Ruth Devairakkam in Kluang, Malaysia reports as follows (9 January) concerning their Christmas and New Year celebrations …

“15 non-Christian friends from Kluang and outstation came to our house for a Christmas fellowship. Lunch was served. We also had a time of sharing Jesus with them. Indians and Chinese were present. Our children were also with us.

Non-Christian relatives came to our house to celebrate Christmas for the first time. They even ordered a cake for Christmas. They stayed with us for two days and joined us for service and house fellowship. They are now responsive to the Gospel. [Read more...]

A report from Ruth Devairakkam

On 3rd November, 2011 our group conducted a Thanksgiving Service in remembrance
of late Esther. We were invited by the Hindu family members of late Esther to conduct the
Service totally in the Christian way. Lunch was served after the Service. This was an
opportunity for us to share Jesus among the Hindus.

A Chinese Christian family has invited our group to conduct a Thanksgiving Service at
their home next month.

We are now preparing for Christmas Carols among the non-Christians and Christians who
have already invited us.

Do continue to pray for us. The blessings of the Lord Jesus be with you.

Wilfred and I attend the monthly meetings of the Kluang Tamil Pastors Fellowship, and we also attend the meetings conducted by the English-speaking Pastors Fellowship.
Last Saturday (15 October), the Tamil Pastors Fellowship meeting was held at our house.

Recently, our AC Church was invited for the MALAYSIA DAY SERVICE, held at a 4 star hotel. 600 Christians attended the Combined Service. The theme was “MANY CONGREGATIONS 1 CHURCH.” 14 Churches were represented – English speaking, Chinese speaking, Tamil speaking and Malay speaking. We prayed for the following items…

• The Pillar of the Family.
• Pillar of Religion/Church.
• Pillar of Education.
• Pillar of Government/Judiciary/Authorities.
• Pillar of Business/Marketplace.
• Pillar of Media/Performing Arts.

Including our family members and relatives, we now have 12 AC Church members. Our AC Church contributes annually towards the Kluang Tamil Pastors Fellowship, the Kluang Christian Cemetery and the activities organized by the Combined Churches of Kluang.

Do continue to pray for the work in Kluang.

Ruth Devairakkam , in Kluang Malaysia reports….

Greetings to you in Jesus’ Name! Puji Tuhan!
My family and I are doing fine, and I trust it’s the same with you.
Thank you for your prayers.

PRAISES TO GOD FOR THE FOLLOWING:

1. The successful Hindu business man, for whom we requested you to pray is doing fine. He began to ponder the words of Jesus and he said that Jesus has intervened into his situation. He took his family overseas. He is seeing goodness in his situation. He keeps in touch with us and shares how God is healing his marriage and family. He told us that God has been giving him ideas and showing him new ways to restore his marriage. He said that he will visit us when time permits as he is very busy.

2. A Chinese Buddhist gentleman who used to come to our home to know about Jesus, has recently been visiting us frequently. He has begun to read the Bible. He came for Easter, to have tea with us.

3. A Chinese Buddhist lady came to visit us again. We told her that you are praying along for her. She is in good health now. Her son has got a job and takes good care of her.

4. My neighbour, the elderly Chinese Buddhist gentleman is doing fine. He comes to our home often to be prayed for and to hear about Jesus.

Do continue to pray for our work in Kluang.

God bless you.”
