Just as God’s mercy is new every morning, it is fresh every year. This year too, NECF organized the staple prayer events that have become known among the Malaysian churches. During the 40-day Fast & Prayer project from July 22 to August 30, Christians and churches prayed for our nation. This was followed by a string of Prayer Conferences at the end of August. (The Chinese Prayer Conference, however, was held earlier in July.) Speakers at the National Prayer Conference (English) on Aug 29-Sept 1 were Dr. Luis Bush and Lai Kheng-Pousson. The theme for the entire prayer affair was “Church – the Transforming
Agent”. The response was, as usual, encouraging. Of special note was the 40-day Fast & Prayer booklet (available in 4 languages) which received much positive feedback. We thank the Lord that the informative content has opened the eyes of Malaysian Christians to the issues around them and the historical roots, and has enabled them to pray intelligently and effectively. The Merdeka Prayer Rally on August 31 drew over a thousand people. Savings from the Fast can be sent to NECF. We shall be devoting this year’s collection to the task of crime prevention as a testimony of our love and concern for Malaysia. Let’s pray to God to bless our nation even more abundantly from our 50th birthday forward. |
