Our missions in Sarawak and Sabah dates back to beginnings in the late eighties when Canadian missionaries came to gather souls. Especially the retired Ap. Edy Deppner has made enormous efforts over many years. Today these two countries belong to NACSEAsia, are integrated in the NAC Malaysia and the District Rectors from the Indonesian part of Borneo are responsible for the further development of this area.
Keningau congregation
The Apostle responsible for the area, Ap. Samuel Hadiwidagdo invited the District Apostle to the church dedication in Mengkak in the interior of Sarawak. The congregation exists already over 20 years. Referring to Haggai 2:9 the District Apostle elaborated that not only the visible church has to be built but also the temple within us to house the Holy Spirit and to give room for His activity. Nothing shall prevent us from building the outside nor the inside of the church.

In Sabah a divine service was conducted in our Keningau congregation. The sermon was on Psalm 139:1, God looks for us, He knows us and is always near to offer salvation. He knows what we are in need of. Let us accept His help and follow Him.
