Since the start of Agape Mission in 2009, God has implanted in Rev. Peter T. Mang the vision of planting a healthy church in every community in Myanmar. Prior to serving as a church planter, he served as an itinerant evangelist in Ayeyarwady Region for 2 years from 2009 to 2011. In early 2011, Peter has a deep longing to plant a healthy church with a strong disciple making culture that will multiply healthy disciples and churches across Yangon. After much prayer, with a deep conviction of God’s call to church planting, in September 2011, he had the direction from God to start a new church plant in Hlaingthayar, Yangon.
Agape Church Planting was started at the initiative of Agape Mission in September 2011, with the vision of planting a healthy church in every community in Myanmar. After much prayer and having received confirmation, on September 6, 2011, Peter and his family moved to Hlaingthayar to plant healthy churches that multiply. They lived and served on personal support through the generous support of those who share their God-given vision and who believe in their mission. Pursuing God’s calling for their lives, a church planting movement was started from a humble beginning.
We launched our first church plant on Sunday, September 23, 2012, at a rented 2-story house located in 13 Quarter, Hlaingthayar. In September 2013, we moved to a rented apartment located in 6 Quarter, Hlaingthayar. A few months later a rented apartment was closed due to prohibiting restraints, and since then we meet weekly in house churches to engage, equip, and empower every disciple to multiply healthy disciples and churches.
Our Impact
In June 2009, our founder Rev. Peter T. Mang began to serve as an itinerant Evangelist, sharing the gospel with unreached people in remote villages and cities across Ayeyarwady Region. In September 2011, he then began pursuing God’s call to church planting and started planting house churches in Yangon.
When we launched our first church plant in Hlaingtharyar, our attendees were just a small group of 12 people. We are committed to seeing a church grow and multiply. A new church plant grew from a small group of people meeting in a tiny house once a week and providing small group Bible study on a regular basis to making disciples who make disciples and planting healthy churches that multiply.
In the first five years from 2011-2016, we expanded to 7 new places and started a disciple group or new fellowship in each community in Hlaingthayar. In April 2016, we launched a church planting initiative in Insein to plant healthy churches that multiply healthy churches. In February 2019, we formed a Church Planting Network with the purpose of strengthening leaders, mobilizing churches, and multiplying churches to accelerate the fulfillment of the Great Commission.
In 2020, the Agape Mission launched Vision 2030 with the goal of planting 300 healthy churches among unreached people across the country by the end of 2030.
We envision a movement of church planters working to plant healthy churches that multiply healthy churches to accelerate the fulfillment of the Great Commission. Our passion is to glorify God by reaching the unreached with the gospel of Jesus Christ through planting a healthy church in every community in Myanmar.
We provide creative and effective approaches to evangelism, discipleship, church planting, leadership development, mission mobilization, and community development to accelerate church planting among unreached people in Myanmar.
