God @ Work around the Prayer Networks

God @ Work around the Prayer Networks
May - August 2010
MNPN National Prayer Facilitator, Rev Ann Low reports:
Praise the Lord for the many opportunities to move around the Prayer Networks in Sarawak, Sabah, Peninsular
Malaya and even to GDOP Cape Town, S. Africa and Malaysians in Australia. I was much encouraged by
God‘s provision for trips locally and abroad not only for myself but for traveling partners and those burdened to
pray beyond their networks. It was amazing to see God raising children, youth, churches, denominations and
Pastors‘ Fellowships in different towns standing in prayer for people groups in our nation.
GDOP May 23 in Malawati Stadium, Shah Alam and Cape Town, SA
The Malaysian Church standing in unity and honoring the Orang Asli at GDOP Malawati Stadium, Shah Alam
GDOP was the highlight in May. Many churches banded together for 10 days to pray for breakthroughs in their towns and regions. Prayer teams went out to small and isolated parts in Peninsular Malaya and came back with encouraging testimonies. RUN
FOR THE NATION 2010 was awesome with many testimonies of God‘s presence with teams in the 14 states. As Stadium Malawati filled up on Pentecost Sunday for GDOP, many could see the visible unity of the Malaysian Church. With over 200 pastors
and leaders seated in front and 28 runners coming in with flags of the different states, about 10,000 believers invited the King of
Glory to pour out His Spirit on our nation. A team of 13 Malaysians traveled to Cape town for the CIP (Children in Prayer)
Global Summit and also attended the 10th Anniversary of the GDOP at the Velodrome, Bellville Stadium.

God’s Eye on Sarawak
Bintulu Pastors‟ Fellowship
Sibu in Sarawak has been chosen for the 1st Malaysian Prayer Convocation on 2-4 Dec 2010. Sarawak was the first state upon
which the Lord poured out His revival fire in years past. This Prayer Convocation is open to all. MNPN is working with a local
committee (picture on page 4) to organize this. They have also agreed to mobilize monthly prayer.
Bintulu pastors were encouraged to attend this Convocation. A team from the Chinese church there shared passionately about
their work among the Ibans.

At Lawas Pastors & Leaders’ Conference: Rev Ann Low had the opportunity to share about importance of praying for the
nation at a gathering of SIB pastors and leaders in Lawas on August 4-6. Lawyer Lim Heng Seng and Prof Son Radu (from
President Peter Mutang

have the Gospel for Every Person and A Church for Every People Group in Sarawak by 2010.
Networking in Kota Kinabalu (KK), Sabah
KK Prayer Network’s Pastor Steven Choon reports: ―This is an awesome year with prayer as one of the major emphases in
Rev Lee Tak Vui, Ann & John Robb sharing with KK pastors & leaders on 1st Malaysian Prayer Convocation Dec in Sibu &World Prayer Assembly in Jakarta
KK. Churches were fervent in monthly interchurch prayer for the 3 language groups‖. The ‗Mountain Group‘ prays every morning for the nation and does weekly prayer walks in schools and hospital visitation. One of the BCCM congregations (Basel
Christian Church of Malaysia) in KK called for a 21-Day Fast & Prayer from 27 Aug – 16 Sept, encouraging believers to gather
for prayer daily from 6.00—8.00am. ―Last year‘s Malaysia Day Prayer truly made an impact on us. God answered our prayer
when the Prime Minister declared Sept 16 as a public holiday. This year‘s will be on 14 - 16 Sept at Holy Seal Church at 7:30pm,
in all three languages. There will be no special speaker or fixed agenda. We are looking to God for a greater divine manifestation
as we press towards the Jubilee in 2012‖.
