2009 - A YEAR OF FIRSTS!
From the Chairman’s Desk
A
s I reflect on this year, I
think this must be a year
of “Firsts” for EE in Malaysia.
By implication this is a year of faith, a year of
venture into the unknown and a year of sowing. Let me
tell you why.
JANUARY 28-30
EE International conducted a recruitment programme in
Kuala Lumpur for Asian Implementation Field Workers as
part of its Global Development Programme. EE Malaysia
assisted in the ground organization for this event which
was held in Malaysia for the FIRST time.
FEBRUARY 16-17
EE Malaysia conducted an Xee Crossover training for
Adult EE teachers for the FIRST time. This training
is specially designed by EE Malaysia to help Adult EE
teachers learn and teach Xee. Subsequent to the launch of
Xee in April 2008, many still felt that they needed more
training before they were confident enough to implement
Xee in their churches.
FEBRUARY 27
EE Malaysia, as a member of NECF’s Evangelism
Commission, assisted in the organisation of the FIRST
Evangelism Symposium in Malaysia. The Symposium
was attended by national Christian leaders and a national
strategy to work together was formalised.

our new rented premise is double the previous

bigger premise and new facilities, we do hope to
be able to serve the EE churches better and to have
even more trainings in future to further equip the
body of Christ to share their faith.

fund the re-location of our EE office and the cost

should mention to our friends and supporters that
to date we have received less than RM5,000 for this
effort. If the Lord impresses on you to partner with
us and share in this ministry, then it will enable us
to continue sowing and investing in eternity.
Next year, we hope to introduce EE to more towns

COUNTING MY BLESSINGS
T he idea of taking over from Maureen Chai as EE Malaysia’s National Coordinator for the Kids EE
ministry for a term of two years, starting from 1st January this year, did not stick well with me at
first. There were many “what if ’s” and “fears” in me. However, God spoke to me in several occasions,
and I finally agreed. It has been 11 months since I started and I can only thank God for blessing me
with so many opportunities to be able to serve with so many wonderful partners in the ministry. This
has indeed been a busy year for Kids EE both within and beyond our nation, but in each occasion, we
have experienced God’s faithfulness and how His caring hand carried us through each time we faced
challenges.
We have had three Kids EE clinics in our nation so far this year:-

Bintulu: Special Kids EE Junior Leadership Clinic (14-17 March, 2009)

This was indeed a special clinic as we would
normally only accept those who are 17 years
old and above into a clinic, but in this clinic,
we trained 11 of our Kids EE semester-trained
teenagers (15 & 16 year-olds) to be trainers.
Six of them were from Ming Ong Methodist
Church, Bintulu, and five from Miri Gospel
Chapel. These young people have been with
Kids EE since year 2004 and have been helping
in several clinics as Junior Team Leaders at
the age of only 13 years old. During the clinic,

 EE NEWS
we saw how God raised these high-caliber teenagers to serve Him. They were very passionate about

His Last Command... Our First Concern

sharing the gospel and the team work that they displayed was beyond our expectation. They were
capable of teaching like adults, and even delivered a higher standard than that of some adults. We were
really amazed by what God was doing in these young lives. We pray that more Kids EE-trained children
will continue to grow spiritually like this group of teenagers who have caught the vision of their part
in the Great Commission. Their testimonies will surely encourage more parents and children alike to
be involved in a ministry like this.

Kuching: Trinity Methodist Church Kids EE Leadership Clinic

(6-10 June, 2009)
We also witnessed how God used this clinic
to re-launch the Kids EE ministry in India.
Benjamin Thomas (India’s newly-appointed
Kids EE Director) was the last person to enroll,
just two weeks prior to the clinic. In this clinic,
we saw families serving together in Kids EE,
and it was a beautiful sight to behold. Robert
Ting, from Bintulu, brought his wife and three
sons - two teenagers and a 5-year-old - to the
clinic. He was one of the clinic teachers while
his wife and two teenage sons served as team
leaders. While everyone was busy in the clinic,
5-year-old Roland would also be busy memorizing the Gospel in the Nutshell complete with hand
motion. Debbie Heng, from Sibu, and her daughter, Victoria, were there to serve as team leader and
helper respectively in the clinic. What can be more beautiful than a family coming together to serve the
Lord in the same ministry! Though the number of registrations was low in this clinic (there were eight
clinicians), but the decision to carry on with the clinic despite the low number had much significance
in helping to re-launch Kids EE in India, and to launch China’s Kids EE ministry two months later. We
have learnt that by trusting and obeying God, we will experience His faithfulness, and it has been such
a blessing to be part of His wonderful plan.

