Brief History and Purpose of the MSIP

The Board of Evangelism established A Ministry for the Sarawak Indigenous People, referred to as MSIP in 1998. It has a history of about 22 years. This group was formed because the Board of Missions decided to separate local missions from foreign missions; local missions are the responsibility of the Board of Evangelism. The group members are composed of pastors and lay believers who have the burden and mission to spread the gospel to the indigenous people; the group members also include the chairpersons of the evangelistic executive committees of each district. In the beginning, we had great ambitions. The purpose of the group was to spread the gospel, and to win the indigenous students in the city, the urban indigenous people, the outskirts longhouse, and the inland indigenous people. Therefore, we have longhouse adoption ministry, short-term missions, social care ministry, survey team ministry, etc.

布道部在1998年设立原住民事工小组(英文是A Ministry for the Sarawak Indigenous People, 简称MSIP). 至今有大约20年的历史了。这小组的产生是因为宣教部做了决定要本地宣教与国外宣教分开; 本地宣教是由布道部负责。组员是由有负担及有使命向原住民传福音的牧者及平信徒组成的; 组员也包括各教区的布道执行会主席。初期开始时, 我们胸怀大志, 小组的目的是要传福音, 得着在城市的原住民大专生, 城市的原住民, 郊外长屋, 内陆的原住民。所以, 我们有长屋领养事工, 短宣事工, 社会关怀事工, 考察事工, 城市国语事工等。

Ministry of Sebuyao Mission

Sebuyau  is the hometown of sister Cerol, the chairman of Matang Methodist Church BM Ministry. Thank God for giving local missionary Sis Irene visions, through this channel, God leads us into this gospel field. In 2018, Missionary Irene has followed Sister Cerol to do survey twice in this field. After two visits and meetings of Selangau area, both sides reached a consensus and allowed us to have a longer-term plan.

At the end of last year, after I put forward a discussion in MSIP Group and this plan was accepted by everyone, short-term mission team finally set off this year. I continue to ask everyone to pray continously so that Kuching and other Board of BM ministry can see the vision from it. Through their church members, we can enter their longhouses and open more gospel doors. At the same time, with the vast of mission field, we also ask the Lord to send more workers, especially the churches in the east and west district of Kuching, to harvest the Lord’s crops together.

Sebuyao宣教事工

Sebuyau福音工场是马当堂国语部的主席Cerol姐妹的家乡。感谢神给爱玲本地宣教士异象，透过这样的管道，神带领我们进入这个福音工场。在2018年，爱玲宣教士已经两次跟随Cerol姐妹到当中作实地考察了。经过两次的探访和聚会中，双方达到共识，准许我们有更长远的计划。
 
在去年年底，当我在原住民小组提出讨论并获得大家接纳之后，今年短宣队终于出发了。我继续呼请大家多多发出祷告，让古晋和其他国语部也能从中看见异象，透过他们的会友，进入他们的长屋，打开更多福音的门。同时，广阔的工场，我们也要求主差派更多工人，特别是古晋东西教区的堂会，一起去收割主的庄稼。

Team Project Daniel

Project Daniel is a team composed of young people from different parts of Sarawak. At first, Project Daniel team was named as “Calon Ke Syurga (CKS)”, which means “the candidates of heaven.” Now the team has officially changed its name to Project Daniel to match the future development direction.

Project Daniel’s starting point was started in December 2017. At that time, a group of young people were assigned to a youth camp in Ulu Julau. Surprisingly, this group of teenagers fell deeply in love with the serving for the Iban teenagers throughout this camp. The director of BOE approached the camp leader. The director saw the camp organized by the young people had a good impact on the youth of Ulu Julau, and hoped that these young people could organize such camp again elsewhere.

So Project Daniel team composed of a group of young people formally established in 2018. Every year, they will be fixed to various places in Sarawak to prepare one camp after another.

但以理计划团队

但以理团队是一群来自砂拉越不同地方的青年人所组成的福音团队。起初，该团队起名为“Calon Ke
Syurga (CKS)”，即“天国的选民”。目前，团队为配合未来的发展方向，已正式
改名为“Projek Daniel”（但以理计划）。

但以理计划最初起点是于2017年12月开始。当时有一群的青年人在Ulu Julau短宣被分配到
青少年营会。很意外的，这一群青少年因为这一次的营会，而深深的爱上了伊班青少年的服侍。年会布道部的干事找到这位营长。布道部干事看见团队所办的营会为Ulu Julau的青少年带来很好的影响，希望该团队可以到别的地方再办这样的营会。

于是由一群年轻人所组成的团队正式于2018年成立但以理团队，每一年都会固定到砂拉越各个地方筹备一场接一场的营会。

Character Training 品格训练 

– 牧者与原住民小组

当天出席的有刘会先牧师，黄晓婷牧师，刘银娇宣教士，余爱玲宣教士等等。

Selangau area, bintulu

This is one of the place named Selangau, Bintulu that we surveyed. The indigenous people were very friendly and welcomed us with their whole heart. Due to lack of pastors, the new generations of the indigenous people didn’t have the chance to hear the gospel. The Harvest is Plentiful, but the Workers are Few, so will you join us in this ministry and win the soul of the Sarawak people?
