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 />

“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 />

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

“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

1. Nepal<br />
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 />
