Hi, my name is C. Scott Kroeger and I am on my way 13-26 February 2026 to teach an intensive theological subject to pastors and students in Myanmar and Nepal. The subject I will be lecturing on is one ITEM's flagship courses: Reformed Worship & Sacraments. I will be teaming up with my long-time USA based colleague, Dr. John Owen Butler who will be teaching Old Testament Biblical Theology in Yangon, and Eschatology in Hetauda.

Our target audience is primarily pastors, elders and student trainees for ministry. Yangon has a good academic approach to our teaching, while our work in Hetauda will be more focused on rural pastors with much less training. Myanmar and Nepal were only recently added to ITEM's approved fields for teaching and we are still in the early stages of laying the brick work for ongoing training that will produce ministers and missionaries from these two countries into surrounding cities and countries. John and I are both Regional Directors for ITEM and we are eager to see the development of the theological institutions in these two countries to embrace Reformed Theology and pass it on.

I would love for you to partner with me as John and I get on our flights to go. We covet your prayers as that which is the spiritual groundwork that will open the doors of these two countries to the ministries we seek to bring in power of the Gospel of Jesus. We are both volunteers and have to seek funding to meet expenses. To that end, I would ask you to consider helping me meet my costs. They include several flights to get to my destination and back, flight insurance, medical inoculations, visas, food, and hotels (on the first leg) and layovers.

In return for your faithful support, I will try to write a journal each day I am on the field that you will be able to read here on this page. I shall also endeavour to send pictures and videos as I can, to keep you abreast of things and hopefully in your prayers.

Between now and the time I depart, I will also update you all with how plans are going and give further insight to our task and prayer points.

I look forward to your partnership in Christian ministry together.

In the Lamb who was slain...

Scott Kroeger
