CBSI MALAYSIA

Ipoh class breaks for Christmas

The class that meets at YMCA, Ipoh had their last class last Wednesday before they take a break for the year end. It was a great time of teaching and fellowshipping. They are studying the Book of Daniel. As members said their good byes and Christmas greetings, one could sense the feeling of “missing one another” This is what CBSI is all about, building people and seeing that they are cared for. Praise the Lord. They will resume class in January 2009 but will meet on a Thursday night instead of Wednesday.

Peachtree Corners CBS Class

It was exciting for Yoke Fong and I to meet up with Victor Tan from Georgia, Atlanta. Victor is Malaysian and came home to Klang to attend the wedding of his nephew. Victor’s wife Felicia  who hails for that beautiful city of Ipoh, is the Asst, Children’s Director for Peachtree Corners CBS Class. When the class heard that Victor was coming to Malaysia, they got him to make contact with us in Malaysia. This class has been praying for Malaysia.

We had a great time over lunch and shared some of our vision for the coming year. One of the things that will excite Felicia is that the class in Ipoh meets at the YMCA and is it growing week after week. The Ipoh class are praying about taking CBSI to Taiping a town further north.

To Karen Hodges the teaching Director of this class and all the members, Yoke Fong and I want to thank you for praying for us. Pray that we will be faithful to Him who called us into this ministry despite the setbacks, difficulties and restrictions. God Bless you too and thank you for the photos.

2009 Classes

We will begin classes early in January in 2009. Please see your respective “coordinators” for brochures to be distributed to your friends to who are interested in studying the word of God in depth. Please get them to register so that the coordinators can get the material ready. The following classes have indicated what they want to study next year.
