What the Word can do for all - Joy
Asked what was so special about the class, her reply was the personal study, class discussion and of course the lecture. She hopes and prays that many more will be able to attend these studies.

Bible Study is new to me!

Soo Chin hails from Southern China and became a Christian in China. However she testifies that her Christian growth has only now began. She attributes this to her joining the CBSI Class in PJ. Ever since she joined the class Soo Chin has been a “regular”.

We hope to train her to lead a class and when she returns to her homeland she will have a ministry and will bring others to a deeper relationship to God through the Word. God is so Good.
Merdeka Day
August 30, 2010
Classes are closed for 2 weeks as the Nation of Malaysia celebrates her 53rd Independence Day. It was on 31 August 1957 that Malaya got its independence from Britain. Please pray for the nation as she goes through rapid change. Pray that there will be good governance and that the freedom of religion will always be upheld. The Christian Community has begun a 40 day prayer and fasting which will end on 16 September. This is the Day when the states of Sabah and Sarawak came together with West Malaysia to form the new nation of Malaysia. Pray that the Church will always be a light shining in places of darkness.
Madam Josephine Narcis David, mother of our National Director Rev Fred David, went to be with the Lord when he was teaching the class in Klang on Monday 23 August 2010 at 9.45pm. Earlier in the day Fred went and spent an extended time with his mother, talking and encouraging her and reading the psalms to her. He left her with his elder sister and wife Yoke Fong who came later to nurse her.
God saw that it was best to call her home and at 9.45 that night she went to be with the Lord peacefully at the home of Fred’s younger brother. The wake service was held on Tuesday 24 August.
Fred preached a powerful message at her funeral service on Wednesday 25 August, which was held at St. Paul’s Church PJ, where Fred is also the Vicar. The church was full of relatives and friends. Representatives of the CBSI Classes in the country came to pay their past respects and to be with Fred either at the wake service or the funeral service. It was indeed a beautiful send off for a loving mother.
Fred and Yoke Fong thank all for their messages of condolences and generous gifts at their time of bereavement. In all this the Lord was glorified. AMEN

Son beaten-up in School
August 20, 2010
Please pray as I have just received news that Avinash the son of our CBSI Director for India was beaten up in school. Dev and Koko have been aggressively promoting CBSI and Christian ministry in Nagaland. They live in Dimapur. There is a rising opposition to anything Christian in India. But Nagaland is very Christian and this to happen to Avinash is very surprising. Please uphold Devendra and Koko and the family at this time. Please also pray for their staff workers in Dimapur.

Importance of Small Group leaders
August 11, 2010
In a CBSI Class, nothing can replace the small group leader. Thus the training of these faithful men and women is always a priority. They need encouragement and prayer and we want to assure them that they are always prayed for by the National Team as well as their own class members. To some small group leaders this may come as a surprise. Keep up the good work!

Regional Director refused Entry
August 9, 2010
Peter Hanscamp, our regional director for Asia Pacific was refused entry into India last week. He was intensely interviewed by the Immigration officials and was told that if he was on “missionary work” he would need a different visa. It seems the many Asian nations are beginning to be “overly cautious” of who comes into their countries. We do not know the real cause but we can guess.
Peter was sent back to Dubai and is a little disappointed as there were lined up for him a series of meetings in India. Please pray. Maybe it is time that we need to set up more national ministry teams as a new wave of closing doors to the Gospel become evident.
