Around the World

1 . Malaysia : is divided into two distinctive parts geographically. The Kra peninsula, part of the Asia mainland and East Malaysia on the northern part of the island of Borneo . After its independence from Britain , the Malays have been the dominating group over the non-Malays socially and economically. There are severe penalties against renouncing the Islam faith and it is illegal to witness to a Muslim. Pray that the proposal to limit further religious freedom may not succeed. For those on the peninsular, the church is growing amongst non-Muslim groups. Pray for a significant minority group of Chinese speaking over nine dialects. The church grows among the urban middle-class English Chinese. There are no churches using the other dialects. Pray for courage and boldness to preach the gospel by the leaders, unity among Christians, solution to meet the need for Christian literature in the Malay language since it becomes the official language. Pray for the fruitful ministry with young Indians, Chinese and East Malaysians in schools and universities.
