Officially formed in 2005, SPAC has 27 pastors and 11 lay preachers, with 20 churches and preaching centres. It has had a Bahasa Malaysia ministry among indigenous peoples for many years and have established a number of churches.
At this Annual Conference there was a first for SPAC as three indigenous pastors were ordained deacons. Altogether five deacons were ordained – Rev. Markus, Rev. Cecelia, Rev. Jaraning, Rev.Sia How Ding and Rev. Sia How Ling. A new DistrictSuperintendent for Indigenous People (BM) ministry was appointed, Rev. Han Ai Fah.
In his presidential speech, Rev. Ling Heu Uh pointed out the importance of living out our faith in this postmodern era. Christianity has become only secondary or even useless to many. People of this age want to experience their faith. They want something they can feel, see and touch.
Rev. Ling exhorted all pastors to seek wisdom from the Lord so that they can minister to specific groups in social concerns, family ministry and children’s world.
Looking to the future SPAC hopes to plant one church per year. Rev. Ling stressed that the Church is the light of society and where the people are there the churches should be too. For this strategies is needed in cooperation with God to plant churches as the nation develops.
