LIAN & LUNNU

Lian grew up in a remote village of Myanmar. As the oldest of six siblings, he felt responsible for his family after his father died. Lian never intended to become a theologian or pastor. Clear signs of God’s call urged him towards ministry. Lian felt fully able to fulfill God’s plan only after he married Lunnu. In 2011, Lian graduated from Dallas Theological Seminary. He partnered with CRI to start Shalem Christian Academy.

In Myanmar, many parents work all day in the rice fields and are too busy, poor, and tired to send their children to school. Lian and Lunnu’s vision is to bring these children, especially orphans, into their Shalem Christian Academy. Their goal for their students is to teach them not only how to survive, but to love God, love their neighbor, and be useful to society.
