SERVE THE EAST UPDATES AND PRAYER POINTS

MICAH CENTRE

We thank God for the completion of the cross-cultural discipleship training at Micah Centre, with their graduation being held on the 9th of January 2022, marking an end to the 4th batch of Micah Centre training.

We would also like to thank the Lord for three of our Micah trainees who are willing to stay in Sabah as interns to participate in the indigenous people's ministry. We pray that the Lord will guard their will and prepare their body and mind, guiding them through their internship.

We have started the recruitment process for the 5th batch of Micah trainees. We pray that the Lord will touch the hearts of young people and call them to sign up for the training. We also pray that the church will encourage and send out their younger generation for cross-culture missions to serve the indigenous people.

KINDERGARTENS AND COMPANIONSHIP CLASS IN RURAL AREAS

Pray that the Lord guards over every teacher and student in the kindergartens and companionship classes in the rural areas, and protects them from the Omicron virus. According to the Ministry of Health, Sabah has the highest number of daily positive cases, and many indigenous people in the rural areas have yet to receive their booster dose.

We pray  that the Lord will grant wisdom and strength to the kindergarten and companionship class teachers to educate and  nurture a faithful upcoming generation with love and patience.

SPECIAL TOPIC: YUAN-HAN JOURNEYING TOGETHER

The second topical sharing of Yuan-Han Journeying Together will be held on 21st March 2022.​ We will be looking into the economic challenges of indigenous people and how we can empower them. May the Lord anoint our speaker, Pastor Lam Kee Hing, so that he may deliver the subject content with clarity and the attendees will have a better understanding of the challenges faced by the indigenous people.

MISSION / VISITATION TRIPS

Due to the pandemic, our mission and visitation trips have been delayed for two years. This year, we would like to resume them. We will be bringing Chinese churches into the indigenous villages in Sabah to experience and learn more about cross-cultural missions thus fostering the vision of Yuan-Han Journeying Together. Although there are many uncertainties due to the pandemic, we pray that the Lord will guard and lead us so that the mission and visitation trips that have been planned will be carried out smoothly.

弥迦学院

感谢主带领八位弥迦学员顺利完成跨文化门徒培训，于1月9日举行结业礼，为第四届弥迦培训划上句号。

感谢主，今年有三位弥迦学员想继续留在沙巴，以事工实习生的身份参与原住民的事工。求主保守他们的心志，预备他们的身心灵，带领他们整个实习的服事。

第五届培训已开始招生，求主感动和呼召更多年轻人愿意来报读，愿教会鼓励和差遣年轻人走向跨文化宣教，服侍原住民。

乡区幼儿园 / 陪读班

求主保守每一个幼儿园和陪读班的原住民老师和孩子们，让他们免于Omicron病毒的感染。根据卫生部的数据，沙巴确诊人数依然居高，而很多乡区的原住民还未接种疫苗加强针。

求主赐给每位幼儿园与陪读班的老师有从主而来的智慧和能力，用爱心和耐心去教导和培育敬虔的下一代。

原汉同行专题系列

第二场的专题系列将于3月21日举行，探讨原住民的经济挑战，以及我们可以如何赋权于他们。求主恩膏讲员林其兴传道，使他能清楚地传讲内容，以帮助参加者更加了解原住民所面对的挑战。

短宣 / 访宣

因疫情而搁置了两年的短宣和访宣计划，将在今年重新启动，带领华人教会到访沙巴原住民的偏乡，亲身体验与学习更多跨文化宣教，促进原汉同行的异象。纵然目前疫情仍然不稳定，但我们求主保守和带领，让我们筹划着的短宣或访宣都能顺利进行。
