New Semester brings Excitement
August 3, 2010
There was an atmosphere of excitement as the Klang Class began their new semester. They are studying the Book of Daniel. 40 members attended the Introductory session led by Rev Fred David. They are expecting many more to attend. A special invitation was given to all youths. Rev Fred in his lecture said that this is one study that will help our youths in these difficult days to stand firm in their faith.
Mentoring Conference 15-17 July
July 17, 2010
Still mentoring
participants
The Conference was spread over 2 nights and a whole Saturday. The night meetings dealt with how parents could mentor their children.
There was a total of 45 participants and the feedback from one mother was “If I had attended a seminar of this nature years ago, I would have parented my children differently”
A youth leader had this to say, ” I now understand better to help the young people with me.”
What surprised me most was that some senior members came to attend the conference. What a great support and encouragement. Even at their age, mentoring can still be used. Amen

JB Class finishing 1 John
July 6, 2010
Next week will see the JB class concluding their study on 1 John. The attendance has been consistent and it has been a great joy to teach this class. They are planning a “Graduation” time where class members will give their testimony especially how God has shaped their lives through the studies. We hope that the new members to the class will also have the courage to share.
This will be the first time that we will be awarding class members certificates.
The dates have been fixed for the next round of classes in Klang which will be held at St. Barnabas Church. They have decided to do the Book of Daniel and it will commence on 2nd August 2010 and will run till November 2010.
Please let your friends know of this and it will be a great opportunity for them top study a great book of the Old Testament. Rev Fred David will once again do the teaching with Dr. Viji Daniel assisting him.
Please contact Mary Das the class coordinator for the Klang class. Her contact is: 017-3182-509
Covenant Letter
June 23, 2010
We have just been informed that with immediate effect, all classes using the CBSI material will need to sign a Covenant. This is needed because of the copy rights law in the US. This is good working ethics, however must never hinder the growth of classes or getting people into the Word.
Teaching Leaders Training
June 22, 2010
A training for Teaching Leaders and potential TLs will take place from 24-25 September 2010. There will be about 12 to be trained and God willing about 2 or 3 from Sarawak and Sabah will be able to join those from West Malaysia. Please pray that we will be able to find the finance to run this training and especially to bring the Leaders from the various parts of the country to Kuala Lumpur.
It is also hoped that at this training we will have some who will also be fluent in Mandarin, Tamil and Bahasa Malaysia. The hope is that a number of other than English language classes evolved.