Kota Kinabalu: Basel Christian Church of Malaysia 3rd Kids EE Leadership

Clinic (24-28 August, 2009)
This was the 3rd Kids EE clinic in Malaysia this
year. It was more an East Malaysian affair for

Sunday School children may not be sure of their salvation and need to assured. Through Kids EE,
we can help them to express their faith and deepen their understanding of being followers of Jesus
Christ. They can then become effective witnesses to their peers, and even be able to be sent out into
the mission field with the adults.

Below is the summary OJT report for the above mentioned clinics:

Professions 19 13 40
Assurance 0 2 1
Rejections 1 2 1

% of Professions 95% 62% 91%

Many times our clinics were sustained by a group of faithful prayer partners. Without them, our clinics
would probably face more challenges. Therefore we really want to thank God for providing us a group
of faithful prayer warriors to intercede on our behalf, and I do thank all the prayer partners for always
praying for us. Let us continue to uphold the Kids EE ministry in our prayers with the following items:

1) The last clinic, and Teachers’ Training, for the year will be held in Johor Baru,
hosted by Johor Jaya Presbyterian Church.
Nov 23 & 24, 2009 – Kids EE Clinic Teachers Training;
Nov 25 – 28, 2009 – West Malaysia 4th Mandarin Kids EE Leadership Clinic

2) All the Kids EE-trained adults and children continue to stay active in the ministry.
May their testimonies speak loudly so that more will be encouraged to participate
in the Kids EE ministry as well.

3) God will continue to raise more partners to meet the growing demand for more
clinic teachers to serve in both within and beyond our nation. God will also
continue to protect those works that have been planted in many other countries.

4) The Kids EE vision to be caught by many more churches throughout Malaysia.

5) God’s hand upon the plans and clinics in year 2010.

6) The translation work of Bahasa Malaysia (BM) Kids EE materials to be completed

soon, and for BM-speaking leaders to be raised to take charge of the ministry and
to introduce Kids EE to many BM-speaking churches throughout the nation.

FirST Adult EE
Semester
T rinity Community Centre, Petaling Jaya, held their first Adult EE semester
this year from 29th April-12th August. Thirteen leaders and full time
workers were trained. It was a truly blessed and wonderful experience to train
this group of committed people. Everyone who participated in the semester,
including pastors and trainers, were very focused and faithful in attending
classes, going out on OJTs, and doing all their assignments weekly. They had
worked very hard indeed, but the most important thing, was that they all had
an enjoyable time witnessing to 105 people, out of which 53 people gave their
lives to the Lord! This first semester of Trinity Community Centre was indeed
a great success, and they have already launched their second semester on 2nd
November with 14 trainees. Praise the Lord for His goodness and hand upon the church, and may they
continue to give of their best to the Lord and see Him do even greater things in this second semester!
By Mrs. Rubina Ho
EE Implementation Advisor and main Teacher-Trainer for this semester.

Before I was trained in EE, my walk with the Lord was mainly based on His
promises in the Bible. At times when I’m faced with trials and problems, instead
of looking to the Lord, I would quickly try to find ways to solve the situations,
and normally it would be carnal or worldly ways. After having gone through EE,
I began to realize the error of my ways and learnt to fully transfer my trust from
myself to the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation and for everything that happens in
my life.
EE has given me the tools to share my faith and has taught me how to start
conversations with friends and strangers. It has helped me to overcome fear and
has given me confidence and boldness to know that wherever I go and whomever
I meet, I am equipped to effectively share Jesus and His plan of salvation. Before being trained in EE, I
would share the gospel in bits and pieces with no clear continuation, but now I am able to clearly share all
the relevant gospel points with illustrations that enable the prospect to understand the gospel better.

In one of my on-the-job trainings, my trainer asked me to share my testimony and part of the gospel
presentation. However, when the opportunity came, I managed to share not only my testimony, but the
whole gospel presentation with illustrations. The Holy Spirit not only enabled me to do more than I
thought I could, but also moved the prospect’s heart to be attentive as I shared. He was impressed by
how God can do the impossible for us and finally, convicted by the Holy Spirit, he accepted Jesus as His
Saviour and Lord. The Holy Spirit is looking for open and willing hearts who will believe in Him to do
the impossible, and I would encourage us all to trust and allow Him to do impossible things through us.

Overall, this first EE semester has been overwhelmingly inspiring. Trainees and
trainers have experienced new revelations and awesome moments of God’s hand.

