20th Anniversary (1998-2018)

CBSI Malaysia gives thanks to God for his faithfulness and grace in the last 20 years. Rev Fred David, who was on a Sabbatical in Austin, Texas 1996-1997, came across a CBS class at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church outside Austin. He was impressed at what he saw, as he was looking for something in strengthen his training of Evangelists in Sabah, Malaysia. He was put in touch with Earl and Betty Reeves who were Calebs and overseeing the CBSI ministry in South East Asia. Earl and Betty then trained Rev Fred in Singapore and that led to the first CBSI class in Malaysia in the Interior of Sabah in 1998
CBSI Malaysia recognizes the great and valuable contribution by the Reeves. We thank God for their love for God and his people. Their warmth and willingness to just to see people getting into God’s Word.
Earl and Betty, you are fondly remembered by the early CBSI team. Thank you and God give you health and joy in the days ahead.
We praise God that we are able to help St. Mark’s Church, Butterworth, to run another study. This time they are studying Paul’s Letter tot he Galatians. Our National Director was able to do an introductory overview of the Letter and last Thursday 19 July they began Lesson 2 of Galatians.
CBSI Malaysia wishes all members who are mothers, grandmothers and mothers to be a Blessed Mother’s Day. May the Lord continue to give you the strength and courage in molding the lives of your dear ones in the Word of God. This is our prayer for you:
Our P.J. class having finished the book of Joshua, have decided to study the Pastoral Epistles of Paul – 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus. Our national director gave the introductory lecture that was very comprehensive and enlightening. More than 30 have signed up for next Semester and we are praying that more will turn up after the mid-year holiday. The New semester will take off on Tuesday June 5, 2018. Pray that many church leaders will also attend this study.
The Damansara Class decided to have a simple meal to celebrate the completion of the Book of Revelation in November 2017. The feed back was that there was so much to lead and understand. The class enjoyed the study especially helping them see that the church must prepare herself for the future. Their shout was “Let’s Be Over-comers” AMEN
CBSI Malaysia congratulates brother Jack Nadarajah of the PJ class on his retirement from the TV Malaysia after 32 years of excellent service. He has received a number of awards from the industry and this goes to show of the character and person he is. A true disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ. We pray that he will enjoy his retirement and find the time to serve the Lord in new and active ways. God Bless you Jack and we look forward to your continued role as a small group leader.
