Tun has also started a radio ministry. To reach Buddhists, Tun speaks in Pali, a liturgical language in which the scriptures of Theravada Buddhism were written.
He gradually acquired an audience of Buddhists, who enjoy listening to his program, because he not only speaks words in Pali, but also includes a life application, which is not included in Pali scriptures.
Buddhists essentially believe in cause and effect. The concepts of forgiveness and mercy are nonexistent. Instead, they believe everyone should pay for what they have done. To experience a good life, Buddhists must perform good deeds. Tun’s radio program shakes the foundations of their atheistic dogma, by introducing the topics of mercy and grace--revolutionary concepts that have generated much curiosity.
Tun’s radio program expanded to include more than 10 languages, each allotted 15 minutes of airtime.
His ministry also produces thousands of tracts each month in more than 20 different dialects. With help from Christian Aid, Tun bought and distributed radios to places where missionaries are not easily able to travel. Radio evangelism has proven to be one of the most effective ways to reach people with Christ in Burma.
As more Burmese became interested in learning about Christ, a correspondence course was started, and then a Bible school for those desiring to become involved in service.
To become pastors, students must attend classes for four-month intervals, intermixed with practical field training. Once the students pass their courses and start churches of their own, their progress will be monitored for another year before they will receive a certificate of completion.
The training is very personalized, depending upon the area the student wishes to evangelize, whether rural or urban. Through Tun’s godly guidance, these disciples are lighting the path to Christ in Burma.
