Hope To Declare at Christmas
Christmas 2023 was a good occasion to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ – God became flesh. “The Word become flesh and made his dwelling among us.” (Jn. 1: 14) As God incarnate, Jesus revealed God to us. (Jn. 1: 18).
In a volatile, uncertain, and broken world, we continue to celebrate and declare the hope that is for all who would trust and believe in Jesus as the Saviour of the world and the promise of the abundant life now (Jn. 10: 10) and eternal life in God’s unhindered presence (Jn. 3: 16)
We thank God that for each Christmas, MAP in partnership with the local churches, continue to sow and reap salvations for Christ. Praise God for the harvest of over 12 souls in 2023 Christmas evangelistic preaching in Faith City Church, Petaling Jaya and in SIB KLCC (Bilingual Service) in Bandar Sri Damansara.