His Last Command... Our First Concern

EE, which stands for Evangelism Explosion, should also stand for Excellent
Evangelism. It is a course which has extraordinarily given our trainers a sure
method and a definite direction to save the lost.

The record of almost 60 souls won for the Kingdom of God in such a short
period of time speaks volumes of the value of this course. Our church growth
has progressed so expediently that it has excited and built the confidence of the
congregation. EE is a must for every church in order to be aligned with our Lord’s
command to go out to make disciples. Surely, heaven rejoices over our church growth which has amazed
all of us.

Our gratitude and appreciation to Mrs. Rubina Ho and her husband, Mr. Ho Ah Chye, who brought EE
to our doorstep and who have been a true blessing in our semester. May God bless them indeed. We will
surely continue using EE until the day that our Lord comes back for His church. Amen!

Two Xee Clinics at a Go!!

His Last Command... Our First Concern

5th – 8th July 2009

T here was much excitement in the air for EE on

July 5-8, 2009 as there were two Xee clinics
running simultaneously with a team of 28 leaders
and students, mostly in their teens, who flew in from
the States just two days before. They were from the
Rio Vista Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United
States and had come to serve as trainers in the two
Xee clinics as part of their missions. The two clinics
were held in Wesley Methodist Church, Klang and in
the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship, Malaysia
Pastor Rob Pacienza facilitating at the Full Gospel Business
Headquarters in Petaling Jaya. Men’s Fellowship clinic

Out of the two 3½ days training, there were 49 people

trained altogether and 19 who gave their lives to the
Lord. The excitement of those few days culminated
on July 8 night with a combined Graduation Service
at the Restaurant Jaya 33 in Petaling Jaya. The night
was filled with joy and excitement as testimonies
were shared, certificates were handed out, various
ones gave performances, and cameras clicked away
to remember the night.

All the participants enjoyed the learning experience

throughout the two days of training that with Xee,
there was no longer the need to confine teaching
EE within the church walls. Trained and certified

XEE ROCKS
His Last Command... Our First Concern
AGAIN !
A fter having a successful first Xee semester in
our church last July, Michael Diong, Yong
Wai Ping and Poh Kim Kee were recruited as
trainers. I remember discussing the possibility
of our team running an Xee semester in the
Methodist Boys’ Secondary School, Kuala
Lumpur with Wai Ping last year, and she was
very keen on the idea. Wai Ping is a teacher at
the school, and was given the task to oversee the
Chapel Service and its committee just prior to
our Xee semester training in 2008. God’s timing
is always perfect!
The Xee semester for the boys was held on
August 24 to 28 this year. It was daily Monday to
Friday from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm. Seven trainers
comprising of Elder David Low, James Tang,
Michael Diong, Mrs. Chew Poy Hoe, Poh Kim
Kee, Yong Wai Ping and myself took on 14
students aged between 13 and 19 for the training.
These students were the incoming members for
the school’s Chapel Service Committee. When
they turned up on the morning of the first day
of training, which was held at the KL Wesley
Methodist Church’s Multipurpose Hall, most of
them looked like they had been ‘dragged’ there.
Not surprising, since it was the school holidays,
and they’d surely rather be somewhere else, but
as the days went by, it was a different story.
Throughout the training, these students were
like sponges. They practically “soaked up” the
gospel outline in no time, and started asking for
real prospects instead of the role-playing with
one another. The Connect Activities were the
most exciting part of the training for them. I felt
like laughing and crying at the same time when I
16
observed my 13-year-old trainee share the entire
gospel with a primary school boy and led him to
Christ!
There were times when we trainers felt more like
we were the ones being trained when we had
prospects who could speak only Chinese and our
trainees who knew the language shared the entire
gospel while we trainers listened and observed.
I had to consciously try not to drop my jaw in
awe, especially when they managed to handle
objections themselves. So, when four Chinese
students made their professions in one of our
Connect Activities, we all went home amazed.
Not only the trainees, but the trainers too, were
transformed by what transpired that day. I’m sure
all of us went home that day feeling “Wah, like
that also can!” (our Malaysian expression for
speechlessness).
The Methodist Boys’ Secondary School,
Kuala Lumpur is such a wonderful harvest field.
The Confucious School and the Methodist Boys’
Primary School near its vicinity also provided
us opportunities we never had in the past. And
then, there was the Boys’ Brigade as well. We had
a total of 72 prospects, 22 professions and 10
assurances. Praise the Lord!

