Meet Nin Si

One dark, rainy night, a big group of medical missionaries and volunteers headed back home from an evangelistic meeting in a nearby village. We worked hard for the Lord:  teaching, applying natural remedies to the sick and praying for the people—and we were tired. If you were riding with us, you would have heard a few soft voices chatting in the back along with the creaks and groans of an old van making its way down a bumpy dirt road.  Suddenly…..screech……BANG! Everyone woke up with a start and before they had a chance to even scream, the van started to roll down the roadside ditch. I felt something pressing painfully down on my chest making it hard to breathe. Some shouted for help. It felt like a hundred days passed by but no one came! I cried to God for He is "our refuge and our strength, a very present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1). He gave me the courage to crawl out from underneath the car. As I looked around in a daze, I discovered that we had hit a motorcycle and the driver was lying dead in a pool of blood. Now I understood why an hour had passed by already and no one stopped to help, not even the police (in Burma, most people are scared of the spirits of those who die, afraid that they will come and harass them).

Finally, an Adventist pastor came by our way and stopped to help us. We thanked the Lord! He immediately contacted the officers of the Adventist Mission and they came to take us to the hospital. Everyone was injured. I had some internal bleeding, a broken cheek bone, a concussion, and back pain. It took me a month to recover, but I praise the Lord for this experience. I believe God allowed it to happen in order to test me and see if I would be faithful even after this accident and all the problems that came from it. I recognize that God saved my life. I now am even more committed to serve Him.

I now thank God for the little tests He gave me because those experiences prepared me and helped me pass this big test of faith. For instance when I took the medical missionary training last year, I was surprised to find out they offered breakfast at 8am and dinner at 2pm By 7pm each night, I tend to get hungry and want something to eat. The first two days, my friends and I would go out to eat at night. But then I came across Luke 16:10 that says, “He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much.” I started to think if our teachers can go without supper and be faithful in this little thing, why can’t I? So the next evening when friends invited me to go out and eat, I kindly refused. I found that in every area of my life, God is helping me to be faithful and committed to doing His will.
