A huge group of 30 people (27 of them<br />

were Ampang Chinese Methodist<br />

Church members) travelled<br />

approximately 2 ½ hours from Kuala<br />

Lumpur to Orang Asli settlements in<br />

Temerloh, ready to serve in whatever<br />

ways they can. But many returned<br />

feeling much blessed by the locals than<br />

they had expected.<br />

Night Service<br />

Sharing testimony<br />

“God really bless Kampung Pian greatly. The people can<br />

sing without referring to the lyrics, even the children! I<br />

have not spoken Bahasa for almost 30 years but when I<br />

shared testimony, to my amazement I was able to speak<br />

well, praise the Lord! ” Mary Chong Le Lee<br />

we can find banana trees in villages<br />

session. The rest went to have a friendly football match with the Orang Asli.<br />

“I thought I was going to teach and bless them but I<br />

personally was so touched. Seeing their love for the Lord<br />

made me reflected on my relationship with God. ”<br />

Kevin and Carol sharing about <strong>ICM</strong><br />

and short term mission trips to<br />

participants<br />

“Participating in the Plan11 and helping out at <strong>ICM</strong> booth<br />

made me think of my role in the missions. As I spoke to the<br />

participants about missions and encouraged them to go, I<br />

was reminded to walk the talk because I never really go<br />

for any mission trip before.” Tiah Wen Lin<br />

Bro Edwin was invited to speak at<br />

River of Christ Church and encourage<br />

the church to be one that sends and<br />

goes for missions. At the end of the<br />

service, there was a session with a<br />

group of young people which would<br />

go to Kajang for a short term mission<br />

trip.<br />

Kevin introducing <strong>ICM</strong> to a participant<br />

Small group discussion<br />

The Plan11 is a mission conference organized by<br />

Malaysian Centre for Global Missions (MCGM) to<br />

motivate and inspire youths towards world evangelism.<br />

This time it was held at Selesa Beach Resort, Port<br />

Dickson from 31 st August to 3 rd September 2011.<br />

<strong>ICM</strong> took part in the Plan11 by setting up booth as mean<br />

to provide information and network with the<br />

participants in missions. Among other organizations<br />

with booths were Strategic Missions Partnerships<br />

(STAMP), Interserve, Worldwide Evangelisation for Christ<br />

(WEC), Malaysian Care, OMF International, Youth With A<br />

Mission (YWAM), Operation Mobilisation (OM), Crisis<br />

Relief Services & Training (CREST), and OpenDoors.<br />

Bro Edwin and Sis Felicia shared<br />

their experience on the mission field<br />

as an encouragement to the youths<br />

The “Circle of<br />

Influence” at<br />

the entrance of<br />

the main hall<br />

was a section<br />

where<br />

participants put<br />

names or places<br />

which they<br />

committed to<br />

reach out to.<br />

Participants exploring the<br />

tent with necessary things<br />

for a short term mission<br />

trip.<br />

“Being a part of the Plan11 was an eye-opening<br />

experience for me. A session with Hannah Yeoh made<br />

me realized that politics is one of the many areas which<br />

God works through despite being thought as a place to<br />

keep out from because of its ption,<br />

manipulation, fear and greed.” Kevin Ngui

From 4 th to 26 th November 2011, Ps Haron Adrian and his team will be training 20 students in a village at<br />

CHEPANG, Nepal. They have a difficult journey on the mountain of Nepal and they have to walk about nine<br />

hours to reach the village. As they walk, they also have to carry <strong>ICM</strong> teaching materials and food for the<br />

camp.<br />

Please pray for their journey mercies and for the <strong>ICM</strong> BSIB training in the mountain region. The locals are<br />

being trained to be the future pastors and Gospel workers in the mountains. Please uphold them in prayer<br />

as they are being equipped and sent back home to bring the message of Jesus to the lost.<br />

* The Chepang people are an ethnic group living southwest of Kathmandu. They are largely animists, although<br />

influenced by Hinduism and Buddhism. For over 1,000 years they have lived in very poor conditions, being<br />

originally nomadic but now living in villages and raising livestock and planting crops.<br />

We need prayers for our missionary couple, Mutoro and Lucy Mokango, who are working among the<br />

pygmies. Mutoro is suffering from malaria, typhoid and hernia. His wife is also expecting. Pray that God will<br />

heal Mutoro and His mighty hands protecting this faithful couple. Pray also for their financial support.<br />

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for your prayers and support for <strong>ICM</strong> and its<br />

mission. To God be the glory and be blessed.<br />
