Experience

God’s Call to Ministry

Following his conversion in March 1998, Peter developed a heart for the ministry and began serving as a young Sunday school teacher at a local church in a remote village in Chin State. Two years later, in 2000, he decided to pursue theological education in Yangon to prepare himself for the ministry.

In 2002, during his theological studies, Peter discovered God’s purpose for his life. He was involved in part-time ministry as a Student Librarian at a theological seminary, as a youth worker at a local church in Yangon, and he also went on short-term mission trips to various parts of Myanmar.

In 2007, Peter discerned his God-given purpose for Agape Vision to glorify God by catalyzing transformational development through living out the Great Commandment and fulfilling the Great Commission in everyday life.  

In 2009, Peter founded Agape Vision in pursuit of God’s calling on his life. Peter’s God-given calling to ministry was first confirmed by his granduncle, Rev. Dr. Robert Thawng Hlai, the late founding minister and Senior Pastor of Chin Baptist Church of Yangon, through the laying on of hands to set him apart for God’s purpose.

In February 2018, after nine years of full-time ministry, Peter was officially ordained to the ministry with ecclesiastical authority to perform ministerial functions and official recognition of his God-given calling to ministry and God’s choice of leadership through the laying on of hands by Senior Leaders from Myanmar Gospel Baptist Convention, Gospel Baptist Churches of USA Convention, and the Faculty of Gospel Baptist Bible Seminary, a biblically recognized group of church leaders who have the authority to ordain men to the ministry.

An ordained minister is a leader called by God and qualified by God to serve the Church and glorify God. – Peter T. Mang

Entrepreneurial Journey

Peter is called to entrepreneurship to glorify God by catalyzing transformative innovation and missional entrepreneurship ecosystems that transform people, create value and wealth, build flourishing communities, and accelerate holistic transformation in Myanmar and beyond.

In March 2007, Peter founded the Agape company and began his professional career in recruitment from humble beginnings. The company created authentic ministry opportunities to engage the workplace as a platform for holistic transformation. It operated for over two years and closed in June 2009, since God had led him in a divine direction to fulfill a God-given purpose for Agape Vision.

In March 2018, Peter founded Peter Mang Company as a private family enterprise, and it was officially incorporated on 4 March 2019. Peter Mang Company Ltd. was later restructured as an incorporated parent company of Agape Group.

Business As Mission Myanmar is a community of Christians passionate about missional business committed to bringing creative and sustainable solutions to local challenges and accelerating the growth and impact of business as mission movement, engaging the four constituencies of business, academia, missions, and church in Myanmar.

Over the years, Peter founded and co-founded nine thriving diversified subsidiaries, including Agape Education Services, Agape LIFE Solutions, Agape Startup Ventures, Agape Family Services, Agape Family Investments, Agape Lifeway Consulting, Counseling, Coaching, and Mentoring, Agape Crochet Creation, Agape Digital Services, and Agape Freelance Services.

As of 10 March 2026, Agape Group was duly restructured as a privately held conglomerate of missional enterprises dedicated to glorifying God by catalyzing transformational development through accelerated value creation, inclusive wealth creation, and holistic missional impact.

Peter has trained, coached, and mentored missional entrepreneurs, covocational and bivocational ministers, and Christian business owners, empowering entrepreneurs and fostering sustainable growth and scalability in micro and small businesses.

In June 2009, Peter founded Agape Vision to glorify God by catalyzing transformational development to accelerate the fulfillment of the Great Commission.

In pursuit of his God-given purpose for Agape Vision and God’s calling on his life, Peter founded Agape Mission in 2009, Agape Church Planting in 2011, Agape Discipleship in 2013, Agape Entrepreneurship and Agape Foundation in 2015, Agape Resources in 2016, Agape Leadership, Agape University and Agape Children and Youth in 2017, and Agape Group in 2020. These multifaceted strategic initiatives were merged into Agape Initiatives in 2018, and than integrited into Agape Vision Global in March 2024 by adapting to the original name and purpose.

Evangelism, Discipleship, and Mission

Peter initially started Agape Mission in September 2009 as an evangelistic ministry with 40 Days of Prayer and Half-day Fasting from humble beginnings, and has grown into a missional movement.

As a movement catalyst, Peter started out by doing evangelistic outreach from 2009 to 2011, and then started a simple church planting movement in 2011, began offering short-term mission trips to parts of the country in 2012, and launched a mission intensive in 2014.

He then created the Gospel Outreach Team (GO-Team) in 2013 and launched an intensive discipleship training in 2016, and later integrated it into the School of Evangelism and Discipleship at Agape University.

Since the establishment of Agape Mission in September 2009, God has implanted in Rev. Peter T. Mang a vision for a healthy church in every community in Myanmar. Prior to serving as a church planter, he served as an itinerant Evangelist, sharing the gospel with unreached people in remote villages and cities across Ayeyarwady Region.

Church Planting and Multiplication

In September 2011, Peter founded Agape Church Planting as a church planting ministry initiative with the purpose of multiplying healthy disciples, churches, and leaders in every community in Myanmar. He then began pursuing God’s call to church planting and planted house churches in Yangon.

Since launching the church planting initiative in Hlaingthayar in September 2011, in Insein in April 2016, in Mingalardon in October 2022, and in Mayangone in January 2026, they have started over 20 disciple groups, simple churches, or house churches across the Yangon Region.

Myanmar Church Planting Network is a collaborative network of churches, organisations, and leaders that passionately seek to glorify God by providing gospel access to unreached people groups through the multiplication of healthy disciples, churches, and leaders in every community in Myanmar.

It envisions a simple church movement that adheres to the biblical church model and accelerates the fulfillment of the Great Commission. Its mission is to empower healthy leaders to grow healthy churches that engage, develop, and empower everyone to multiply healthy disciples, churches, and leaders everywhere.

Strategic Church Planting Initiative

In 2020, Peter led the formation of the Agape Vision 2030, which enacted a strategic vision for the church planting initiative to establish 300 healthy churches among unreached people in Myanmar by the end of 2030.

In February 2023, under the leadership of its founder, Rev. Peter T. Mang, the Leadership Team was formed at Agape Church Planting, and the Agape Vision 2030 was officially started in 2023 and has been extended to Agape Vision 2033.

The strategic church planting initiative passionately seeks to glorify God by creating flourishing communities of fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ through multiplying healthy disciples, churches, and leaders in every community in Myanmar.

It envisions a movement of disciples who make disciples, churches that multiply churches, and leaders who develop leaders to accelerate the fulfillment of the Great Commission in our generation.

Since launching Agape Vision 2033 in February 2023, Agape Church Planting has expanded its strategic church planting initiative to five regions: Yangon Region, Mandalay Region, Naypyidaw Union Territory, Ayeyarwady Region, and Sagaing Region.
