In the year 1951, there was a believer, Sis Lee
(late deaconess) from Sg Petani who permanently moved to Malacca. At that time,
Malacca church was yet to be established.
In the year 1960, Sis Lee suffered from a
critical disease but through the mercy and the grace of God, she was healed. In
order to repay the grace of God, Sis Lee decided to offer her house as a prayer
house.
In the same year, Sis Chow Choon Mei and her
entire family moved from Seremban to Malacca. Due to Sis Chow’s work which
requires her to work on Saturdays, both Lee and Chow family could only have
services on Friday nights. That was why Dn. James Chin (now an elder) set the
second week of the month as the week to conduct Holy Communion.
Bro Wong Ren Kuang’s (now as Dn Philip Wong)
House as Prayer House (1983~1987)
In the year 1983, Sis Lee Siew Choo resided
permanently in Kuala Lumpur after her retirement. Therefore the venue for the
prayer house was changed from her residence to Bro Wong’s (now as Dn Philip
Wong) home. During that time, the Singapore’s members would pastor the Malacca
flock according to the arranged schedule. Due to the increase in the number of
members, there was a need for a place of worship.
The Establishment of Malacca Church (Taman
Asean) (1987~2003)
In the year 1987, with the guidance of God, a
double story shop lot at Taman Asean was bought with the cost of RM 84,000 and
the building was dedicated to the Lord during the Spiritual Meeting and
Dedication on 20th-21st of August 1988. During this time,
Dn. James Chin (now as Elder) did not stop pastoring the Malacca church till 15th
of October 1991, when Bro Wong Ren Kuang was ordained as Dn. Philip Wong,
followed by Sis See Eng Hua as Dns Mary See.
Malacca Church (Cheng Perdana) (2003 till
present)
In the year 2003, due to the increase number of
members, the church spent RM 400,000 to purchase a double story cornered shop
lot (the current church building) and completed renovation in the month of July
in year 2004. The members had their first service on the 8th of July
2005 and had their Spiritual Meeting and Dedication on the 20th - 21st
of August in the same year. Currently the church has 70 members, 10 truth
seekers and the attendees for normal Sabbath Services consist of 50~60 people.
