September 2012 Luncheon

Wayne and Marlene Wyatt will be the guests at the Achievers’ luncheon on September 27, 2012.

Wayne and Marlene have been involved with the Karen people of Regina since their arrival in Regina in November, 2006.

They were invited Rev. Ya Lay Lay Lah, a professor at the Karen Baptist Theological Seminary of Yangon (Rangoon), Myanmar (Burma). In January they went for a two week visit to Myanmar. Their Karen hosts kept them very busy visiting and talking at Karen churches, seminaries, Bible schools, and orphanages in the area around Yangon and Pathien. They were very impressed with the work that God is doing within Karen Baptist Church in Myanmar, a country that is 90% Buddhist.

While in Asia they also visited Cambodia, a place that for three and a half years in the 1970’s evil ruled the land at the hands of Paul Pot and the Khmer Rouge. This came as a great shock to them right after they just been in Myanmar, where they had seen the hands of God at work in Myanmar.

There will be a slide show presentation mainly about their visit to Myanmar, but a few slides will deal with Cambodia.
