10th May 2003 was an auspicious day for
KL Bangsar Baru Chapter as we embarked on our first mission trip to
the Royal Town of Perak, Kuala Kangsar. The purpose of this trip was
to be a channel of God's blessings to the churches and the church
pastors and leaders in Kuala Kangsar. Our aim was to come along side
by side with church leaders in "small towns" and to
encourage them along the straight and narrow way.

Ministering to the people |
Eight members (including friends of
the Chapter) obeyed the call of the Lord and went in faith. The team
arrived safely and were immediately ushered to a waiting church
leaders assembly for the praise and worship session at the Full Gospel
Assembly (FGA) Kuala Kangsar. The church leaders comprised mainly of
the committee members of the Christian Cemetery Association of Kuala
Kangsar (CCA, KK). Later we were briefed on the purpose of the
formation of CCA, KK and that they had been granted a piece of
cemetery land from the State Government. However, they were unable to
do anything about the land, as they do not have sufficient funds. CCA,
KK needs around RM 30,000 to level the land and fence up the land for
its first phase. A tea reception was sponsored by Bro. Loh Poh Seng (Northern
Region Director) who joined the team later.
Soon after, the team conducted a
"revival meeting" for the saints in Kuala Kangsar at a
combined service at Anglican Church represented by six (6) different
churches from Kuala Kangsar & Sungai Siput, Perak namely Word of
Life Centre, Sungai Siput; Word of Life, Kuala Kangsar; Church of
Resurrection, Kuala Kangsar; Jesus Saves Mission, Kuala Kangsar; Kuala
Kangsar Gospel Hall Chapel and Full Gospel Assembly, Kuala Kangsar. It
was attended by 110 adults and 15 children.
The evening's message was delivered
by Bro. Wong Hong Meng (Central Region
Deputy Director) who also joined the team. He challenged them to trust
in the ways of the Lord and not on their own understanding and to
expect great things from the Lord.
The evening service was closed with a
word of prayer and followed with a fellowship meal for all who
attended the service. Everyone was so joyful and blessed with the
message and with an expectation of great and exciting times that will
be coming to their town.
The next day, before the break of
dawn, the team gathered for the morning's devotion. After breakfast
the team was divided into 3 sub-teams for ministry. Bro Wong Hong Meng
led a team to Church of Resurrection, KK (Anglican Church), Bro
Matthew shared his personal testimony with a message by Bro James
Yeong. Bro Anthony Leong led another team to Full Gospel Assembly, KK,
where Bro Chu Kia Yen testified and a message by Bro Rudy Wong. Bro Oo
Chin Lee led a third team to Word of Life, Sungai Siput, where Bro
Daniel O'Neil Rugu testified and message was brought by Bro Loh Poh
Seng.

The reports from the team were
encouraging and the people of Kuala Kangsar were blessed by this trip.
Indeed, we believe that the team members were blessed as well and many
of the team members could not wait for another trip and have
"registered" for the next trip.
Praise the Lord. |
