Prayer Mountain in the clouds

Countless Christians have enjoyed the cool, crisp Genting Highlands air and been blessed by the cosy facilities at PeaceHaven, a campsite owned by FGA KL.

Bigger blessings are now in store, especially for those who seek a secluded place to pray at a higher altitude. On April 9, FGA KL officially opened the prayer closets at a service attended by church leaders and staff from NECF Malaysia. The prayer closets are a fulfillment of a prophecy given by Rev. Cho Yonggi's mother-in-law when she visited the church in 1995 that God would give them a "prayer "mountain".

The new mini-chapel has 14 closets with a few more at the basement of the retreat centre. The church also intends to turn the existing bungalow at the campsite into a prayer centre.

These new facilities are opened to the Body of Christ nationwide and come at a critical juncture in our nation's history where intense, continuous prayers are much needed.

For more information about the prayer closets, please contact FGA KL.

Pastors' Fellowship to Collaborate with Schools

Efforts to bridge schools with churches that are concerned with the welfare of schools and students within their community got a kick-off in April with a meeting between teachers from a secondary school and the Kuala Lumpur North Region Pastors' Fellowship.

The meeting was initiated by as part of its nation-building efforts within the education sphere.

At the meeting, moderated by NECF Prayer, Evangelism and Discipleship Executive Andy Chi, several matters were discussed as to how Christians and churches may help and promote the welfare of schools in their community.

Some of the challenges highlighted are:

1. The shrinking number of and ageing Christian teachers and principals in the local schools;
2. Reluctance of Christian parents to release their children into the teaching profession;
3. Reluctance of Christian teachers to take up the position of school principal;
4. Drop in number of students taking BK for SPM;
5. Mission schools' principal position being left vacant or filled by non-Christian principals;
6. Government policies that marginalise mission schools; and
7. The constant efforts needed to promote the welfare of mission schools.

On what support the pastors' fellowship could give, the school asked for prayer and other practical support for the school. The meeting concluded with prayers by the pastors and a visit around the school premises.

All Fired Up

6th NECF Tamil Pastors and Leaders Conference

Tamil churches in Malaysia are geared up to serve in the power of the Holy Spirit after the recent Tamil Pastors and Leaders Conference in March.

Organised by the NECF Malaysia Tamil Commission, the conference at Wisma Eagles Subang Jaya saw an unprecedented turnout of over 970 delegates who came from more than 181 churches.

In his messages on "The Man after God's Heart", conference speaker Dr Ezekiah Francis (of Berachah Prophetic Ministries of India) inspired the delegates to have the heart of God.

His wife, Benita, proved an equally powerful preacher and shared on deliverance from bondages and curses. The Spirit of God hovered over the meetings to release His anointing and power and many delegates found release and were restored to a new sense of confidence and joy.

The conference brought a new dimension of power and anointing into the life of the Tamil churches. A great revival is on the thresholds for the Tamil churches in Malaysia. And they are ready to serve in the power of the Spirit.
