Intervarsity Christian Week (ICW) is the only annual, student-led event in Malaysia that brings together over 20 Christian Fellowships (CFs) from universities across the Klang Valley for the gospel. Now in its 5th year since its inception in 2018, this groundbreaking gathering saw more than 500 students come together to celebrate their unwavering love for the gospel and to strengthen their commitment to Christ’s work on campus.
The event provided a rare opportunity for CFs to unite, much like the Avengers assembling, to share resources, ideas, and prayers, while encouraging one another for faithful ministry.
“I really enjoyed ICW because it’s the only time I get to see so many CFs from other universities working together to make Christ’s name known. I met amazing friends from other universities, and we had a great time serving God together!” said Shu En, 19, from Taylor’s University.
Ehud, 23, from Brickfields Asia College, reflected on the deeper purpose: “ICW shows a unity that’s not based on convenience or friendship alone, but on the truth of the gospel. That’s why we bear with each other in love to make this event a success.”
Mercy, a member of the ICW organizing committee, expressed her joy for ICW and hopes for the future: “This year, ICW successfully united people from different CFs for the faithful proclamation of the gospel. Many came together to debunk misconceptions in CF ministry. Through organizing this event, CFs also learned best practices from one another, sharing struggles and encouraging each other to persevere. We pray that the passion for the gospel will continue to spread across more CFs in Malaysia until His kingdom comes.”
ICW has firmly established itself as a beacon of gospel-centered unity, inspiring students to persevere in their mission to proclaim Christ on their campuses, all for the glory of God.
About the Intervarsity Christian Week (ICW)
ICW is a weeklong event where many Christian Fellowships (CFs) from universities across the Klang Valley gather together over 5 days to celebrate their unity in the gospel. It’s happening from the 30th of September to 4th of October 2024.
The concerns of ICW are as follows:
– Unity under the truth
– Commitment to grow the gospel in every university
– Sharing experience, knowledge and resources.
– Diversity. Unity. Interdependency.
This significant gathering brings together over 20 CFs, including those from Taylor’s, Monash, INTI, IMU, MAHSA, BAC, UKM, and many others, with participation from more than 200 students. In this event, the students encourage each other to continue in faithful ministry, sharing resources and ideas to build a healthy CF and praying for each other.
