Formation of Tamil Methodist Church Bahau as a Local Conference

TAC News

Tamil Methodist Church Bahau was formed as the 51st church of the Tamil Annual Conference, Methodist Church in Malaysia on Sunday 23rd February 2014 by our president Rev. C. Jayaraj.

The work started in Serting, Jempol, just
outside Bahau, in 1990 with four families meeting together for fellowship and prayer. This grew into regular weekly services, where they continued to meet in the home of one of the members.

Soon the homes could not contain the growing
congregation and in 2000 we rented and
moved to our first shop house in Mahsan,
Bahau.

At the 38th session of the TAC in November
2013, the formation of Tamil Methodist Church, Bahau as a local conference was
officially accepted.

The church has 62 members with a strong
leadership and an active congregation who participate in all church activities. Other than the Sunday services, the members are actively involved in the weekly small group meetings in their respective areas and weekly prayer in church, together with fellowships of the MYF, MW and MYAF. The church school also meets weekly.

The
formation service was officiated by our President, Rev. C. Jayaraj, and District Superintendent, Rev. A. James Ravindran with senior pastor of TMC Seremban Rev. Raymond Raj Ponnuthurai. It was well attended by members of the EXCO of TAC, pastors and members of our sister churches as well as members of other denominations in Bahau.

We had a very meaningful and blessed service
with our president sharing God’s word, “Geared for Growth” based on the passage from Ephesians 4:14-16.

We take this opportunity to thank all the
faithful servants of God who have tirelessly labored in this soil. We thank our mother church Tamil Methodist Church, Seremban for being our beacon of light and guiding us on and leading us until our foundation has
been firmly put in place.

Above all we wish to thank our Lord Jesus
who has chosen us as His people and placed us here in Bahau. We will continue to honour our Lord by sowing the seeds of the gospel in this area.

Together we shall move: “Forward in Faith”

To God be the Glory
