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.

Thank you for your interest and love to want to support CERC and her ministries. We have three funds that you can give towards to:
Dear Ministry Partners,
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 5,000 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.
