The Baptist movement in Malaysia began on October
21, 1938 in Alor Setar. 67 years later, there are
approximately 134 Baptist church throughout the
whole of Malaysia.
While
some Baptist churches are registering growth,
there are many more that are registering minimal
growth. This problem is mainly due to the lack
of pastors and financial resources.Therefore,
Kuala Lumpur Baptist Church through the Missions
Programme sets aside a substantial amount of the
yearly missions budget to assist other Baptist
Churches that are in need as well as provide support
in equipping people for God's work. Besides
working with Baptist churches and Malaysia Baptist
Theological Seminary, Kuala Lumpur Baptist Church
also partners with Sarawak Home Mission Board,
Sabah Home Mission Board and the Malaysia Baptist
Convention to carry out local mission work in
the rural areas.

Kuala
Lumpur Baptist Church also partners with other
Baptist organizations overseas to fulfill the
Great Commission outside Malaysia. We
hope to see Baptists working together to reach
the world for the Lord. Your partnership in
praying
for and financially supporting the work is crucial
for the achievement of this vision. World
Missions requires us to have Kingdom Perspective.
No one single person or church can ever reach
the whole world for our Lord Jesus Christ.
Kuala
Lumpur Baptist Church believes in partnering with
missionaries and missions organizations outside
of the Baptist denomination for the furtherance
of the Kingdom of God.We
are partnering with individuals through the various
missions organizations for the expansion of the
Kingdom of God. Some of the primary areas that
we have interest in are Vietnam, Central Asia,
Philippines, China and Thailand. The main reason
that these countries are selected for our church's
focus is because these countries or areas are
generally closed to the gospel work. Kuala
Lumpur Baptist Church missions is based on FAITH
GIVING. While the church's missions department
is committed to supporting various mission work,
it does not receive any financial support from
the church. Rather it depends solely on the designated
giving of members. Monies that are specifically
designated for mission work can only be used by
and for missions alone.
Members
are reminded that giving to missions must be over
and above their tithing (recommended 10% of income).
Over the past 20 years, God has been faithful
to provide sufficiently for the church's mission
work through the faithful giving of the church
members. Many people have been blessed. Will you
be part of this work? |
