Malaysia

Being Malay is synonymous with being Muslim. Chinese or Indian citizens can choose their religion, but it is almost impossible for a Malay Muslim to convert to Christianity. Yet still Muslims come to know Christ. Officially, the constitution provides religious freedom. However, in recent years, judges have offered personal interpretations of parts of the constitution. People who want to change their religious affiliation on their ID cards from Islam to anything else now have to go to Sharia courts.

Pray:

• For Muslim-background believers; once discovered, an MBB can be sent to a re-education centre until they agree to reconvert
  
  
• For church leaders who have to be very cautious as their services are watched
  
  
• Outreach to Muslims is strictly forbidden. Pray that Christians will have courage and wisdom to know how to share their faith
