D28 : Stepping into the Statewide Community Transformation Process

Sarawak Christian leaders are increasingly aware that, despite their years of success in raising the Christian population in the State, the general welfare of the people of the land and the Christian influence in various arenas (education, business, family, politics, media and entertainment) remain comparatively backward, and thus community transformation has remained dismal. This has led to the recent surge of passion and call of God among the church leaders on the whole perspective of church’s active involvement in the transformation process of the community through the various societal arenas. God has begun doing a special work in the hearts of a number of Christian leaders of the State to look beyond the four walls of the church and seek Him for specific calls to impact the community. This has never happened at this scale before and we believe it is just the beginning.

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven Matthew 5:16

Prayer Suggestions: • Pray for the Christian leaders of the State to receive fresh revelations on the meaning and process of community transformation in response to God’s commandment to ‘…go and make disciples of all nations’. • Pray for the more leaders to seek God for direction and strategies in influencing the community through various arenas or ‘mountains’. • Pray for the unity of the church leadership statewide on specific community transformation initiatives. • Pray for breakthroughs in the heart of the overall Christian community to do more than just church-based programs.
