<strong>Monthly</strong> Praise & Prayer Letter (April 2011)<br />
The Ministry<br />
Our Vision: To participate in the Great Commission by partnering with local churches and mission<br />
organisations to evangelise and make disciples of all nations. (Mark 16:15)<br />
Our Mission: We are committed to partnering with churches and Christian organisations in end-time harvest<br />
evangelism and discipleship by providing <strong>ICM</strong> Bible School In A Briefcase (BSIB) materials, training<br />
seminars and hands-on mission field experiences through short-term missions. (Matt 28:19)<br />
Dear Pastors/Prayer & Mission Partners/Friends,<br />
We thank you for all your prayers and support rendered towards the ministry. Your prayers and support has<br />
contributed much to all that have been carried out for the glory of God. We covet your continuous prayer<br />

It was an interesting trip for a group of nine<br />
who travelled about six hours from Kuala<br />
Lumpur to meet the Temiar people in the<br />
vicinity of Gua Musang. Praise the Lord for His<br />
leading and protection upon the team even<br />
though some were facing resistance and some<br />
feeling discomfort throughout the trip.<br />
When we arrived at the first village, Kampung<br />
Depak, the team ministered to approximately 30<br />
children and 10 adults. Later in the evening,<br />
dinner was prepared by the team for the<br />
villagers with the help of the locals.<br />
The next morning, the team set off for Gua<br />
Musang Presbyterian Church to meet with the<br />
Orang Asli youths who are studying in the town.<br />
There were about 40 of them attended the<br />
service. At the end of the service, the team<br />
prayed for the students individually.<br />
After lunch, the team headed to Teluk Untung<br />
where the people there are banned from having<br />
church services. Upon our arrival, some children<br />
instinctively swept the floor of the church which<br />
was once actively having meetings with over 80<br />
children. Now, the church can hardly meet for<br />
worship due to threat and pressure from the<br />
authority.

The abandoned church building in Teluk Untung Team praying for the church of Teluk Untung<br />
On the way leaving Gua Musang, the<br />
team paid a visit to Rossi’s family<br />
who stay near to the main road. Many<br />
mission teams from both local and<br />
overseas visited and stayed at their<br />
self-build house. Though many times<br />
men from other faith persuaded<br />
Rossi to leave Christianity, he chose<br />
to stand firm on his belief.<br />

Musang church.<br />
“It was upsetting to see the church<br />
building of Teluk Untung being<br />
abandoned due to threat and<br />
prohibition to use it by the<br />
authority. We can no longer hear<br />
praises in the sanctuary which was<br />
meant for the people to worship God<br />
freely.” Low Thean Fatt<br />

face pressure from the<br />
government concerning<br />
entitlement of native land<br />
in which he is staying<br />
Before leaving, team prays and<br />
gives words of encouragement to<br />
the mothers and their children<br />
“This was my first time to go<br />
for missions. I was blessed<br />
and felt sad at the same time<br />
because of the persecution in<br />
Gua Musang. We need to<br />
bring this matter to others and<br />
pray for the church so that the<br />
church can be the light there.<br />
Because of this trip, I can<br />
understand Matthew 28:19<br />
and it’s an encouragement to<br />
me. Though I did not feel well<br />
during the travelling, and I<br />
had the thought of not coming<br />
for any trip any longer<br />
because of the rough ride. Yet,<br />
I reached home safely. If there<br />
is any opportunity, by God’s<br />
grace, I can still go for<br />
mission trips. Hallelujah.”<br />
Lee Moi Chu<br />
“This trip had some impact on all of us. We<br />
thought that the Orang Aslis’ life has improved up<br />
to this day, but our thought was proven wrong<br />
when we were in Gua Musang.” Lim Kim Yu
