Pastor Manaai & Pai Pai
Church Planters South East Asia
Pastor Manaai and his wife, Pai Pai, work as church planters in a very poor and primarily Buddhist country of over 50 million people which is hostile to the gospel. According to Joshua Project, 84 % of this country’s population is considered unreached by the gospel. An ongoing civil war which has lasted for decades as well as high inflation, political isolation, the devastation of natural disasters, and persecution from both the government and the majority Buddhist population all combine to make this a very difficult country to live and minister in. In addition, foreign gospel workers were forced to leave almost 50 years ago. The few Bible believing and gospel preaching churches that exist in this country are house churches often led by leaders with very little and often no Bible or theological training.
It is this context in which Pastor Manaai and his family minister making disciples, gathering them into churches, and then training leaders to lead them. He also provides leadership to several pastors and church planters who are working to establish churches throughout Myanmar.