Ms. Yong Wai Ping, Teacher

His Last Command... Our First Concern

Initially, I was worried whether the students would be able to cope, but they
surprised us, as they learned so fast. In the beginning they were so passive, but
the moment they owned the gospel outline, they just could not sit still. They
wanted to go out and share the Good News. The students went out into the school
compound and the Petaling Street area and shared their hearts out in English,
Malay and Mandarin. 22 people accepted the Lord. Hallelujah! This is God’s glory!
What can I say but praise Him!

Lee Zi Sheng, Form One Student

I always thought that sharing the gospel would be a scary thing. I didn’t know how
to start, and I was scared that it would end up in a debate. After being trained in
Xee, I learnt how to share the Gospel in a systematic way. It is clear and easy to
understand. When I went for the Connect Activities, I would feel the joy of serving
God. It didn’t matter how many people were led to Christ, it was the joy of sowing
the seed in peoples’ hearts and successfully sharing the Gospel to the prospects
that mattered. During the training, I also re-affirmed my faith and was re-assured
myself that Jesus is the only Way.

Evelyn Lum, Upper Six Form Student

I find the Roman Handshake illustration, which illustrates the faithfulness of God,
very applicable. It really serves as a reminder and also comforts me that God will
never let me go. The greatest part of this training is that I now know where and
how to start sharing the gospel with my friends. I actually look forward to going
for tuition and to school now, because I’m so excited that I want to share the Good
News with my friends.

Kieran Ng Kien Quan, Form One

Before the training, I had never shared with anyone that I knew, friends or family
alike. Through the training, I not only learned connecting skills and how to share
the gospel, but I also gained confidence in doing so. After this training, I feel new.
I feel like I can do something for God. I have also found one of my life’s purpose,
and that is spreading God’s Word and expanding His kingdom bit by bit everyday.

with anyone, leading to the Gospel presentation
- and it doesn’t matter how the person responds.
What is important is that the person gets to
hear the Gospel and the seed has been planted.
The most exciting part about the semester was
indeed the On-the-Job Training. Not only was
this something Jesus did with His disciples, it
also helps to translate all our head knowledge
into application.
Now I no longer share the Gospel with pre-
believers simply because of Christ’s mandate. I
am beginning to experience God’s heart for the
lost. I desire to live a lifestyle of evangelism and
EE is the tool I can use to achieve it.

FULL GOSPEL TABERNACLE

His Last Command... Our First Concern

Adult EE Clinic 16-21 June, 2009

The clinic ended on Father’s Day, 21st June 2009, with sad goodbyes. The 29 clinicians had come from four
different countries, 19 different churches. They came from the Brethren, Baptist, Charismatic, Methodist,
Assemblies of God, and Adventists persuasion. All together united to equip their congregations for the
end-time harvest. During the clinic, 47 people heard the gospel, out of which 26 people prayed to accept
the Lord Jesus Christ!

Thank you very much for recommending that we be
sent for the Adult EE Leadership Clinic in Malaysia.
I have learnt a lot from the clinic about spiritual
life and how to run an EE clinic from a model
EE church... they did it perfectly. Also, the prayer
partners were a big impact to the clinicians because
we would always receive notes of encouragement
and prayer mails in our pigeon-holes. It made us
more excited and more confident. The trainers
were also all very good presenters. Everything from
accommodation, transportation, to meals were
so good that I can’t find any words to express my
heartfelt gratitude to all of them.
Gratefully,
Djhan
FGT 19th Adult EE Leadership Clinic was
the best, world-class EE clinic that I have ever
attended! Once again, thanks for allowing us to
go. In the future, I am sure I can help EE Vietnam
from what I have learnt in this EE Clinic. Please
pray for me.
Greetings from Japan! I took the 13-weeks training
19 years ago in PA. Though I was not a very
committed student, I was born again through
it. So, this Leadership Clinic was like a time
machine for me! As I was memorizing the outline
of the presentation and reading the textbook, I
was returning to the FIRST LOVE and FIRST
EXCITEMENT I found in Jesus for the first time!
From the time I was born again till now, I have been
exposed to many Christian programmes, teachings,
camps, seminars, books and many dynamic
worship services, and so many times, I would feel
unfulfilled. No matter how excited I would get
with the dynamic worship services and how much
I learned about God in classes, there was always
one question in me - “By this, do lost people get
saved?” During this week of the EE clinic, the Holy
Spirit kept reminding me, saying, “Here is the place
everything started, and here is the place you need
to come back and STAY.” It has been so long since I
last felt I could devote myself to something without
asking that question. I flew to Malaysia with high
expectations of learning and equipping. I believe
the Lord has responded to me overwhelmingly.
