My family originates from Burma, but due to persecution fled to a refugee camp in Thailand called Noh Poe, where I was born. When I was six years old, my father, my two older brothers, and I came to the United States. It was in 3rd grade, during a VBS sports camp, that I first learned about Jesus. Through this experience, I met two Christian families who introduced me to church. It was in Sunday school class in 6th grade that I accepted Christ into my life, and I was baptized in 2015.
I pursued a degree in Sports Management in college because I love sports and connecting with communities. But during my senior year, I felt a strong calling from God to become a missionary. Now, with firm faith, I'm getting ready for this new journey to Thailand. Seeing the Lord's unwavering faithfulness has solidified and made my decision to move to Thailand much easier.
In May, I got a chance to go on a survey mission trip to Thailand, where I had the incredible opportunity to engage with the youth community at the CLAY Center (Changing Lives Among Youth). Throughout the trip, I actively engaged in sharing the gospel, organizing activities, and fostering meaningful connections through games and interactions with the youth. Attending the Cell Group allowed me to share my testimony about Jesus' faithfulness and provision among a group of young adults. Additionally, I got the chance to go to different villages, spreading the message of the gospel and experiencing the diverse landscapes and culture of Thailand.
I'll be joining the Live Global Sports Ministry at the CLAY Center, where sports serve as a pathway to connect with college students, nearby schools, and children in various living situations. Our goal is to spread Christ's message and bring hope through sports—a remarkable opportunity to serve, uplift communities, and share the transformative power of the Good News in a place that holds a special place in my heart.
While I'm with the CLAY Center in Thailand, my main focus will be sharing the Good News with young people using sports. This means I'll use sports to help connect with them and build friendships that go beyond just playing games. I'm also excited to help start a special place for girls where they can learn and grow spiritually. Another big part of what I'm doing is working closely with the nationals missionaries at the sports center. We aim to create an environment where the gospel is shared, and individuals are nurtured in their spiritual journey.
