NECF Malaysia Secretary-General Rev. Wong Kim Kong said it was a sheer miracle that Malaysia was selected to host this international Christian event when there were several other more developed countries bidding for that privilege.

Altogether, 108 nations worldwide belong to the WEF family and come May, over 600 evangelical leaders from all corners of the world will be making their way to Kuala Lumpur for the General Assembly, which is held every four years. The meeting is significant in that the participants are top evangelical leaders representing their countries.

The gathering this time aims to strategically prepare evangelicals to respond to the challenges of the third millennium. Each day during the General Assembly, participants will explore a different theme— Eccelesiology, Wholistic Ministry, Globalisation and Leadership Development. The sessions are interactive to allow individual nations the opportunity to respond creatively to Christ’s call.

Participants will also get to hear some world-renown speakers, among whom are George Verwer, founder of Operation Mobilisation and Dr Clive Calver, president of World Relief.

Malaysian church leaders and pastors are urged to participate in this historic event to be held from May 4 to 10. Admission to the day meetings held at J.W. Marriott Hotel is by registration only while the night meetings (free admission) at MCA Hall are open to the Christian public.
