Current Ministry

in Malaysia

There are two Advent Christian Conferences in Malaysia, one in Kluang (Keluang)and one in Banting.

The Kluang Conference was started by Rev. Thambusamy Devairakkam and wife Victoria.
Following the death of Rev T Devaairakkam, one of his five children, Rev. James Devadasson, took over leadership of the work. James was joined by his wife, Mercy.
In 2008 James' sister Ruth Devairakkam and husband Wilfred took over leadership of the church at Kluang.
The church is presently struggling, following a major split in 2008 and has only approximately 10 members.
Ruth and Wilfred hold home meetings and are doing personal visitation, as well as having regular Sunday meetings.
Ministry aspects include:
- Reaching out to new contacts (Indian, Chinese and Filipino).
- Bilingual Church services (Tamil / English).
- Prayer Meetings
- Bible Study
- Chain Prayer
- House Fellowships
- Community service for those who seek us for help (paper-work whenever necessary).
- Sharing Jesus to the broken-hearted among our contacts (broken families, broken marriages and those contemplating suicide).
- English-speaking Chinese from other Churches have fellowship with us at our service and house meetings.

The Banting conference, near Kuala Lumpur, was started by Rev. Lucas Devasahayam. After he passed away in 1996, his wife Beaulah carried on his work.
Today, their son, Pastor Victor Devadason is the leader of the ministry based in Banting. Victor is also a trained school teacher and has a degree in education and business. He and his wife Nesamony and four children live in nearby Tarman Dato Hormat and oversee the ministries in Banting and Sepang, with an outreach to a group from (the Malaysian State of) Sabah who live and work at nearby Port Klang.

The church at Banting is showing slight progress. The church at Sepang is badly in need of repairs and maintenance following damage caused by recent floods – members are presently being transported to Banting for services.
Beulah Devasahayam is a diabetic and her health is poor. She is still active in leadership of the Banting church as her health allows.
Another home fellowship meeting is held in the home of Shuresh, one of Pastor Victor’s brothers.
