Southern Shan State
How can we conclude the missions among the Shan in Southern Shan State? 30 believers baptized in 1912 in MuongNai after 10 years of missions. Today not more than one hundred Shan believers in MuongNai Church. But it is not the Shan-speaking Church but the Burmese. Only three Shan-speaking Churches exist with two hundred members in 111 years of mission among the Shan in Southern Shan State. Most of the members of these three Churches are originally not from Southern Shan State, but they are either migrants from Northern Shan State or Eastern Shan State. The pastors of these three Shan Churches are also not from Southern Shan State. One is from the Eastern Shan State, and two are from Northern Shan State. There are some Shan believers in PangLong, MuongNai, LoiLem, MuongPon, KoLum, and other places, but they do not have a leader, preacher, or pastor to lead them into forming a Church and having regular worship services in their language. Shan Churches in the South cannot form an association. They are neither associated with the Shan Baptist Association in the Eastern nor Northern Shan State. There is a Bible School in Taunggyi, but it is not the Shan Bible School. It is the Burmese Bible School using the Burmese language.
