Today in the PC-USA Mission Yearbook

The Mission Yearbook for Prayer & Study is a daily devotional with 365 inspiring mission stories that come from next door and all across the globe. It inspires thousands of Presbyterians daily as they uphold the mission of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in intercessory prayer. The stories for the 2011 Mission Yearbook were collected around General Assembly Mission theme “Grow Christ’s Church Deep and Wide” based on Matthew 28:18-20 and Mark 9:35. Each yearbook page bears witness to the abundant possibilities of the church because of the leadership of Christ.

MALAYSIA - Malaysia is almost as divided ethnically, culturally, and economically as it is geographically. Its population comprises indigenous Malays who are primarily Muslim, indigenous groups of various faiths from the island of Borneo, and ethnic Chinese who generally follow Christianity or folk religions. The Christian community is small but by no means insignificant.
