International Day of the World's Indigenous People
This year, we were able to celebrate International Day of the World's Indigenous People @ G Hotel, Penang which also marked the opening of an art exhibition to raise funds for the OA. We are grateful to Mr Marco and the management of G Hotel for their continued support of our projects, and we wish them every success in their undertakings.
Meet The Natives - Penang Style
A busload of villagers we work with visited Penang from 18th - 20th December 2009. For many of them it was the first time out of the village, while for some the first time to a city. It was a memorable weekend for one & all and we thank you for your support.

On behalf of the team (Glenn, Michele, Emma, Christine, Rose, Anne, Jani, Zaiton, Yan, Mike & Moses), I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support not just for this weekend, but also towards this Ministry throughout the year.
The Team:
Although we are not able to mention each one of you by name here, we pray that the Lord who knows whatever you have done (even when there was no publicity), will bless you & reward you generously for your generosity. Whatever has been achieved so far would not have been possible without your prayers & support.
Have a blessed & meaningful Christmas!
