While these all exist in Myanmar, they by no means offer a complete picture of the country. The western media has done an incredible job of presenting a one sided and decidedly negative view of Myanmar. We want to invite you to consider that there is much more happening inside the borders of this beautifully complex land.

Since 2009 we have been exploring together what it could mean to serve and learn from the people of Yangon and their unique perspective.

It has been encouraging to receive a warm welcome from both neighbours and local churches. By moving into these neighbourhoods – something not many foreigners do – we have been confronted and amazed. Confronted with the many challenges of life under poverty, fear and oppression; and amazed by life lived with hope, joy and generosity.

Slowly we begin to get a glimpse of what life could be like for us. There is a lot of room for relationships alongside local people, regardless of race, status, education or religion. Discovering different possibilities for service has been promising.

We are looking for more people to join us in living out the ethos of Servants in Yangon. People who have a calling and a heart for the poor of our city and want to begin a journey towards long-term commitment in the next few years.
