Global Connections
Scripture Union (SU) operates in 120 countries, in the regions of Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, the Former Soviet Republics and the Pacific. In some countries there are more than one movement such as Switzerland (French speaking and German speaking), or Australia (where each state has a separate movement.) Each movement has a strong commitment to expressing the aims of SU in ways appropriate to each context. As the world becomes increasingly globally connected, we have opportunities for mutual support, sharing, and partnership within Scripture Union and with other agencies. In 2012, SU around the world embarked on a global initiative, ‘Living Hope’, to define global priorities for ministry and leadership development. In order to fulfil this and to be better positioned to operate in a globalised setting, major structural changes were agreed upon, the first since 1960. Regions were dissolved and replaced by Community Groups and a Global Board.
Today, SU remains committed to working with churches to make God’s Good News known to children, young people and families and to helping people of all ages meet God through the Bible and prayer. SU Singapore is part of the Scripture Union family in Asia. We are a companion country mentoring SU entities in Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam (HCMC). There are now many varieties of ministry around the world. Our vision is that, as people of all ages come to faith in Christ, they will then be the means of transformation in their communities, the nations, and the world.

Scripture Union Myanmar
Ministry Update 2026
Despite the ongoing challenges and instability in Myanmar, Scripture Union Myanmar (SUM) has continued its ministry and outreach by God’s grace.
One area of continued ministry has been the Children’s Ministry Teachers’ Training, which is conducted every two months to equip teachers with practical skills and biblical foundations for serving children.
In 2026, four training sessions were conducted:
1. Teaching and Revising Scripture Memory Verses — 20 January
2. Effective Bible Teaching for Children — 17 March
3. Child Health and First Aid Training — 19 May
4. Gospel Sharing and Christian Life for Children — 13 July
Each training session accommodated approximately 100–110 teachers. While there were more teachers who wished to participate, the number of participants had to be limited due to venue capacity and available funding. A registration contribution of 1,500 MMK was collected from each participant.
SUM also conducted a one-day Youth Leaders’ Training entitled “Youth and Scripture.” The programme brought together 254 young people from different denominations for a day of biblical teaching, encouragement and worship. The gathering provided an opportunity for young people to deepen their engagement with Scripture and to be encouraged in their Christian faith.
Digital Daily Devotional Ministry
In response to the changing needs and opportunities for ministry, SUM also launched a new Digital Daily Devotional Ministry on 1 January 2026.
Through this initiative, devotional content is prepared by a small team of writers and published on Facebook with the support of a technical staff member. The ministry has enabled SUM to reach a wider audience through social media and has received encouraging feedback from those engaging with the devotional materials.
The ministry currently provides an honorarium of 10,000 MMK (approximately S$3) per devotional post, while 100,000 MMK (approximately S$30) per month** is allocated for technical support.
SUM hopes to continue developing this digital ministry as it provides an accessible way to encourage and strengthen people in their spiritual lives, particularly during a difficult and uncertain season.
Prayer and Partnership
Scripture Union Singapore is grateful for the opportunity to stand alongside Scripture Union Myanmar and support the continuation of its ministry.
Please continue to pray for the work of SUM, especially for the teachers and young people being equipped through these programmes, for wisdom and strength for the ministry team, and for the continued reach of the Digital Daily Devotional Ministry.
We thank God for the ways He continues to open opportunities for ministry in Myanmar, even amid challenging circumstances, and we are grateful to all who continue to remember Myanmar and SUM in prayer.
Scripture Union Singapore is committed to
Leading the young to know Christ,
explore the Bible & grow in faith.
Cambodia Updates!
Here's a glimpse into our Student Dormitory Ministry in Cambodia this July! 🇰🇭
It has been a joy to spend time with the students through fellowship, discipleship, worship, and everyday moments together. We thank God for every conversation, every smile, and every opportunity to share His love.
Thank you to everyone who prayed, served, and supported this ministry. Please continue to keep the students, local leaders, and the work in Cambodia in your prayers—that lives would be transformed and Christ would be glorified.
"Let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth." — 1 John 3:18
CAMBODIA
Scripture Union Cambodia touching the lives of 300 children and 40 adults, most who are pre-believers living in Trawbek, where currently there is no church presence.
Vietnam
Scripture Union Vietnam (HCMC) organizes Youth Camps for youth leaders in the country. These are opportunities for forging new bonds through worship, prayer and team building. One of the key highlights in such camps, would be a forum to discuss how to build Youth Ministries in local churches. This is with one mission in mind: to reveal more of God and His goodness and to share the Gospel.
Fundraising
Scripture Union Vietnam aims to create a curriculum that is inclusive, informative and engaging for all children regardless of their background or abilities. Our hope is to provide a safe, fun, interacting and nurturing environment where children can learn about Jesus and grow in their faith. To make this vision a reality , we need your help. Any amount you can give will make difference.
Myanmmar
Scripture Union Singapore has been partnering Scripture Union Myanmar in developing the Children’s Community Clubs outreach project. Many have heard the Gospel through this activity. By faith, we will continue to assist SU Myanmar in expanding the Children’s Community Clubs in the regional deltas. We have also provided the "Certificate in Practical Children’s Ministry" training to their ministry workers, to enhance their knowledge and skills to reach many for Jesus.
By the grace of God, Scripture Union Myanmar has started using technology for their Children’s Community Clubs. Hardware has been received, to support connectivity for virtual online training. All glory to God for His provision and support through prayer from the Scripture Union family.
Thailand
Scripture Union Thailand provides training for the Christian community for the outreach of the Gospel. Here we have a group of Sunday School teachers receiving their Certificates for Sunday School Teachers Training. Above are parents, in a parenting training session conducted by SU Thailand. Parents are taught and encouraged to raise families with Biblical based values.
