CCM Mission Fund

Greetings and peace to you in Jesus Christ!

In recent years, CCM has been able to assist the indigenous churches in the country to organize themselves for the sake of ecumenical fellowship, leadership development and mission work. The CCM committee that relates with the indigenous churches is called HEBI (Hal Ehwal Bumiputra Indigenous). The Committee has successfully organized youth, women and church workers conferences on an annual basis.

This year there are plans to hold another Pastors’ Conference in Ipoh (YMCA) from 27-30th August 2007. The hosting church, the Sengoi Mission Conference will have the opportunity of welcoming over 120 participants coming from different member churches of CCM.

The theme chosen will be “ 50 Tahun Kemerdekaan: Cabaran Masa Kini”. Tan Sri Bernard Dompok, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department has agreed to speak at the opening and grace the Fellowship Dinner on 27th August at 6.30pm.

As you are aware, the Bahasa-speaking and ethnic congregations are relatively poor and therefore CCM has to raise the necessary funds to subsidize the Conference. Over the years we have appealed to individuals, congregations and organizations to help us meet the budgeted amount. We need to raise RM 50,000 which will pay for the travel for East Malaysians (by Air Asia) and board and lodging for the duration of the Conference.

We appeal to you/to your church to prayerfully consider making a contribution towards the indigenous Pastors’ Conference.

You could contribute greatly to this mission work by contributing to the CCM Mission Fund. Cheques can be made in favour of the “Council of Churches of Malaysia,” and the words “ Mission Fund” written at the back of the cheque.

The more we invest in building the spiritual capacity of the indigenous churches, the more confident they will become in taking on more responsibility of their mission work and safeguarding their heritage in the national context.

May God bless you.

Yours sincerely in Christ,
