Methodist Prayer Convention

The 2nd Methodist prayer Convention (2011) will be held in Kingwood Hotel Sibu from 29/4/2011 (Friday) to 1/5/2011 (Sunday). The Sarawak Chinese Annual Conference and Sarawak Iban Annual Conference have been entrusted to organize this convention. There will be 3,389 participants from the following Annual Conferences:

Sarawak Chinese Annual Conference - 2,326 people

Besides, there are 51 Organising Committee members and 161 volunteers.

The theme of this convention is “”Spreading Scriptural Holiness Transforming the Nation".  Foreign main speakers have been invited to speak in the Convention. There will also be ten workshops run by various local Malaysian Pastors and lay members.  We hereby urge all participants to report themselves early for this auspicious Convention.

On May 1st (Sunday) evening at 7:00pm, we will be holding the grand finale in Sibu Town Square. We have made preparation for 12,000 to attend this function.  We hereby urge our Churches in Sibu East, West Districts, and those nearby from Bintangor, Sarikei and Kapit to join the service in Sibu Town Square.  The usual evening services in these churches will be shifted to Sibu Town Square.  For the grand finale, there will be presentation by a joint choir of a thousand members and Holy Communion to be administered by a hundred Pastors.

This occasion is difficult to come by and could well turn out to be a once in a lifetime gathering for many of us.  We therefore once again urge all Methodist Church members and other Christians to gather and pray for our nation together.
