Pastors' fellowship gathering in Kuantan


Some of the Kuantan pastors and leaders in worship, and intercession for the nation.

 

The Kuantan Pastors' Fellowship and NECF met on 30 March for briefing on current issues concerning religious liberty and for corporate prayer. There was a good turnout of about 40 pastors from evangelical churches and a few mainline churches.

NECF Secretary-General Eugene Yapp briefed them on issues concerning the raid and seizure of Malay and Iban bibles at the Bible Society Malaysia office on 2 January, as well as the state laws that ban the use of certain words. Yapp informed the pastors of the NECF position on such laws, which is that they are unconstitutional.

 

In the evening of the same day, the group met again at Petra Centre church in Kuantan, the church of NECF Council Member Elder Thomas Lim. The youth of the church led in a time of heartfelt worship. Pastors from different churches then led the corporate prayer and there were moments of tearful repentance and crying out to the Lord.

NECF Prayer Commission Executive Secretary Pastor Karen Tan spoke on Ezra 7:10, underscoring the need to observe the Word of God, in addition to just studying it, and to teach it to others.

'Observing the Word and teaching it to others concerns our actions. We must go beyond repentance to action," she said.
