Day 61 -100
• Rev 7:9-10
9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could
number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and
before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and
crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the
throne, and to the Lamb!”
• John 17:20-23
20 “Ido not pray for these alone, but also for those who [a]will believe in Me through
their word; 21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that
they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And
the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are
one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the
world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.
 Day 61-63

• The literal translation of the Malay term 'Orang Asli' is 'original

people'. The Orang Asli are generally classified under three main
groups - Negrito (Semang), Senoi, and Proto-Malay (aboriginal
Malay), with about 18 ethnic groups under them, collectively.
• The three main groups of Orang Asli mostly live in different parts
of Peninsular Malaysia, namely:
1. Negrito - northern region.
2. Senoi - central region.
3. Proto-Malay - southern region.
• The indigenous peoples of Peninsular Malaysia are collectively
known as Orang Asli. The 18 Orang Asli subgroups within the
Negrito (Semang), Senoi and Aborigen-Malay groups represent
around 210,000 people or 0.7% of the population of Peninsular
Malaysia. https://www.iwgia.org/en/malaysia.htm
 AGPC Day 61: Sept 16
Historically they engaged in trade with the local population that eventually invaded their lands and were also
often subjected to slave raids while also paying tributes to the local Southeast Asian rulers and kingdoms. Some
Negrito pygmies from the southern forests were enslaved and exploited from AD 724 until modern times. While
some have lived in isolation others have become assimilated with the general local population.

Pray Matthew 14:14-16

1. Forgiveness that people have enslaved
and exploited them.
2. They will rise up to take up their
spiritual authority in Christ.
3. Ministries working among them will
flourish.
4. We will bless them in spirit, soul and
body.
14 And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude;
and He was moved with compassion for them, and
healed their sick. 15 When it was evening, His disciples
came to Him, saying, “This is a deserted place, and the
hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that
they may go into the villages and buy themselves
food.” But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go
away. You give them something to eat.
 AGPC Day 62 : Sept 17
Senoi is the largest group of Orang Asli, their share is about 54 percent of the total number of Orang Asli. The
word "Senoi" means "human being" or "person". In the past the Senoi were long called "sakai" by the
Malaysians, which means "bestial aborigine" or "slave." The term sakai is a derogatory term in Malay
language and its derivative word menyakaikan means "to treat with arrogance and contempt". However, for
the Senoi people mensakai means "to work together. Senoi often were captured by Malaysians and sold as
slaves. Why are the Senoi called "the dream people"? Dreams were very important in the life of the Senoi. In
the morning the entire family, discussed their dreams they had that night.

Pray • Joel 2:28

1. Ask for forgiveness on behalf of the people
that have enslaved and exploited and even
took their lands.
2. Ask for forgiveness on behalf of the people
that had given them derogatory terms.
3. They will have dreams and visions of Jesus.
4. We will love them as Christ love them.
“And it shall come to pass afterward
That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall
prophesy, Your old men shall dream
dreams, Your young men shall see visions.
 AGPC Day 63 : Sept 18
The term Proto-Malay, which translates to Melayu Asli (aboriginal Malay) or Melayu Purba (ancient
Malay) or Melayu Tua (old Malay), refers to Austronesian speakers, possibly from mainland Asia, who
moved to the Malay peninsula and Malay archipelago in a long series of migrations between 2500
and 1500 BC. The etymological origin of "Melayu" to Sungai Melayu ('Melayu river') in Sumatra,
Indonesia. The term is thought to be derived from the Malay word melaju, a combination of the
verbal prefix 'me' and the root word 'laju', meaning "to accelerate", used to describe the accelerating
strong current of the river.

Pray • Daniel 11:32

1. They will accelerate in spirit, soul and

• Sabah is nicknamed the ‘Land below the Wind’, and

is a colourful and rich mosaic of ethnic groups. Most
of Sabah’s more than 3.5 million people can be
considered as minorities within the context of the
whole country, since they are for the most part non-
Malay and are either indigenous (approximately 60
per cent), Chinese (about 9.6%) or from ethnic
groups originating from southern Philippines,
Indonesia or other parts of Malaysia. Some of the
largest minorities are the
1. Kadazan-Dusun (about 17.8 %)
2. Bajau (13.4%)
3. Murut (4.8%). https://present5.com/a-case-study-on-the-
use-of-kadazandusun/
 AGPC Day 64 : Sept 19
About 30 percent of the population of Sabah comprises of Kadazandusun tribe and they are the largest ethnic
group in Sabah. Their ancient beliefs suggest that everything has life–the rocks, trees, and rivers are all living
things. Kadazandusun tribe produces the majority of Sabah’s agricultural products, but increasingly most
members live in towns and hold everyday jobs. They are well known for the harvest festival, held during May,
where the priest presides over a ceremony performed to appease the rice spirit.

Pray • Ephesians 1:15-21

1. Restoration of relationship between
East Malaysia and West Malaysia.
2. They will prosper spiritually and
physically.
3. Their eyes will be enlightened.
Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your
love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making
mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and
revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding
being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling,
what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and
what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe,
according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in
Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right
hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and
might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this
age but also in that which is to come.
 AGPC Day 65 : Sept 20
The Bajau community is the second largest indigenous group in Sabah and they make up about 15% of the state's
population. The Bajaus are traditionally divided into two groups - the West Coast and the East Coast.
The West Coast Bajau people settled in the inland along the western and northern coasts, while the East Coast
Bajaus settled along Sabah's east coast, concentrated in Semporna. The main distinction between these two communities is
their land/sea orientation. The West Coast Bajaus focus on rice cultivation and livestock rearing. They can mostly be found
in places like Kota Belud, Kota Kinabalu, Tuaran and Papar. On the contrary, the East Coast Bajaus are mostly referred to as
'sea gypsies' - they traditionally live in stilt water villages with fishing being their main source of income. They have mostly
settled around Semporna, Lahad Datu, and Kunak. These people are also known to have great diving skills.

Pray • Ephesians 2:4-9

1. Mercy of God upon them.
2. That we will love them as Christ loves
us.
3. They will be filled with the Holy Spirit.
4. That their daily needs will be met.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with
which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made
us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and
raised us up together, and made us sit together in the
heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might
show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in
Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and
that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest
anyone should boast.
 AGPC Day 66 : Sept 21
Murut is an indigenous group that has around 29 sub-ethnic groups settled in the northern inland region of
Borneo. They can mostly be found in areas around Keningau, Tenom, Nabawan, Pensiangan and along the river
areas of Sapulut, Padas, and Kinabatangan.
Murut literally means the 'hill people'. Similar to the Ibans, Murut people were once popular headhunters but
have since abandoned their old traditions to make way for farming and hunting instead. They are also involved
in the cultivation of rice, tapioca, fishing, and blowpipe hunting.

Pray • Ephesians 2:14-18

1. That they will be treated equally as
Malaysian citizens.
2. That the gospel will be spread
extensively among them.
3. That they will be at peace with
other tribes.
For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has
broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished
in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of
commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in
Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and
that He might reconcile them both to God in one body
through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And
He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to
those who were near. For through Him we both have
access by one Spirit to the Father.

• Sarawak is nicknamed "Land of the Hornbills"

(Bumi Kenyalang). These birds are important
cultural symbols for the Dayak people. Sarawak's
population is very diverse, comprising many races
and ethnic groups. Sarawak has more than
40 sub-ethnic groups, each with its own distinct
language, culture and lifestyle. This makes
Sarawak demography very distinct and unique
compared to its Peninsular counterpartIn general,
there are six major ethnic groups in
Sarawak: Iban, Chinese, Malay, Bidayuh, Orang
Ulu, Melanau and several minor ethnic group
 AGPC Day 67 : Sept 22
Also known as Sea Dayaks during the British colonial days, the Iban community are historically renowned for their ancient
headhunting practices and for being a fiercely loyal warring tribe during the olden days.
Their excellent headhunting and tracking skills also came in handy during the Japanese occupation in the 1940s. Many Iban
warriors fought against Japanese soldiers during military operations, and 14 of them were awarded with medals for helping
to liberate the nation from communists.
Traditionally, Ibans live in communal structures referred to as longhouses (rumah panjai) but today many of these
longhouses are equipped with modern facilities like washing machines, telephone lines, and the Internet. Sadly, there are
rural areas lack basic necessities such as running water and electricity.

Pray • Ephesians 6:10-12

1. They will be equipped with the armor of
God to wage war in the heavenly realm
against principalities.
2. They will be strong in the Lord.
3. Their basic necessities will be met.
4. Speak blessings over them.
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the
power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God,
that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the
devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers, against the
rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual
hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
 AGPC Day 68 : Sept 23
The Bidayuh, also known as the 'Land Dayak', is the second largest indigenous group in Sarawak. Bidayuh
means 'inhabitants of the land' and they make up about 8% of the Sarawak population.
Concentrated mainly on the far west of Sarawak, most rural Bidayuh villages can be found in the rural areas of
Lundu, Bau, Padawan, Siburan, Penrissen, and Serian. The rural Bidayuh community traditionally practice
shifting rice cultivation, however, in recent times, they have moved to be involved with producing crops like
rubber, cocoa, pepper, and palm oil. Like the Ibans and most other indigenous communities, the Bidayuhs are
traditionally animists but in the recent years, a large number of them have adopted the Christian faith.

Pray • Phillipians 2:1-4

1. Let’s speak blessings over them.
2. That we will love them.
3. They will be filled with the Holy
Spirit.
4. That their daily needs will be met.
Therefore if there is any [a]consolation in Christ, if any
comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if
any affection and mercy, 2 fulfill my joy by being like-
minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one
mind. 3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or
conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others
better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for
his own interests, but also for the interests of others..
 AGPC Day 69 : Sept 24
Orang Ulu is the fourth largest ethnic group in Sarawak and they make up about 6.7% of the Sarawak population.
However, Orang Ulu is not a legal term and such a racial group does not exist. It is a phrase that was coined and popularised
by a minority association known as 'Orang Ulu National Association' (OUNA) to collectively describe around 27 small, yet
ethnically diverse tribes in northeastern Sarawak, including the Apo-Kayan, Kenyah, Kelabit, Lun Bawang, Kayan and Penan
people. The Kelabit community can mostly be found in the Kelabit Highlands, in the northernmost part of Sarawak, located
about 100km southeast of Gunung Mulu in Bario. The Kelabits and their neighbouring Lun Bawang people produce the
fragrant, sought-after Bario rice.
The Bario Revival was one of the most massive outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon a community in our nation’s history. But
what happened in 1973 was only the beginning. Despite the ebb and flow of the waves, three more outpouring would come
in 1975, 1979, and 1984.

Pray • Genesis 26:18-19

 AGPC Day 70 : Sept 25
Also known as the A-Likou (river people), there are around 123,410 Melanau people, making it the fifth largest
ethnic group in Sarawak. Sarawak's south-central coastal wetlands between Bintulu and the Rajang River has
been the traditional territory of the Melanau people for centuries, concentrated in areas such as Oya and
Mukah. They speak the Melanau language, which has more than 10 dialects under it. The Melanaus were
traditionally farmers, fishermen, and traders.
Animism is the traditional religion of the Melanau people but major parts of the community has converted to
Islam, except for most people Melanaus in Mukah and Dalat that have become Christians.

Pray • Isaiah 66:12-13

1. Peace of God will flow into this
community.
2. Glory of God will flow from here to
others part of the world.
3. We will get to know more about them
and love them.
For thus says the LORD:
“Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, And the glory
of the Gentiles like a flowing stream. Then you shall feed;
On her sides shall you be carried, And be dandled on her
knees. As one whom his mother comforts, So I will comfort
you; And you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”

The Malays are an ethnic group predominantly inhabiting the Malay Peninsula and parts of Sumatra and
Borneo. They form the largest community in Malaysia and play a dominant role politically. They make up of
more then half of the total population. By constitutional definition, Malays are Muslims who practice Malay
customs (adat) and culture.
Their language, Malay (Bahasa Malaysia), is the national language of Malaysia.

Pray • Ephesians 2:14-18

1. Peace of God to be in them.
2. Speak blessings over them.
3. Love them as brothers/sisters.
4. Remove the walls of separation
between other races.
For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and
has broken down the middle wall of separation, having
abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of
commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in
Himself one new man from the two, thus making

Malaysian Chinese people or Chinese Malaysians[6] (Chinese: 馬來西亞華人; Malay: Orang

Cina Malaysia) is a local ethnic group in Malaysia. The group is defined as Malaysian
citizens of Chinese (Han Chinese) ethnicity. Today, they form the second largest ethnic group
after the Malay majority. The proportion of ethnic Chinese among the country's total
population has been consistently declining, partially due to a lower birth rate as well as a
high level of emigration in recent decades

Pray • Isaiah 41:9-10

1. Be a blessing to Malaysia.
2. Unity among sub-ethics group of
Malaysian Chinese.
3. Fulfill the destiny of God.
You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth,
And called from its farthest regions, And said to you,
‘You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not
cast you away: Fear not, for I am with you; Be not
dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous
right hand.’
 AGPC Day 73 : Sept 28
Malaysian Indians or Indian Malaysians (Tamil: மலேசிய இந்தியர்கள் ) is a local ethnic group in
Malaysia. The group is defined as local Malaysians of Indian or South Asian ancestry. Today, they form the third
largest group in Malaysia after the Malays and the Chinese. Most are descendants of those who migrated from
India to Malaysia during the British colonisation of Malaya. Majority of Malaysian Indians are ethnic Tamil
Indians, with other smaller groups such as Malayali, Telugu, Sikhs and others. In Malaysia, Tamil Muslims are
often referred to as 'Mamaks'.

Pray • Romans 12:4-5

1. Love them as part of the body of
Christ.
2. Honor and speak blessings over
them.
3. Declare – Be fruitful and multiply!
For as we have many members in one body,
but all the members do not have the same
function, so we, being many, are one body in
Christ, and individually members of one
another.
• Malaysia has become a magnet for foreign workers from neighboring
lower-income countries, owing to fast and steady economic progress.
The foreign workforce has been hovering around 15 percent of the
total labor force in recent years according to Labour Force Surveys by
the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM). The members of the
Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have committed to
facilitate the movement of high-skilled workers, and yet, many
foreign workers in Malaysia tend to be low-skilled, work in labor-
intensive sectors such as the manufacturing, construction,
plantation, agriculture, and domestic helper sectors. Indonesians
continue to be the dominant foreign worker group, benefiting from
geographical and cultural proximity, albeit on a declining trend. This
foreign labor participation has direct macroeconomic implications.
Who is My Neighbor?
The term “Good Samaritan” is well known in both religious and secular circles generally referring to a good person that helps a
stranger in need. But what is the Good Samaritan story really about and why choose it as the name of our organization? In
Luke 10, a lawyer talks with Jesus about how he might inherit eternal life. He knows he must follow the Jewish law – love your
neighbor as yourself – and so he asks Jesus, “Who is my neighbor? ”Jesus responded with the parable of the Good Samaritan,
where a man, presumably Jewish, was attacked, robbed and left for dead on the side of the road. A priest and a Levite, both
considered honorable to the Jewish audience, passed by the man. Then a Samaritan, a person belonging to a culture that the
Jewish people of the time would have despised, took pity on the man. The Samaritan bandaged his wounds, took him to an
inn, cared for him, and left money with the innkeeper to continue the care.
When Jesus asked which of these three – the priest, the Levite, or the Samaritan – acted as a neighbor to the robbed man, the
lawyer answered “The one who showed him mercy.”
As Jesus often does, He turns the question of “who is my neighbor?” on its head and instead answers “who might be a
neighbor to me?”
We believe that everyone has something to contribute, and it may be the person we least expect that will help us in our time
of need.
God has brought many migrants from different parts of the world to our doorsteps. Let’s show mercy as the scripture teaches
us in Matthew 5:7 – “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy” and in Matthew 9:13- “I desire mercy, not

Indonesians officially number around 1 million in Malaysia. The Indonesian Embassy in Kuala Lumpur and the NGO Migrant
Care both estimate there are more like 2.5 to 3 million people living here. Undocumented women are often employed as
domestic workers — making them vulnerable to exploitation and abuse — while many men work in construction. The
Malaysian government's decision to impose coronavirus measures, called the Movement Control Order (MCO), prevented
37-year-old Yes’a, who goes by only one name, to get her first salary. The migrant worker from the Madura island in East
Java province has just started working on March 1 as a janitor at a fitness center in Kuala Lumpur when the MCO came into
effect on March 18. The situation forced the fitness center she works at to close immediately. Unfortunately, the woman
has yet to received her salary. The woman said she felt lost as she lives alone in Malaysia, without any relatives and friends.
"I don't know, sir. I am confused about what to do," she said when asked about what she would do until the restrictions are
over. Yes'a is a widow with four children who left for Malaysia in February to support her family. She was supposed to be
paid RM700 ($160).

Pray • Exodus 23:9

1. God will provide for their families in Indonesia.
2. God's mercy and protection be upon the
Indonesian migrants.
3. God's people will show compassion and respond
to those in need.
“Also you shall not oppress a stranger, for
you know the heart of a stranger, because
you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

The embassy said there are some 300,000 legal Nepalese workers in Malaysia right now – mainly in the
manufacturing and the security services sector. Many Nepalese workers in Malaysia have been suffering
different problems including human rights. The plight of Nepalese workers abroad is not new and many
recruiters and employers in Malaysia continue to get away with exploitation because the workers have
nowhere to turn. Most of the time, these workers feel humiliated, further anguished and have to return home
empty-handed.

Pray • Isaiah 1:17

1. For their families back home. Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor;
2. For their safety in their work places. Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow.
3. Boldness to speak for justice on their behalf. • Psalms 12:5

The study was conducted between May 1 and 22 by Mixed Migration Centre Asia (MMC Asia) through interviewing
Bangladeshi workers and Rohingyas residing in Malaysia to better understand their experiences and protection needs under
the pandemic impacts. About 80 percent of Bangladeshi migrant workers and Rohingya refugees surveyed in Malaysia
required extra support due to the Covid-19 pandemic – with food, water and shelter being the most urgent needs cited,
says a study.
Strict lockdown measures in Malaysia have led to widespread job losses, particularly among casual workers and those
engaged in informal sectors.

Pray • Zechariah 7:8-10

1. For their safety in the workplaces and that
they will abide by the SOP.
2. Gospel to be preached among them.
3. God to provide and care for them through
the local churches.
4. We will treat them as how God will treat
them.
Then the word of the LORD came to Zechariah, saying, “Thus
says the LORD of hosts: ‘Execute true justice, Show mercy
and compassion Everyone to his brother. Do not oppress
the widow or the fatherless, The alien or the poor. Let none
of you plan evil in his heart against his brother.’

Hanging out at the “Mamak stall” for a cup of Teh-Tarik is very much part of Malaysian culture. From business talks to
catching up with friends, we build network and friendship at the Mamak. We also encounter many migrants from India.
In the recent lockdown to curb the spread of Covid-19, the Malaysian government has released 1,168 Indian detainees from
different immigration detention camps. All of them were sentenced by the local court for alleged visa violations for periods
ranging from 8 to 15 months. Mostly were Indian nationals who went to work on tourist visas and were duped by fake
agents.

Pray
1. For their families back home and also safety
from Covid-19.
2. God to protect them from being cheated
and abused by agents and employers.
3. For more ministries among them.
• Deuteronomy 24:14-15
“You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and
needy, whether one of your brethren or one of the aliens who is in

• Six undocumented migrants from Myanmar have been reported to have committed suicide over the past month in
Malaysia. Due to the lockdowns, the migrants had all faced increased financial hardships. Many had lost their jobs or
were unable to find jobs and faced distressed over being unable to return to Myanmar.
• Undocumented workers in Malaysia are more likely to lose their jobs under the COVID-19 crises and avoid venturing
outside for food or healthcare due to the fear of arrest under the crackdown on illegal foreign workers. According a
Myanmar Embassy official, 250,000 out of over 550,000 Myanmar migrants in Malaysia are undocumented workers, and
up to 50,000 are currently struggling to make a living

Malaysia is on a mission to welcome more tourists from the Arab world, establishing itself as a cosmopolitan,
halal paradise.
In 2018, nearly 33,000 Arab tourists visited Malaysia, up from 27,000 the previous year. The number of Arab
tourists is expected to rise further as Malaysia continues to position itself as a Muslim-friendly, halal haven.
Many of Middle Eastern restaurants opens around their community area. Beside tourists, we also see a lot of
students from the Arabs world studying in Malaysia. It is estimated about 15000 Middle Eastern living in
Malaysia.

Pray • James 2:1

1. They will hear the gospel while living here.
2. They will experience personal encounters
with the Holy Spirit.
3. Against discrimination between Malaysians
and the Middle Eastern.

The number of Vietnamese work permit holders increased slightly to 80,000-90,000 by 2011, and their presence later
expanded to other sectors including construction, housekeeping, agriculture and service sectors. However, these permits
also had been used by sexual traffickers to lure Vietnamese women into Malaysian brothels; one raid in January 2014
rescued a total of 108 victims. Thousands of Vietnamese women who migrate to Malaysia full of hope for a brighter future
and better wages find themselves instead victims of abuse, exploitation and prostitution. According to some social workers
in Malaysia, trafficking in Vietnamese women has become another form of slavery. One young victim tells her tragic story. "I
was forced to work from 8 am to 8 pm, sometimes until midnight. One day, I fainted from fatigue. I wanted to go back to my
room, but my employer did not let me," she said.
Separation from families back in their home country is a hardship facing all foreign workers whether unskilled or
professionals.

Pray • Proverbs 31:9

These are common stories that we hear in Malaysia over how they were treated.
• Barely four months after they began working, 33 Sri Lankan workers have been summarily dismissed by the
management . The management has been accused of breaching certain terms in the employment contract from the
start, and the workers finally decided to complain. This seemingly harmless action, however, resulted in consequences
that the workers were completely unprepared for: repatriation to Sri Lanka within a week! The employer viewed the
workers as less than workers with rights and more like slaves. He could make fake agreements, hold the workers’
passports, and fire them as he wished, and the workers were not supposed to complain. (2015)

police report after their employer allegedly failed to pay their salaries for the past six months. (2020)
