He hears us... indeed. :)

Pahang to adopt liberal approach on religion

KUANTAN: The state government will adopt a more liberal approach to matters concerning religion and places of worship.... ..."The committee on places of worship for non-Muslims which I chair will meet more regularly,” he said during a dialogue with several representatives of the Kuantan Chinese Methodist Church members here... ...Ti said in the past, the issue on places of worship was deemed “sensitive” and could not be debated in the open. “Now, the time has changed and this misconception should be corrected as under Article 5 of the Federal Constitution, all citizens are guaranteed the freedom to religion... ...Citing an example, he said a church group had applied to the local authority in Cameron Highlands for years to build a church but was not given an approval.
He said in other instances, certain conditions were imposed by the authorities before approval was granted.
“These problems due to many factors such as individuals, administrative obstacles and delays should not have happened.... ...Pastor Lau Seng Lye said he was glad that the state government would be more open and accommodating on issues involving places of worship... ...Earlier, the church had submitted an application to expand their building but was rejected by the local council.


Yes, time has changed, and the time is now! For those of us who joined the 2007 40days fasting&praying, we can all be assured - tat God is answering our prayers. One by one, He's telling us tat He heard our prayers, and He's answering them now.. one by one.

Praise God for His faithfullness! Hallelujah.. shout and sing hallelujah...
Keep praying for Malaysia... keep her in your prayer list, and be encouraged! :)
