<strong>INTERNATIONAL</strong> <strong>CHRISTIAN</strong> <strong>MISSION</strong> (<strong>ICM</strong>) <strong>MALAYSIA</strong><br />

<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 />

support for <strong>ICM</strong>.<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 />

Ps Lizun (fourth from left) is the pastor looking after Gua<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 />

Rossi and family also<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
