March 2008 - Prayers Fill the Town Square

Sibu 5:00 AM

Organised by the Laity Committees of Sibu East and Sibu West Districts, and in collaboration with Methodist Theological School (MTS), a combined prayer meeting “Watch and Pray for Sibu” was held on 26 Jan 2008 in Sibu Town Square at 5:00 am. More than 200 people filed into the town square at dawn when the sky was still dark.
 
Under the leadership of Rev. Kong Chong Ling, Superintendent of Sibu East District, and Rev. Wong Mee Ing, the participants were led to pray fervently for Sibu, for the nation and for the church. They ended this one hour session with a prayer walk around the Square three times.
 
“In the past, we had prayer meetings held especially for the safety of Sibu. The church leaders saw the need and desired to see this continued. We chose to hold the combined prayer meeting outdoor because we believe that this gesture symbolizes Christians reaching deep into the heart of Sibu,” said Rev. Kong after the prayer meeting.
 
Five more combined outdoor prayer meetings have been planned for Sibu, gathering once in two months until
November this year.
 
As Jeremiah 29:7 said, “...Pray to the Lord for it (the city), because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”
