My name is Lazarus Fish and my wife is Acha.
We have four children: Sarah (13 years old), Paul
(10), Rachel (6) and Elizabeth (3).
We are from the Lisu tribe which lives in
northern Myanmar (Burma).
My father was one of the first
converts among the Lisu people.
He was converted by the Morse family and was
among the first Lisu group trained by them. He worked
with the missionaries for more than ten years and passed
away when I was about six years old.
Before he died, he asked my mother to promise him
that she would raise me to be a missionary.
My mother said that she promised him this.
But when I grew up, I just became a school
teacher and taught at the school for nine years
(1977-86).
In 1986, I resigned from my
teaching career, joined a Bible College in Yangon, and
studied there for five years in the Bachelor of Theology
program. During
my study at the college, I ministered at Tamwe Christian
Church in Yangon. After graduation in 1992, I taught at
Eastern Bible Institute until 1994.
In
August 1994, I arrived in the United States and studied
at Lincoln Christian Seminary for four years in the
Master of Divinity program. I graduated in May 1998 and
God continued to prepare the way, by making possible for me
to study His Word at Asbury Theological Seminary to
obtain a Doctor of Missiology, with a major in
cultural anthropology. In July 2002 we returned to Myanmar where we continue to
serve Him through the Myanmar Agape Christian Mission.
This site will explain our plan
for future ministry in Myanmar. There are two main
points: (1) the Seminary project and (2) other mission
projects. Dear
brothers and sisters, we would like to ask you to pray
for us and partner with us in the ministry to Southeast
Asia. We thank you so much for giving us an opportunity
to share with you the vision we have for our future
ministry.
