The N-Team
Rev. Andy Chi joined NECF Malaysia on January 1, 2010, as Executive Secretary for Prayer, Evangelism and Discipleship. Andy has been actively involved with the work of NECF, having served in our Prayer Commission.
With his wealth of experience as a pastor for 20 years, he brings the much needed connection with pastors' fellowships. He is passionate for both the prayer and evangelism ministries, which will be two of NECF's main thrusts for 2010.
Andy will be part of the NECF Nation-Building Team comprising Eugene Yapp and Lucrece Loo (Executive Secretaries - Research and Prayer respectively).
The team will be doing vision casting on the NECF Prayer Vision, together with strategies for nation building. They will be available to speak in churches and provide updates on the latest happenings within the Malaysian Church and the nation.
Meanwhile, Lucrece, who joined NECF last February, will continue her key role in networking with intercessors and preparing Prayer Alerts to churches.
With the launch of the Prayer Vision, she becomes the contact person to collate reports and testimonies to encourage the Malaysian Church.
NECF Malaysia Prayer Vision
Christians all over Malaysia engaging in prayer for the Malaysian society (1) within their local churches' corporate prayer meetings and (2) through Prayer Cells (PCs). This is the NECF Prayer Vision in line with NECF's nation-building agenda - Transforming the Nation through the Local Church.
What are Prayer Cells?
While the local church prayer gatherings are held in the church, PCs are groups of Christians in every sphere of society coming together to intentionally and regularly pray outside their churches - in places such as homes, schools, campuses, business premises, offices and factories.
The focus of PCs is to manifest the Kingdom of God in the world through concerted and intentional prayers. As Christians pray together in PCs, the power of the Kingdom of God will be released and established, thus bringing transformation to every sector and institution of society.
PCs connect believers and empower them to be agents of transformation to the nation and the world.
PCs also sensitise, mobilise and move believers towards fulfilling their calling and purpose to bringing transformation to the nation and the world through the 'Greatest Commandment' and the 'Great Commission'.
How can Prayer Cells benefit the Local Church and Society?
PCs imbibe believers with a sense of urgency and a spirit of transformational prayer. This will lead believers to pray intentionally and strategically, thus benefiting the Church and the nation as a whole.
It must be categorically stated that PCs do not substitute the local church's prayer meetings or cell groups. The local church must continue to encourage, nurture and equip believers for focused and intentional prayer.
However, when Christians pray together in intentional and strategic intercession in their local church as well as PCs, it will lead to actions of influence and outreach in the nation and the world.
On NECF's part, it will continue to instilll a sense of urgency for His Kingdom and foster a spirit of prayer in the local church.
NECF through the services of the Prayer Commission will provide consultation, facilitation, assistance, networking, training and other services to churches and individuals who are interested to initiate PCs within their spheres and realms of influence for the purposes mentioned above.
NECF invites believers to participate in the PCs movement. For enquiries and sign-up, please drop an email at prayer.ll@necf.org.my |
