our new marriage. Although it seems from the outside that we have nice things, we are struggling to make it financially.”

How could we pray?

1. Pray for wisdom for Hui people as they deal with very difficult financial burdens that threaten marriages and family
2. Pray God will work in the hearts of young Hui couples. Ask Him to keep their marriages strong.

如何禱告

1. 禱告回民有智慧處理經濟負擔,不至於困難到威脅婚姻和家庭。
2. 禱告上帝在年輕的回民夫婦心中動工,堅固他們的婚姻。

1. 禱告回民有智慧處理經濟負擔,不至於困難到威脅婚姻和家庭。
2. 禱告上帝在年輕的回民夫婦心中動工,堅固他們的婚姻。[:zh]

The young couples having financial hardship among the Hui

“My wife and I recently got married. The marriage was arranged by our parents. The bride price was set at $20,000 USD, which meant that my family had to pay this amount to my wife’s family. In order for us to go through with the wedding, this money had to be paid. As a couple, we didn’t receive any of this money ourselves. My mother-in-law said that she worked for over twenty years to raise my wife, so this is money that she has earned.
Culturally, it is expected that I provide a new house and a new car for my wife. I purchased these things to fulfill these expectations. Now, we are in an immense amount of debt. Almost all of the money I make each month goes towards paying off these debts. It has put much strain on our new marriage. Although it seems from the outside that we have nice things, we are struggling to make it financially.”

How could we pray?

1. Pray for wisdom for Hui people as they deal with very difficult financial burdens that threaten marriages and family
2. Pray God will work in the hearts of young Hui couples. Ask Him to keep their marriages strong.

The poor and the elderly among the Hui

(From the elderly among the Hui) “Getting old has been hard. I don’t have any family left. I lost my farm a few years back. I am too old to get a job, so I collect plastics for recycling. I am able to make a little money, but life is hard. I don’t have any money for medicine or doctor visits. I don’t go to the mosque because I am poor and homeless. Sometimes they will give me some money out of charity. Helping the poor is considered a good work in Islam.” 

How could we pray?

Pray Jesus followers will serve, love, and care for elderly Hui who does not have any family to help them.

The Hui who live in small cities

Beyond cities like Mandalay, Pyin Oo Lwin and Yangon, Hui people are spread over in areas around Taungyi, Lashio, Tangyan and Kentung, where large Chinese population can be found. They make their living off farming, jade mining and trading. Some of these areas are remote and poor. Some lie in Myanmar’s armed conflict zones where several ethnic armed groups fight Myanmar’s armed forces. The conflict has forced many Hui families to move away from their homeland.

How could we pray?

Pray that as the Hui move around from city to city, pray that they would encounter other Christians in the process and that the Gospel would reach them even as they are displaced.

除了曼德勒、彬烏倫和仰光等大城市,緬甸的回民還住在東枝、臘戍、當陽和墾東等中小城市,這些地方華人比較集中,他們多以農業、玉石開采和貿易為生。其中的一些地區比較偏遠,貧乏。一些位於緬甸的武裝衝突區,會遇到少數民族的武裝團體與緬甸政府軍的衝突。戰事已經迫使許多回民家庭搬離家鄉。

如何禱告

禱告主,當回民從一個城市搬到另一個城市時,他們在搬家過程中遇到基督徒,即便他們流離失所,也能聽到福音。[:zh]

The Hui

“I am a thirty-year-old Hui man. I was born in a poor, small village. My parents pushed me to do well in school when I was younger. Because of my hard work and good grades, I was able to go to a good university. This was a great privilege for me, since many Hui people where I am from do not have these kinds of opportunities. After I graduated, I remained in the large university city to work for a few years. Although I liked the worldview I gained from this experience, the big city was a little too much for me. Life there is very fast-paced and everyone spends all of their time working hard just to get ahead. I decided to move back to the capital city of my home province, so I could be closer to my family and enjoy a slower-paced life. To get a decent job, I joined a national company. Being Hui in a company like this means that I am not allowed to wear the traditional Hui hat or grow out my beard. I also do not have time to attend the mosque regularly, as I must keep normal working hours. I am currently working at an entry-level position, but I would like to earn a higher position. Religion is very dear and interesting to me. It is dear because of the Islamic traditions that I grew up with and have practiced my whole life. It is interesting because of the things I have learned about while away at school. During this time, I was exposed to the religious beliefs that people around the world hold. I love to learn and have spent much time studying other religions and history.”

How could we pray?

Pray that as Hui people move to bigger cities for study or business, that they would be blessed and experience grace, compassion and true friendship.

回民

“我是一個回民,今年三十歲。我出生在一個貧窮的小村莊。小時候父母督促我好好學習。因為我努力學習,成績好,後來去了一所好大學。這對我來說是莫大的榮幸,因為許多我的同族人都沒有這樣的機會。我畢業後留在大學所在的城市工作了幾年。雖然我喜歡那些年經歷到的世界,但大城市我還是有點受不了。那裡的生活節奏太快,每個人為了出人頭地都在拼命工作。後來我搬回到我家所在的省會城市,這樣可以離家人近一點,生活節奏慢一點。為了有一份好工作,我進了一家國營公司。但在公司裡回民不能戴傳統的帽子,也不能留鬍子。因為要正常上班,我也沒有時間固定去清真寺。我目前剛剛入行,但我想職位可以越做越高。宗教對我來說非常珍貴和有趣。說珍貴,是因為我是在伊斯蘭教的傳統中長大,而且以後一輩子都會這樣生活。說有趣,是因為我在校期間學到的東西,那一陣我接觸到了世界各地不同的宗教信仰。我喜歡學習,花了很多時間研究其他的宗教和歷史。”

如何禱告

求主讓回民搬到大城市學習或經商時,他們會得到祝福,經歷到恩典、同情和真正的友誼。

Some reach out to neighborhoods that have Muslim families. Some operate a Chinese school. One Chinese brother and his family of three opened a home-based Gospel center in a poor neighborhood to preach and care for those in the neighborhood, some of the Indian Muslims.

Mission-Minded Chinese Churches

Out of the roughly 2 million Chinese in Myanmar, the Chinese Christian Training Resource Center (cctrcus.org) estimates that 15,000 are Christians. A tiny minority in an already vulnerable population, they are facing systematic discrimination with all other Christian communities in Myanmar. Chinese churches are fighting all sorts of spiritual fights and sometimes feel weak and lack resources. Yet some of them remain passionate about missions, especially to Chinese communities in remote areas and close to the border with China.

How could we pray?

1. Pray that Christians will have the burden to reach out to the Muslims. 2. Pray that Christians who attend Chinese school along with the Hui Muslims will be friends with them. 3. Pray for the opportunities to talk about Jesus with those who are feeling scared and desperate.
