MALAYAN STORY
As the records finished, he was most eager to see the ‘Two Roads’ poster I had brought and have it
explained. They seemed to understand all I said, and the Headman repeated every phrase and
seemed to get more and more animated as we went along. I was very conscious that this might be
our last opportunity to preach to them before they were moved into the village proper, seeing we
were actually on the Malay’s land. After contrasting the difference between Mohamed and Jesus
who could forgive sins and open the way to heaven, I asked him if he understood. He repeated the
whole thing from the beginning to the end and said he believed in the Lord Jesus. I stressed again
the main points of repentance and faith and forgiveness and we finished with prayer in Malay. He
said he would be very glad if we would return whenever we could. Please thank everyone for their
prayers and pray on that the newer group to which the Headman belongs may be moved very soon
into the village our of Malay control.”
Leah was still with us at the beginning of 1957 and reported at the Field Conference in January
1957 that she had been able to make more visits to the group near Behok. She had discovered that
there was another settlement 27 miles from Kluang and a larger number in the north of Pahang,
some of whom had responded to the Gospel when they were visited by the Gospel Recordings
team. It was recommended that further enquiries should be made regarding the opportunities
among these people. Owing to the reports of restrictions upon evangelism among them, it was
thought that an approach through medical work might be the most stragetic.
