 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?
