WHO WE ARE
Equipping People.
Strengthening Communities.
Multiplying Change.
Myanmar CHE Network (MCHEN) is a collaboration of Myanmar Community Health Evangelism
practitioners committed to helping church planters and community leaders develop sustainable
solutions for their families,ministries, and communities.
WHY MCHEN EXISTS
We Believe People
Can Be Part of the
Solution.
MCHEN was formed in 2024 with a desire to facilitate training and workshops
that equip church planters and community leaders to become more self-
sustaining in their families, ministries, and communities.
Our approach is not simply to provide
assistance.
We seek to help people recognize their own resources, develop
practical
solutions, take responsibility, and equip others to continue the work.
OUR
APPROCH
Listen
Equip
Facilitate
Empower
Multiply
This approach helps move communities from receiving solutions to
becoming
active participants in creating them.
HOW WE WALK ALONGSIDE COMMUNITIES
Our Work Is Guided by Principles, Not Just
Programs.
The way we work is shaped by 12 core values. These values influence how we understand
people, development, leadership, relationships, and community transformation.
OUR CORE VALUES
12 Principles That Shape Our Work
01
Integration of Spiritual & Physical
FOCASUING ON THE WHOLE PERSON
We look at the whole person rather than
separating spiritual needs from physical and
practical needs.
02
Development, Not Relief
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT, NOT
EMERGENCY HELP
We focus on approaches that encourage ongoing development rather than depending only on emergency assistance.
03
Prevention vs. Cure
WELLNESS VS, CURE
We encourage people and communities to focus on prevention and wellbeing, not only on
responding after problems occur.
04
Multiplication
EMPOWERED PEOPLE EMPOWERING OTHERS
We equip people who can use what they learn and empower others to do the same.
05
Sustainable
CONTINUITY / SELF-PERPETUATING
We seek approaches that can continue and
become self-sustaining within families and
communities.
06
Use of Local Resources
ACCESS OF NEARBY ASSETS
We look at the resources and assets that already exist within or around a community.
07
Community Ownership
TAKING RESPONSILIBITY FOR PROBLEMS /
SOLUTIONS
Communities are encouraged to take
responsibility for identifying their challenges and participating in their solutions.
08
Invitation
COMMUNITY REQUESTED ASSISTNCE
We respond to communities that invite and
request assistance, rather than simply bringing
an outside solution to them.
09
Relationship Building
BONDINHG / LINKING / CONNECTING
We value relationships that connect people,
leaders, churches, and communities and create
opportunities to work together.
10
Facilitating, Not Doing
GUIDED DISCOVERY VS. GIVING SOLUTIONS
Rather than simply giving people answers, we
facilitate a process where they can discover
appropriate solutions for themselves.
11
Spirit Led
GOD GUIDED
Our work is guided by God as we seek His
direction in serving people and communities.
12
Mature Christian Leadership
WISE TEACHERS & COUNSELORS
We value mature Christian leaders who can
provide wisdom, teaching, guidance, and counsel to others.
What These Values
Look Like
Our values become meaningful when they are
put into practice.
We Start by Listening
Invitation
We begin with communities that recognize a need and invite assistance.
We Look at What Already Exists
Use of Local Resources
We help identify existing people, skills, relationships, and resources that can become part of
the solution.
We Help People Discover
Facilitating, Not Doing
Instead of simply giving answers, we encourage guided discovery.
Communities Take Responsibility
Community Ownership
People become active participants in addressing their own challenges.
Solutions Continue and Spread
Sustainable + Multiplication
What people learn can continue within their families and communities and be shared with
others.
OUR CHRISTIAN FOUNDATION
Faith Is Part of the Whole Picture.
MCHEN’s approach recognizes that community transformation is not separated from
spiritual life.
Through CHE, evangelism, discipleship, health, and community development can work
together toward holistic transformation.
Our work is therefore shaped by both practical development and our commitment to being spirit led.
