Everyone in the World…in the Word

The class coordinator Bro Thomas Kong, began the class by welcoming all old and new members to another semester. The class is studying the Gospel According to John and Rev Fred David, the National Director and also Teaching leader gave the Introductory lecture. About 35 were present and we expect more to be joining the class in the next 2 or 3 weeks.

If you know of anyone who desires to study the word of God, please give them an invitation to the class. You may be doing them the greatest favour in their lives.

The Apostle John says, ” But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have eternal life” (John 20:31)

If you want to know about this eternal life, please attend our classes or ask a Christian friend to explain to you. If you cannot find someone, drop us a note and we will put someone in touch with you.
To all at the PJ Class, Happy studying God’s Word.

Greetings and hope that you have had a great Chinese New year. It will soon be back to serious study and application of God’s Word in our daily lives.

The PJ Class will now commence their semester on 21 February 2012. This will be the Introduction and the Background of the Gospels. Please sign up with Class Coordinator, Thomas Kong or with St. Paul’s Church.

We will be studying the Gospel of John. It will be another 30 week study. But we have broken it into 2 semester:
1. 21 February – 12 June 2012
2. 10 July – 16 October 2012

Do invite your friends and family to come to another exciting year of going deeper into God’s word. As I wrote in our New Year’s message,”It is only the word of God that will sustain us through the darkness in the world. We are called to be lights in places of darkness. Be a light for Christ.

Classes to Commence

We are pleased to announced that all classes will once again commence after the Chinese New Year break. Please be informed that there will be some new classes in the Damansara and Cheras areas. Please inform your friends who love to study the Word of God seriously. (Look out for the class list to be announced next week.)

It is said that only our faith and understanding of God’s Word and truth will be able to see us through the difficult, confusing and disturbing times ahead.

Join a CBSI class closest to you and your future is assured by Him who holds the future.

God Bless you.

The Chairman, Board of Directors and National Director, wish all our Chinese Members a very Joyous Chinese New Year.

May this season of great rejoicing and festivity, bring the love of God to the homes of your loved ones. We pray for all our loved ones who have yet to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ that this year the Lord will open doors for the Gospel to touch their lives. We must continue to pray without ceasing.

Bishopscourt Yangon

Our National Director, Rev Fred David had the privilege of dining with Lord and Lady Carey in Yangon on 23 November at the invitation of Archbishop Stephen and Nan. Fred first met Lord & Lady Carey when they visited him as Archdeacon of the Interior in the Diocese of Sabah. Archbishop Carey was on a visit to Sabah Diocese. He traveled with Bishop Yong Ping Chung from Kota Kinabalu to the Interior and experience the Borneo tropical monsoon at its height. Because of landslides, they had to walk and change vehicles to get to Telupid. Lord Carey also reminded me (I was translating for him,) that, that was the first time he was stopped in his preaching. It really rained.

It is wonderful that as we serve God He leads us to people who also love and serve the lord faithfully where we can mutually encourage and spur one another on in His Work.

I am aware that many of you, including some of our Directors will be traveling to be with families overseas. May I wish you travel mercies and God’s blessing. May this time with families be one of great joy and happiness. May their families too be blessed this Christmastide.

Looking forward to seeing you when you return.

Joyous Christmas and Blessed New Year.

The Board of Directors and I extend our Christmas greetings to all our members in the country. We also take this opportunity to thank all our prayer partners and donors for supporting the work of CBSI Malaysia in 2011.

Our prayer is that you will experience the joy and excitement just as the shepherds encountered on that first Christmas night. May Christmas blessing fill your homes this Christmas season.

God Bless

Partnerships

In extending the Kingdom of God and seeing the Great Commission fulfilled, one person or a sole organization is unable to do it. Partnerships are the way to go in missions these days.I believe that in the many facets of our church and Christian life, partnership comes into play. It is very humbling to realize that we need one another in achieving God’s purpose for our time.

I am deeply thankful for the partnership of the following in the PJ Class

Esther Richards - Asst. teaching Leader

Mrs Glo Rajemdram - Asst Teaching Leader

Thomas Kong - Class Coordinator

Please be in prayer, as discussions continue for the opening of new classes for 2012. A second class in JB, a new class in Bukit Mertajam and a class in Sunway Damansara. Please also pray that another class in Ipoh will can be started.

We praise God that the PJ class has completed their study of the Acts of the Apostles. (30 weeks) The last class for the year was held yesterday Monday 24 October 2011.
There were 7 members who had a 100% attendance. We praise God for their love for God’s word. Fred David as he gave the final summary lecture for Acts, challenged the members that they in their own spiritual journey with the Lord, could leave a legacy for the next generation. A different story of the faith of present day saints needs to be written for our Church history. Learning from Paul of his ministry and sacrifices will help us fulfill God’s will and purpose in our generation.

In his closing prayers, Fred prayed and thanked God for commitment of the small group leaders, the assistant teaching leaders and above all for the Class Coordinator for all his efforts and encouragement to get people into God's Word Everywhere.
