MALAYSIA

The number of churches desiring to dig deeper in understanding God's global purpose has expanded over the past decade. Many Malaysians have taken the Kairos course in both English and Mandarin, and as a result are wanting to grow deeper in their understanding of God's heartbeat for the nations. The Perspectives course fulfills that desire.

Perspectives was officially launched in Malaysia in 2019, conducted in English, and fully led by Malaysians. As Malaysia has a significant Christian Chinese diaspora, the following year the course was also offered in Mandarin. Like so many others during the global pandemic, Perspectives Malaysia offered its first online program in 2020 in both languages, allowing many others from the region and as far away as Africa to enroll.

Increasingly churches are mobilizing their members for cross-cultural ministries, especially to refugees and migrant workers in Malaysia, and to the unreached in Southeast Asia.

Perspectives is undergirding this mobilization and is a tool in equipping long-term workers to serve among unreached people groups.
