In a country marked by political uncertainty and daily challenges, the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Myanmar is sharing the gospel across the region. From August 14–23, 2025, members and leaders of the Myanmar Union Mission (MYUM) conducted a series of evangelistic programs that resulted in 225 baptisms.

Despite restrictions and unrest in Myanmar, Adventist members have remained active in sharing their faith through house-to-house visits, community programs, and public evangelistic meetings.

The August initiatives highlighted this mission spirit across multiple regions. In Central Myanmar, the dedication of the Light of Hope Center on August 15 was followed by 52 baptisms the next day. In Upper Myanmar, gatherings in Kalay City on August 18–19 led to 61 baptisms. Additional efforts in the Ayeyarwady Mission and at Myanmar Union College on August 21–22 added 77 more. The series concluded on August 23 in Yangon Adventist Mission, where 35 individuals were baptized during Sabbath worship.

Roger O. Caderma, president of the Southern Asia-Pacific Division (SSD), joined the evangelistic efforts, preaching and participating in the baptismal services. His visit marked his first evangelistic campaign since being elected during the General Conference Session in St. Louis, Missouri, in July.

“These baptisms remind us of how the Holy Spirit works,” Caderma said. “They reflect the faithfulness of our members who continue to share Jesus in places where hope is desperately needed.”

The efforts formed part of Harvest 2025, a division-wide initiative mobilizing churches across 11 countries in the SSD for intentional evangelism. In Myanmar, the results reflect the resilience of members and leaders who continue to advance the church’s mission despite significant challenges.
