Presbyterian Missionary Union is a non-profit missions agency associated with the Bible Presbyterian Church. Our purpose is
to advance the cause of missions that are biblically based and practiced and to stand against any compromise of the saving gos-
pel of Jesus Christ. PMU is directed by a Missions Council of Christian leaders who volunteer their time to guide the ministry.
To learn more about missions opportunities through PMU, or to learn more about the BPC please contact us. The Missions
Banner is published ten times a year and is distributed without cost to interested individuals and churches. It seeks to promote
the clear stand of the BPC by providing a biblical perspective on issues, fads, and theories in missions and church development.
Our Editor is Len Pine, and our Publishing Coordinator is Tito Lyro.

Miriam Writes...
“My students this year are IT professionals at a major automobile factory in the
capital city of the world’s most populous country! Anyway, these students are won-
derful to teach—they speak English well, so our classes can have deep discussions
and we can dwell on some of the finer points of English.
“There are several things to ask for your thoughts about. First of all is S, the lady
I have mentioned everywhere, and her daughter. S’s husband has because abusive of
them both and has threatened to kill them several times. He has taken to calling S
both “insane” and “disloyal” because she studies the Word and did so with foreign-
ers. This is a dangerous position for her. It is not uncommon for those who stand for
their beliefs to be labeled as “insane” and then committed for indefinite periods of
time to an insane asylum, where they will not be allowed out until they have
“reformed.” And of course, “disloyalty” is a capital crime. Please remember S as she
tries to find another job and get her daughter safely out of the situation.
“Also please remember A and E, two current Book study students. One is a be-
liever and one is not. E is studying to increase her understanding in the faith, A to
come to understand more about it. Please ask that the Father will prosper these stud-
ies for His own glory.
“Thirdly, please remember some of my students who have expressed an interest
in knowing more about our Book and our Father. Five of them have come to me at
different times to ask about this. Arranging a time and determining the safety of sug-
gesting such a study and other details are matters to be remembered, as well as the
spiritual condition of these five. Three of these are men and two women.
“Thank you all for your thoughts, your kind remembrances and your gifts. All
are greatly appreciated and I am always encouraged by your thoughtfulness. For
those I was able to see this summer, I was so glad for the chance and encouraged by
the whole summer. And I hope to see those next time whom I was unable to get to
this time around. Isa 43:6-7.”
 Paauwes Keep Busy!
Ed and Lehia are finding that their labors in Perth, Western
Australia, are opening many other doors of opportunity in the
region. In an update letter to PMU’s office dated October 23,
they write, “We have just finished teaching the second semester
of Evangel Bible Institute, and only the final exams are left.
“On November 24, Lehia and I will fly to Singapore; we'll
be gone for about twelve days. On Saturday, November 26, I've
been invited to preach at the dedication service of the new
building for the Ulu Tiram Bible-Presbyterian Church. Ulu Ti-
ram is a village in the southern part of the state of Johore in Ma-
Bible Presbyterian Church of Western Austra- laysia. The congregation of this church comprises Indians and
lia (Perth) they worship in the Tamil language, which means the sermon
will have to be interpreted.
“On Sunday, November 27, I'll be preach-
ing at two Bible-Presbyterian Churches in
Singapore (morning and evening). Then on
Tuesday or Wednesday (November 29 or
30), we'll be flying to Pontianak in West
Kalimantan. Kalimantan is the Indonesian
part of what used to be called Borneo. I've
been asked to preach at the 5th Borneo Bi-
ble Camp and Missions Conference, No-
vember 30 - December 4. Representatives
from at least half a dozen Bible-
Presbyterian Churches will meet together.
(I would rather not mention the names of
these churches, because at least one of them
is an underground church, and mentioning
the name could cause problems for the
members of that church.) Lehia will be hav-
Bible Study Class at Evangel Bible Institute ing a series of special meetings for the children. By the way, all
these meetings will have interpretation into Indonesian. We're
scheduled to return to Perth on December 5.
“On December 16, we're having a Praise Night and Gospel
Rally at Bible-Presbyterian Church of Western Australia. This
will be an opportunity to proclaim the saving Gospel of the
Lord Jesus Christ to the lost.

Skyline: “We would appreciate your prayers for us as we participate
in these various meetings.”

Kimas’ Baby Arrives!

Khawl and Mawite Kima, PMU missionaries to Myanmar, brought their first child into the world this month!
The baby was due on November 21. However, Mawite had to go into the hospital early (on November 1) with high
blood pressure. She delivered by C-section as soon as her blood pressure went down on Tuesday, October 8, at 8:05
AM. Baby Kima weighed in at 3.3 kg (about 7.28 lbs.). Mom and baby are doing fine. Please pray for wisdom, faith,
and their financial needs to be met (no health insurance, all must be paid out of pocket). Khawl writes, “Let us care
for nothing for God is with us. He is in control of everything. He answers our prayers.”
The Kimas are in great need also of regular monthly support from churches and individuals. Can you help? Their
many-faceted ministry in both Yangon and the Shan state to the north depends upon it! Thank you.
