<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 />

gathered at Kampung Pecah Batu to learn the Word of God<br />

Sis Audrey, Sis<br />

Chrystine and Bro<br />

Adris are teaching<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 />
