NECF Malaysia contributed RM100,000 to the New Straits Times’ Lebanon Fund in August to help the victims of the Israel-Lebanon war.
The money was drawn from the 2005 40-day Prayer and Fast and Charity Fund. In presenting the cheque, NECF Secretary-General Rev. Wong Kim Kong said, “People can be a little sectarian in their approach and philosophy, but we should help anybody in need. This is especially true in the multi-racial Malaysian context.”
”Giving to the suffering should transcend colour, creed and race, for everyone is God’s creation and equally loved by Him,” NECF said in its press statement which also expressed Malaysian evangelicals’ deep sorrow over the war which has caused many deaths.
