Light in the Darkness Thang Deih Lian (Davidlianno)

This book aims at revealing the missionary work, preaching style, leadership style, revivals, and contextual theologies of Rev. Dr. Cin Sian Pau. Pau is from the Northern Chin State of Myanmar, which is a Buddhist country (89%) with Animistic influence. Although the Gospel has found its place in Myanmar since the 16th century, the Animistic people groups in the Southern Chin Hills were left forgotten long before Pau introduced the Gospel to thousands of people, planted (20) churches, and mobilized over (100) Christian leaders during 1980-1991. To this point, books and research have not yet arrived at discovering Pau's ministries and influence. In the Southern Chin Hills, he has been known as the spiritual father and mentor of many Christians, the father of the Pentecostal movement, and to have successful missionary works. Some call him the revivalist of the dead churches. Reading this book will definitely provide a depth of understanding and insight for promoting spiritual revivals, life changes, church growth, and ministerial effectiveness, which have been the challenging tasks for many Christian leaders today.
