The English-speaking brothers continued to press on despite the slow response to their labour. During the Jan.-May 2004 period, a total of 83 souls came to accept Jesus not counting 443 souls saved in 2003 and excluding the joint bi-lingual banquets with the Chinese-speaking brothers. Let them not become tired; for when they do not give up, the time will come when they will reap a great harvest. The following were their recent endeavours:

A total of 192 registered for the second Financial Freedom (FF) seminar co-hosted with Calvary Church, Kuala Lumpur. It is a ten-consecutive-Saturdays seminar with the first session on 8 May 2004. The FGBMF provided the use of the video tapes and the facilitator, Bro Wong Hong Meng while Calvary Church undertook all the administrative and organisation part of the seminar including the physical facilities. Working together enabled both parties to put to optimum use their resources and not to mention the benefits of networking with local churches. After the first FF seminar last year it was realised that facilitation was necessary to clarify some of the hard-to-accept principles and relating them to local experiences. The discussions had been most lively and interesting. From the feedback and comments received, the series of lessons from the Institute of Basic Life Principles had been a tremendous blessing, dispelling long-held false financial concepts and imparting real financial freedom from the biblical perspective. Those who think they are already financially astute are ones who really need to attend a course of such a nature.

On the glorious day of 24 March 2004, the FGB PJ Damansara Perdana (English) Chapter was officially launched by our National Treasurer, Bro. Lee Gee Koon. Over sixty people included representatives from various FGBMF Chapters, guests and friends turned up to give their support and God was glorified. The event started with songs and worship onto the Lord, prayers and followed by speeches by various FGBMF members. The presence of the Lord was powerful and real on that day. A delicious 5-course lunch with fruits and drinks was also provided after the meeting. Everyone had a good time fellowshipping and getting to know each other better. The Chapter meets every Wednesday from 1 to 2 pm at 5-3, Jln PJU 8/3B, Damansara Perdana, 47820 Petaling Jaya and for further information, please contact Bro. Don Kawa (Chapter President) at 012-2352013.

On 27 May 2004, another English chapter, KL Bukit Indah Chapter was inaugurated. Bro. Wong Hong Meng (representing the National Board) and Bro. Fong Hoong Heng (Central Region Director) together with other group co-ordinators and chapter presidents attended the launch. There was also great support from various chapter members.

Bro. Fong Hoong Heng gave the keynote message and the chapter was officially launched by Bro. Hong Meng. The chapter comes under Region 9 and Bro. Paul Jeyasingham (012- 3192375) is the Chapter President. They meet every Thursday 1-2 pm at 28 Jalan Selera 1, Taman Bukit Indah, KL.

We also thank the Lord for sending His servants to minister to us in various chapter meetings during the past few months. Among them were Bro. Dong Campoy of the Phillippines, Rev Kevin Chua of Singapore, Ps Kulpall Singh of Australia and local speakers like Bro. Lee Chee Loi, Ps Peter Jebasegran, just to name a few.
