A: I was introduced to the
FGBMF by my father-in-law, the late Bro.J.S.Devaraj. As I was working in
the MUI building, I got involved in the MUI chapter. Initially, I only
attended, then I slowly got involved in various positions before taking
over as the President for a number of years and later as the Field
Representative. The late Dr. Abraham Tong was one of those instrumental in
me taking on the more senior positions.
Q. Can you compare the
spiritual climate then and now?
A: The spiritual climate
was electrifying as we had large gatherings and also we had some greatly
anointed men of God coming our way to minister. The committee that we had
was also so committed and united that we looked forward towards the
meetings that were held on Fridays. Since I left the chapter way back in
2002 because I was no longer working in the vicinity, I am unable to
compare with the climate now.
Q. Would you say you
have attained utmost satisfaction when filled with the Holy Spirit?
A: I was born into a
Christian family but when I was filled with the Holy Spirit, my life was
never the same again. Reading the Word became so interesting, going for a
Christian meeting was something I looked forward to and seeing the love
and the power of God on display brought me to tears many times but at the
same time rejoicing to see so many being set free.
Q. You certainly have
fond memories of FGBMF Malaysia. Would you kindly share them with us?
A: Although we came from
different denominational backgrounds, we were bonded by the love of God.
While in other organizations, people contested for positions, in FGBMF we
were there to serve in whatever positions. In fact, we were one of the
first chapters that started the rotation system of presidents. The three
senior members were “forced” to hold the presidency for two years each,
not because they wanted to shirk their responsibility but all wanted to
work in unison in promoting the gospel in the marketplace, immaterial of
the position they held. The way we worked with the neighboring chapters in
organizing banquets, lunch hour prayer meetings and even a well coordinated
prayer walk is something I will always cherish. The results were obvious-
strong sense of unity, salvations, rededications, healings etc.
Q. What are your views
on FGBMF’s progress over the recent years?
A: As I have not been with
the FGBMF for a few years now and I am not really in touch with what is
going on now, it may be difficult for me to comment here.
Q. What is it that you
miss most ever since you became less active in FGBMF?
A: The brotherly love which
we had for each other although we came from different backgrounds. The
casual meetings that Bro Thomas Samuel The very essence of leadship is
that you have to have a vision. - Theodore Hesburgh we had where we could
relax and have a good laugh. The joy of seeing people giving their lives
to the Lord Jesus Christ after a good message and a good meal.
Q. Please share with us
your current ministry?
A: I am involved in is a
inter denominational faith-based prayer ministry. We started the Jesus
Calls Prayer Tower in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia to pray for the
broken-hearted, the churches and the country. Supported by 70 intercessors
from about 35 different churches, we are a ministry of love and
compassion. We have prayed for thousands of prayer requests and seen the
hand of the Lord in healing so many physical conditions, relationships and
finances. We see our role as complementing the church as all salvations
are directed to churches for discipleship and if any doctrinal questions
are raised, we request the requester to go back to their respective
pastors. We are open from 10.00am to 6.00pm Monday to Friday and the first
Saturday of the month. During this period, anyone could call us for
prayers (prayer hotline – 03 7960 7370), visit us for prayers (Tower
Villa, 11, Lorong Timur, 46000 Petaling Jaya) or e-mail us
(jcmalaysia@gmail.com), fax us
(03 7960 8370) or write to us. Twice a month, we conduct Healing &
Anointing meetings ie. on the first and the third Thursdays of the month
which is open to all.
Q. Lastly, what would be
your passing words to the current FGBMF members?
A: There is a huge harvest
field out there. Keep doing the good work and God will richly reward you
with the souls from the market place, for which you are so uniquely
positioned, so long as you remain united and do not lose heart.
