<strong>INTERNATIONAL</strong> <strong>CHRISTIAN</strong> <strong>MISSION</strong> (<strong>ICM</strong>) <strong>MALAYSIA</strong><br />
<strong>Monthly</strong> Praise & Prayer Letter (May 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 />
Five years ago, a Memorandum of Agreement<br />
(MOA) was concluded between International<br />
Christian Mission (<strong>ICM</strong>) and Police Regional<br />
Office 1 (PRO1), and between <strong>ICM</strong> and Police<br />
Regional Training School 1 (RTS1).<br />
Since 2007, <strong>ICM</strong> has been conducting a four-day<br />
seminar in every Police Provincial Office in<br />
Region 1 and at RTS1. Graduation is held on the<br />
last day of every seminar. There are at least eight<br />
Moral Recovery Programmes (MRP) done<br />
annually in all the Police Provincial Offices and<br />
RTS1.<br />
At present there are over 2,000 men/women in<br />
uniform who have heard the Gospel of our Lord<br />
Jesus Christ, and many of them received Christ<br />
personally as Lord and Savior. Some of them are<br />
now attending Evangelical, Pentecostal and Born<br />
Again churches.<br />
For three consecutive years (2008-2010) PRO1<br />
received awards as the best Police Regional Office<br />
all over the Philippines. All the previous Police<br />
Regional Directors recognized that the MRP<br />
spearheaded by <strong>ICM</strong> contributed to their success.<br />

Bro Dorai speaks about “Great Achievements<br />
are born out from Great Attitudes” while<br />
being interpreted by Bro Ernest<br />
This was the first time that <strong>ICM</strong> had the privilege go<br />
to Kampung Pecah Batu, Slim River, situated about<br />
20 minutes from Tanjung Malim town. It was a timely<br />
visit as the pastors ministering the area are already<br />
started using <strong>ICM</strong> materials but needed help in how<br />
to organize the BSIB teachings.<br />
With much enthusiasm, Ps Stewart and wife<br />
transported youths and children especially, from<br />
nearby villages, namely Kg Gentung, Kg Gentai, Kg Sg<br />
Tras, Kg Sg Jang and Kg Kerling, to Kg Pecah Batu to<br />
attend the BSIB seminar led by Ps Peter. Many<br />
questions were asked, discussed and clarified.<br />
There are still many needs among the villagers, such<br />
as the lack of Christian literature in Bahasa, training<br />
and discipleship as well as the upgrading of the<br />
various facilities in the villages.<br />
The police trainees being prayed for<br />
at the end of the service<br />
Bro Dorai was invited to speak at the<br />
Worship Service & Farewell Dinner to<br />
Police Trainees from Sarawak at the FGA<br />
(Malaysian & Indonesian) Malindo Church,<br />
Langkawi. The police trainees who are<br />
mostly from East Malaysia, just finished<br />
their training at the Police Academy in<br />
Pulau Langkawi.<br />

Approximately 50 adults and children from different villages were<br />

and Bible story.<br />
Some of the<br />
children don’t go to<br />
school but they are<br />
willing to learn and<br />
instinctively copy<br />
all the English<br />
songs learnt.<br />
At Saturday night,<br />
we had a summary of<br />
the seminar. The<br />
participants were<br />
divided into groups<br />
to discuss and then<br />
share their<br />
afterthoughts.<br />
It ended with a<br />
prayer session.<br />

understanding a deeper meaning in missions.<br />

Some of the Orang Asli members are from the first batch of <strong>ICM</strong> BSIB<br />
graduates back in 2004 when Ps Japalus from Sabah was pastoring<br />
the villages in Gopeng.
“We always have people<br />
or missions teams from<br />
outside visiting our own<br />
places, but this time<br />
being away from my<br />
home to minister<br />
abroad, was a great<br />
lesson to know God’s<br />
love in missions.”<br />
Bro Mat Anis<br />
Youth Seminar at Christ<br />
Baptist Church, Kuching<br />
“Our trip was running on a<br />
low budget without much<br />
contingency but God truly<br />
had His way to bless us<br />
when some of our <strong>ICM</strong><br />
partners offered to<br />
transport us from Kuching<br />
to Sri Aman. For the second<br />
time, I was amazed when<br />
another group offered to<br />
drive us from Sri Aman to<br />
Sibu. Those trips were<br />
about 3 hours each!”<br />
