1) The new believers to grow well in the Lord Jesus and be faithful.
2) The young men and women of our church so that they will not be influenced by the unbelievers of other faiths.
3) Good health for our pastor. It is not easy being a pastor in Sabah where the needs of the people are varied.
4) All the plans and activities in the church to be a glory to God.
5) The leadership of this group that God will bless each leader with wisdom, love and humility. May they have a clear vision in leading the group.
Praise God! We want to share our testimony of God's goodness and participation in the growth of our group's ministry. It started with just a few families who faithfully gathered from house to house to hold worship and praise God together. Although the place was simple and lacking in everything, our desire to fellowship and heard the word of God never faded. In our unwavering faithfulness and prayer, God opened a way after another. Our application for the construction of our church was finally approved. We are very grateful that we were granted approval to build a church building measuring 20x30 square feet, enough to accommodate the growing needs of the congregation. Today we no longer worship from house to house but have a permanent place of worship. A new church building that stands as a testimony to God's love and faithfulness to His people. We believe that God who has begun this good work will complete it for the glory of His name. All praise, honour and thanksgiving only to the Lord Jesus Christ, our Great Shepherd. Amen!

Praise the Lord for His tangible guidance in my ministry. I am truly grateful that God is performing great works among our congregation. There were members who seldom attended worship services, but now more people are coming joyfully and eager to seek the Lord. I have observed closer unity among the congregation in ministry. They have started collaborating better, supporting each other in church activities, and opening their hearts to serving the Lord. Families that were previously passive are now more active in ministry. The Word of God is taking root in their lives and the love among the congregation is becoming increasingly evident.

Prayer Requests
Pray for:
1) Good health for me, my wife and children.
2) The congregation to grow well spiritually and physically in God's word.
3) The church's plan to purchase musical instruments, God to bring the right donor.
4) Unity of the congregation, so that God's name will be glorified.
5) Pray for the congregation's discipleship program. Many from this program will be able to draw lost souls into God's kingdom.
Since the beginning of the ministry in this place, we only started with a small group who faithfully worshipped in homes. Despite various shortcomings and challenges faced, the church of God remained steadfast, supporting each other, and praying together in every situation. With tireless efforts, finally this church began to grow. The congregation grew, the spirit of fellowship grew stronger, and the ministry of children and youth began to take shape.
We saw for ourselves how God sent the right people at the right time, providing for our needs, both in terms of places of worship and in building a new ministry structure.
Today, with great joy and humility, I would like to testify that our church group has been proposed to be elevated to a local church or independent church. This is the fruit of the cooperation of the entire obedient church of God, as well as the mercy of God that never fails. We believe that this is not just a recognition of the ecclesiastical structure, but a great spiritual responsiblity to continue to grow, reach souls, and glorify the name of God in the land of 'S' and its surroundings. We completely entrust this process into the hands of God, and we believe that He who has begun a good work in this place, will complete it to the end. All glory belongs to God alone. Amen.

Pray for:
1) Our family to always be strong in ministry and be able to overcome the challenges that comes with our ministry work.
2) Strength, patience, good health and fortitude to all family members.
3) There will be unity and good cooperation in my ministry, so that God's work will be done flawlessly.
4) Those who have just accepted the Lord, that they will continue to be faithful in the Lord and will not fall back.
5) My ministry in SIB G and SIB L, that the congregation will continue to be faithful and fear God.
Throughout our ministry, God guides me in all of my decisions. In all circumstances, God faithfully protected us, giving us spiritual strength and sufficient physical health to continue moving in the ministry field. I am also very grateful that the church at SIB G has shown great trust by appointing me as the Congregation Leader, Congregation Pastor, and Evangelist. This trust is not something I take lightly, but I accept it with a humble heart and full commitment to God. I am very moved because the church at SIB G not only trust me but also shows a high spirit of cooperation. Together we learn to sever God more effectively by supporting and encouraging each other and strengthening each other in the love of Christ. May this testimony strengthen our brothers and sisters who are also serving, that the God we serve is a faithful God who protects, strengthens and equips every one of His servants for the glory of His name.
All glory belongs only to the Lord Jesus Christ.
