PJ Lighthouse : God, Joy, Hope :)

Hannah Ramsamy, KL Singles.. My dream to be on the Ipoh Mission Team came about at the launch of Operation Evangelization of Malaysia at the SEA Conference in Singapore last year. I knew that being a Malaysian it was my calling to reach out to the people in Ipoh. It was during the Malaysian Churches Conference that I pledged to God that I would serve him. As the theme of the conference went, “Here I am. Send Me”, I told God to use my life for the advancement of his kingdom. On our first trip, we didn’t know the directions to Ipoh. We had no plans, no contacts…anyone would have thought that it was plain foolishness to travel without a plan. But it was amazing how God guided us to Ipoh. We met a stranger during lunch and asked for directions. Her name was Gannes. And she volunteered to be our tour guide for almost half a day! That I would call a miracle from God! God had continuously encouraged us in many ways, be it in bringing friends, reaching out to people, or just getting directio...

“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” (Mark 1:17) These are the very words of Jesus about our calling to seek and save the lost. We must speak – and speak of Christ. People need to be told who it is who makes our lives different. We must speak even when we do not know much about the Bible. We must speak even if we sense our own inconsistency of life. We must speak even when it is inconvenient. God is bigger than our sins, our ignorance, our pride. He will honor his word in our mouths. Ipoh Truly it is exciting to see how different disciples had stepped up on their faith to take the mission to where it has never been before. This year the KL church had started mission plans to Ipoh and Seremban. It first started when one of our staff’s father was sick. She took her whole family to Taiping for a visit and to take care of him. A few visits followed and she then took the opportunity to share the gospel with her father. This brought on the idea of setti...

A young gal who just started her journey as a disciple, the exuberant and lively Ester Lai shares of how God led her to Him in her life. When I was 15 years old, I faced a lot of personal problems in my life, especially in the area of my studies and relationships. I was very unhappy at the time, not to mention lonely as well. One day while I was in my hostel room, I saw my roommate writing a letter. Filled with curiosity I probed her and she told me how she often wrote letters to this friend of hers to share of her problems whenever she was unhappy. It turned out that this friend was a pastor in a missionary in Sarawak. I decided to get to know him and I started corresponding with him. I believed that it was God’s plan that I should come to know him. I found comfort in pouring out my burdens in life through the letters I wrote to him. Although we communicated with each other only through letters, I felt loved and cared for. After graduating from high school I began working in Johor...

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
