Eden Thupha: Lamkiatna Mun Vehkikna

Rev Mung is a third generation Christian, born to and grown up in a Christian home though his home-country, Myanmar (former British Burma), is known as a non-Christian majority. He received God's call to full-time preaching ministry at his fourteen, subsequent to his born-again experience. As a travelling Evangelist, he has reached hundreds of different places in more than ten countries; and as a local pastor, he has successfully pastored four different churches in home and abroad; then as a Bible teacher, he was, and is still, engaged with several local Bible colleges. His previous appointment as Program Director for Master of Arts degree program at Bethel College, as he always says, is the most challenging of all types of ministries he has been doing thus far. His formal theological education includes Bachelor of Theology (1994) from Bethel College, Tedim, Myanmar, Master of Divinity (2005) and Master of Theology in Biblical Studies with NT concentration (2007) from Torch Trinity Graduate School of Theology (now Torch Trinity University), Seoul, Korea. His recent master's thesis reads Paul's theological reason of his pastoral leadership in the literary context of the Corinthian epistles.
