4 Class that is in Johor Baru, Petaling Jaya, Bukit Jalil and Ampang will take a short break beginning next week. This coincides with the school holidays and gives parents some time to be with their school going children. Classes will the week beginning 21 June 2010.
CBSI MALAYSIA Board wishes you a Happy Easter. We pray that you have had a great time of celebrating the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Classes have once again commenced after the Easter break and will run till the middle of June to coincide with the Malaysian school holidays.
We have seen a number of new members joining the class especially at the PJ Class. The PJ Class continues to study Paul’s letter to the Romans. They are now at Lesson 7.
The Ampang class also continues with the Book of Revelation and they have now finished Chapter 14. The attendance have been constant and we are pleased that all who come are benefiting for the studies. Praise the Lord.
We praise God that we will be able to start another new class in Butterworth in June 2010. We are in the midst of planning for a small group leader’s training and a possible Teaching Leader’s training. This will be over 2 nights. The details will be announced in due course. Please keep this in prayer for a great harvest up in the North. Please pray that God will lead Fred to the right people with a heart for God’s word to be trained and released in ministry.
We praise God that after much prayer and hard work, the CBSI Malaysia Board was formed under the name of “C B Study Malaysia Bhd.” The first Board Meeting was held on Thursday 19 November at the Upper Room of St. Paul’s Church, PJ. The Dr.Dato Yeoh Beng Sang was appointed the Chairman of the Board and the Rev Fred David was duly confirmed as the National Director for Malaysia. The other members of the Board are: Dato George Ting, Mr. John Liew (Sabah) Mr Peter Ling, Elder Ng See Yen, Mr. Lew Weng Ho and Mrs. Usha Jacob.
The Board has fixed 25 February as the Commissioning Service of the National Director and Board members. Please keep the date free and invitations to the service will soon be out. Please continue to pray for all those involved in CBSI that the year 2010 will be a year of great harvest for the Lord.
Please begin to pray that another new class will open in Butterworth in the northern state of Penang in 2010. The pastor of a church has expressed his desire for a good Bible study in the town. Pray that God will prepare those who will be trained as small group leaders and also for at least 2 teaching leaders. PRAISE THE LORD.
Joan who is the wife of the Vicar of St. Barnabas, Church, Klang where a CBSI Class is running said that God had given her a double bonus in that she was able to fully participate in her small group and to be ministered by God though the lecture. She was praying that her 2 little children would not be too burdensome while the class was on. To her surprise she found that her children with another child had “transformed” into angels and occupied themselves with their own “studies” . God will open the door for those who desire His Word. Amen
Mrs. Chelliah
Asked what she had learnt from her study of James, she says, “I love to gossip and watch televison. But James has taught me to control my tongue and use it and my time for God’s Glory”
Let’s say “Amen” to that. CBSI Classes are live changing even for 80year olds. If you have not been to a good Bible Study it is not too late to attend one. Please check our site to see where the classes are for the coming year 2010.

On Monday 29 June, the National Director gave an introductory session to about 30 people in the City of Johor Bahru. This is the town just on the other side of Causeway, north of Singapore. Those gathered came from a few of the churches in the city. It was a very encouraging evening and all went home seeing the need for an in-depth Bible Study in their city.
A small working committee was formed and they have decided to begin the class on 28 July 2009. This will be held at the Church of the Good Shepherd. If you know of any one who would benefit from these studies, please contact the following persons for more details:
