Foreword / Introduction from the Prayer Booklet
In the midst of general optimism and hope, the Church has more work to do with God-given opportunities. The seeming peace in the nation calls us to respond vigorously to the call of God "who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus."
Therefore, NECF Malaysia sincerely invites you to participate actively in the nationwide 40-day Fast and Prayer & Charity and the National Prayer Rallies in your respective towns.
"My House Shall be Called a House of Prayer" is the theme for year 2004. A Church on her knees governs the nation with the Lord. May the glory of God covers Malaysia as the water cover the sea.
