Malaysia (International Christian Concern) — In mid-December, more than 10,000 Christians in Sibu, Sarawak Region celebrated Christmas with a parade. The parade was organized by the Association of Churches in Sarawak. This follows another significant Christmas caroling event in early December, where nearly 2,500 Kuching Christians and carolers gathered to sing songs, worship God, and celebrate the birth of Christ.
ICC welcomes these peaceful events in Malaysia, a nation where Christians and churches have, over many years, been attacked and persecuted. Christmas can often be a risky time for many Christians around the world. So, to see and hear reports of the courage and desire for Malaysian Christians to gather and celebrate the birth of Christ should be a huge encouragement to all Christians!
HOW TO PRAY: Pray for protection for Christians in Malaysia through the New Year. Praise God for the peace they’ve had so far. Pray for Christians in the region to boldly proclaim the love of God.
