February 2007-Methodist Prayer Convention 2007
The SecretariatSince January this year the Secretariat for the Prayer Convention started operations. Manned by Ms Chang Meng Chien and based at the Methodist HQ, the Secretariat will be the coordination centre for the Convention.
Amongst the myriad matters that are on-going two things that will be coming out soon are the application brochures and a CD for the churches to introduce the Prayer Convention to their congregations. Watch out for these in your church.
Introducing the Coordinator for Intercession – Dr. Chan Geok Oon
It is very appropriate and indeed essential that a Prayer Convention as we are having be sustained and covered by prayer. Dr. Chan will be gathering a team of intercessors from Methodist churches to pray for this meeting well before August. During the three days of meeting the intercessors will be praying round the clock.

Dr. Chan taught in the School of Education, Universiti Sains Malaysia, in the 1970s and early 80s. In 1982 God called her to serve Him in another way, and from the mid-1980s she began her intercessory ministry with the Lydias Prayer Group in Penang. Based in Sitiawan with the Light House Watchmen now, Dr. Chan is helping to raise more small cell prayer groups of like-minded people eager to pray, that will meet faithfully, weekly to pray for people, institutions, events, cities, Malaysia, and nations as the Lord leads.
