Serving Ministry

Welcome to my personal blog where I share my family background, childhood memories, adulthood journey, my own family, ministry life, and Christian literature. My ultimate prayer is to document the rhythms of life with absolute authenticity: the seasons of rejoicing and weeping, companionship and loneliness, plenty and want, and health and sickness. Guided by the enduring truth of Philippians 4:11-13, I seek to find unwavering contentment and strength in Christ through every chapter.

Today, I want to share a chapter about an unexpected wilderness, and the beautiful, hidden congregation God planted right in the middle of it.

Life is a profound tapestry woven with unexpected callings. Often, the paths we never intended to walk lead us to our greatest purpose, and our most daunting challenges become the very foundation of our most impactful ministries.

For years, I have known the deep joy of serving as an ordained minister at the River of Life Christian Church in Hmawbi Township. Alongside my beloved wife, Mai Thin Thin Myo, I have dedicated my life to leading our congregation in Word-centered praise, worship, and teaching. It is a privilege I cherish, just as I cherish teaching part-time at a local Bible college. Yet, my most important calling—the one that has most deeply shaped my heart and redefined my understanding of grace—was found not behind a pulpit, but within the walls of my own home.

I am the proud father of a beautiful young boy, Titus Myo Lwin, affectionately known to our family as Salai Myint Moh. Titus is autistic.

When a family first receives a diagnosis like autism, it feels akin to stepping into an uncharted wilderness without a compass. There are moments of profound uncertainty, deep physical exhaustion, and fervent, tearful prayers whispered in the dark. You are forced to navigate a world you previously knew nothing about, advocating for a child who processes the world differently.

However, through the grace of God, what initially felt like an insurmountable mountain has revealed itself as an extraordinary, life-altering blessing. Committed to being the devoted parents that Titus deserves, my wife and I made it our absolute priority to ensure he received the specialized education and tender care necessary for him to thrive. This deeply personal journey led our family to the Eden Centre for Disabled Children in Yangon—a sanctuary of immense hope and practical support.

It was there, sitting in the quiet waiting rooms and walking the busy hallways, that God gently opened my eyes to a completely new congregation.

I looked around and saw the faces of other parents. They were faces etched with the same heavy weariness, the same fierce, protective love, and sometimes, the same silent despair that my wife and I had so intimately known. In that moment, I realized my pastoral calling was never meant to be confined solely to the church building in Hmawbi.

Today, I am deeply honored to serve as a chaplain at the Eden Centre, the very facility that embraces and educates my son.

"I do not offer empty platitudes; I offer the genuine empathy of a father who walks the exact same road."

In this role, I minister to parents of children with disabilities. I sit with them, holding their hands and listening to their stories. Through the abiding power of the Word of God, I strive to provide them with spiritual encouragement, renewed strength, and unwavering guidance. I remind them daily that they are not forgotten, that their children are fearfully and wonderfully made, and that there is a divine, beautiful purpose woven into their unique family narratives.

If you are walking a difficult path today—whether you are raising a child with special needs, navigating a sudden loss, or facing an unforeseen hardship—I want to encourage you to hold fast to your faith.

The very trials that threaten to break us are often the precise tools used to mold us into vessels of comfort. Do not let the wilderness defeat you. Your struggle is preparation. Embrace your journey, lean heavily into the grace that sustains you, and watch how your deepest challenges can be beautifully transformed into a wellspring of hope for others.
