Kuala Kangsar Chinese Assembly




It had been years since I last visited Kuala Kangsar Chinese Assembly. I have almost lost touch with the saints there except one familiar brother Siang Ming. Two months back this brother called my hand phone to ask for some advice. This contact reminded me of their need.
On 19th.July 2009 I made a special visit to the church. Attended their Sunday worship service (at 1.30pm). There were only a handful of believers gathered for worhsip that day. There were 9 of them. one young teenager and one young sister Two brother, Siang Ming and a Mr.Lee. The rest were sisters in their senior ages.
There was no musician for the keyboard. However, they sang their best in worship. Mr.Lee preached the Word. I was also given a chance to encourage the saints. The meeting ended at about 2.45pm
Having seen the condition of KK Chinese Assembly I wondered why city churches could not extend to them a helping hand. I am also puzzled why we emphasise on overseas missions, going to help up other churches in their country and neglected to send workers to work among the existing country churches locally.Is it because it is grand to work overseas and not locally? Is it easier to gather financial support for overseas missions and not for local need?
I am not surprise if KK Assembly should one day be handed over to other denominations which can offer them help and sending workers to work among them. (Who does not want, with a ready property for use and to own?)
I hope city churches give heed to such cries of help!
