Serving beyond the Church

Serving beyond the Church

 

A NEW book published by NECF Malaysia aims to inspire Christians to discover their vocations in any of the seven spheres of influence: the Church (religion), government and politics, the arts, media, family, business and education.

An Evangelical Footprint: Leaving a Spiritual Legacy for Future Generations is a compilation of 43 short interviews with Malaysian Christians from evangelical member churches who are prominent leaders in those spheres. "They present to us the challenges of marrying faith with the realities of daily work and life. Their footprints will be a spiritual legacy for generations to come," outgoing NECF Secretary-General Samuel Ang said in the book's Introduction.

The book is divided into seven sections. Each section carries a feature article exploring the history and present state of evangelicals' contribution to nation building in a particular realm. It is notable that the section on "Church" has the largest number of interviewees but there are far fewer in the sections on education, government and public service and the media. This can give much food for thought about the way we define "ministry" and "Christian service" beyond the walls of the Church.

The book was launched in conjunction with NECF's 30th Anniversary and Biennial General Meeting on 12 May 2012. Price: RM5 per copy. Place orders with NECF.
