 <\/p>\n

In 1 Timothy 2:3-4<\/a>, Scripture states that the will of God is for everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of His truth. Yet, in many parts of the world, there are whole communities without easy access to resources that would help them to know God personally. Many of us have a calling for the indigenous people in our nation but may be intimidated by the prospect of not being able to minister to them effectively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In answer to this need, the Diocesan Men’s Council is organizing and hosting a men’s leadership retreat this September 2nd-4th at the Grand Court Hotel in Kampar. <\/span><\/p>\n

    This retreat is a rare opportunity for men who are working in – or intending to participate in the ministry to the OA and to minister to their spiritual and physical needs – to come, listen, and learn from experienced missionaries who have been working for many years on the ground in this area of ministry.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The speakers include Dr. Colin Nicholas from the Centre for Orang Asli Concerns who will be sharing the history, life, and struggles of the OA in the Peninsular, as well as the knowledge and resources held by the OA communities and their contribution to the nation. He will also be teaching on understanding OA culture and norms.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Another speaker is Dr. Wong Young Soon from Malaysian Care who has worked with the Orang Asli since 1992. He will be exploring the theological and missional underpinnings of working with the poor, as well as their practical applications in working alongside the indigenous communities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
