The Baptists of Myanmar (Burma) do not have to imagine this scenario; this is their living experience in 2007. It was my privilege to meet many brothers and sisters from Myanmar during the meetings of the Asia Baptist Congress. The story of the Baptists of Myanmar is one of inspiring courage, fortitude and endurance. In 1960 there were 300,000 Baptists in Myanmar. During the succeeding years to 2007, a period of brutal repression where the government has suppressed all dissent, they have grown to be a family of over one million baptized believers. As one of their leaders remarked, Through our crisis we have grown; through our challenges the church has prospered.
