Malaysia is a Muslim country. Once upon a time the country was ruled by Tamil people. After that the British took control of that. They got independence in 1957. There are three major people living there: 1) the natives, 2) the Indians and 3) the Chinese. Basically it is a Muslim country but when we compare it with other Muslim countries the law and rules are a little different here. Here they have a freedom of religion. The Muslim mosque only should be the only tallest structure, next the Hindu temples, third Christian churches.
When it come s tot Christianity, they have a different law. They should not build any new church. There are old Methodist and Catholic churches but other newly developing churches are gathering in the hall or auditorium. Even if they want to build a church outside it should not have a church structure. It should be like a business centre. Our Jaya TV satellite program is an international program it is going everywhere. Even in Singapore and Thailand it is going. But only in Malaysia they will cut only our half hour program. Statistics says there are 100-200,000 Muslims worshipping the true God in Malaysia alone.
Mr. George John, a real-estate businessman from Australia, born in Malaysia but he is an Indian. His children are all well-settled. He wants to do something for God. He wants to take the remnant message everywhere. So right now voluntarily he is doing missionary work specifically for Indians in Malaysia. He developed a strategy for Malaysia since it is a Muslim country we cannot directly hold a meeting. We cannot convert Muslims into Christians. His strategy is media ministry.
From 2003 he downloaded directly from the dish our Tamil program on Jaya TV, Hope TV, and 3ABN. Recently I visited his library; he has thousands of CD’s and DVD’s. His plan is to develop a media circulation library where people can come and take a DVD to their homes and watch it then bring it back and take another one. Through the power of the Holy Spirit the ministry is going well.
Through this DVD and VCD ministry, his aim is to have a kind of reaping meeting. Last year I went a few people had taken baptism, this year we had a meeting in 7 different places. Except one place, at other places 30-40 people attended meetings. In some places 10-15 but in one place 60-70 people attended. God blessed all these meetings. Next year our plan is to have meetings in 15 places.
