Who says intercessors are solemn, sombre people, always holed up in the closet fasting and praying? At the recent NECF Malaysia year-end thanksgiving tea for prayer leaders and intercessors, they feasted and frolicked as their gesture of thanks to God for taking them through the year 2001.
It was also a time of meeting up with prayer leaders mainly from churches throughout the Klang Valley. The tea, held at the newly-built Wisma FGA in Kuala Lumpur, was attended by about 200 intercessors from various denominations including Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian and Assemblies of God.
The initial icebreaker games ‘loosened up’ the participants and set the gay mood for the rest of the afternoon. A time of joyful worship followed, after which the commission chairman, Grace Hee, gave the exhortation and a preview of the forthcoming year’s programme. Two persons then shared testimonies on how the prayer initiatives introduced by the commission had led them into a deeper communion with God.
The afternoon ended with, as expected, a time of intercession. As the participants made their exit, there was definitely a greater sense of intimacy with one another and attachment to the prayer network.
