For anyone who's concerned and desirous of supporting CERC in their ministries, I strongly encourage
you to support them financially; to see the gospel expand in terms of the growth of the churches,
conferences, teaching in Malaysia and around the world.
THIS IS A VITAL MINISTRY that is very important to continue.

Professor of Christian Theology at
The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, USA
Currently, we have expanded to a point that we urgently need a new home.
God has placed CERC in the Klang Valley — a growing hub of nearly 10 million people by 2030 and
home to students from all across Malaysia (East and West) and Southeast Asia.
The Gospel opportunities are immense,
but the work is great and cannot be done alone.
Your giving enables us to train leaders, preach God’s Word,
and disciple believers to serve Christ in every stage of life.
We are due to exchange contracts at the end of Jan 2026.
By God’s grace, a building has become available that is right at the heart of KL — well-connected to every
part of the city. This means we can travel out more easily to grow the gospel in different regions,
while also having a large enough space for many more generations to gather and grow.
To secure this building, we need to raise a total of
RM19 million ($4.54 million) by the end of April 2026.
A little more than 40 days ago I was abandoned by all of my followers, condemned as a criminal, and publicly
executed. I really had a tough week. However, the tomb I was once in is now empty, and I have since shown myself
and my glorified body to more than 500 people! I'm happy to report that, as a result, I am now running about
120
followers (though we would have liked to see more, given the uniqueness of the resurrection event). You should
know that the only place we have to meet is a hot, stinky upper room. Sure, we'd love to have a better meeting
place, but we want you to know that we're not just spending your money willy-nilly. Anyway, pray for us, and
please keep sending money.
In Me, Jesus.”
This is what it might have looked like had the risen Christ had to write the ancient equivalent of our modern-day
missionary support letters. If you've ever had to raise money as a church planter or cross-cultural missionary,
you know how awkward writing such letters can be.
If you're on the receiving end of those letters, you may wonder why so few of them feel authentic or meaningful.
While they certainly serve an important purpose—keeping supporters, prayer partners, and family members up to date
on our ministry—for this we will keep writing. Updates will still come because we are more interested in sharing
our lives than we are in selling our ministries.
