Praise God that all went well with this conference! It can<br />

never be done without His provision and providence.<br />

ICM Malaysia would like to thank all the participants for<br />

coming along to learn more and get equipped in their own<br />

ministries; to all speakers for giving us the insights and<br />

encouragement to the people; not forgetting all the<br />

sponsors, supporters and intercessors for making this<br />

conference a success.<br />

God bless you abundantly.<br />

ICM Malaysia held a conference a few years ago, but this<br />

time around seeing the need among the Bahasa speaking<br />

churches, we came to agreement to have one with the<br />

theme based on 1 Corinthians 4:15, “Even though you have<br />

ten thousands guardians in Christ, you do not have many<br />

fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the<br />

gospel.”<br />

To speak on “Father’s Heart”, we had invited Ps Jaap<br />

Dieleman from the Netherlands as the theme speaker, along<br />

with Bro Khoo Hin Hiong and Dr Wong Hong Meng who<br />

spoke on “Team Building” and “Managing Church Finances”<br />

respectively.<br />

A total of 117 people from 36 churches and organisations,<br />

and different backgrounds, came from all over Malaysia at<br />

Peacehaven to listen to the Father’s Heart. They are the<br />

people involved in Bahasa ministries among the natives,<br />

A moment of reaching to God and everyone is being prayed<br />

for on the last day<br />

especially the Orang Aslis, and Bumiputras from Sabah &<br />

Sarawak. Among them are Ps Pakpahan and his friends<br />

from Sumatra, Indonesia.<br />

On the first night, Bro Edwin opened the conference with a<br />

sharing of the work of ICM and that through the ministry of<br />

ICM, hundreds of churches had been planted by ordinary<br />

people via networking with their churches. He also<br />

challenged the pastors not to see the incapabilities of their<br />

members but to disciple and send them out, like Jesus did.<br />

Bro Edwin then closed the night with a prayer that all<br />

would have the Father’s Heart in these last days.<br />

After a time of praise and worship and breakfast, the<br />

second day session started off with Dr Wong Hong Meng,<br />

speaking on “Managing Church Finances”. He made it clear<br />

that the finances for ministry and church is a separate<br />

entity from personal and family finances, regardless the<br />

size of ministry and church and whether it’s an individual<br />

ministry.<br />

In the afternoon, Bro Khoo took over with a brief sharing on<br />

the relationship between a father and a son. He shared that<br />

a leader is unable to love the sheep under his guard without<br />

first understanding and experiencing the Father’s Love<br />

personally. At night, Bro Khoo got the people to visualize<br />

the importance of teamwork in the work of God’s Kingdom.<br />

He stressed that each team member has a role to play in<br />

order to have multiplication.<br />
