Malaysia is a diverse country made up of people from many ethnic and religious backgrounds, including Malay, Chinese and Indian communities. With a mix of bustling cities, tropical rainforests and remote villages across 879 islands, it offers both challenges and opportunities for missions. Malaysia is divided into two main regions; West Malaysia and East Malaysia (Borneo). Even with Islam being the official religion, there are still many places where the Gospel can bring light and hope. However, it is forbidden to speak to ethnic Malays about Christianity and if you are caught doing this you will be removed from the country. We have more freedom to evangelise in East Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak) as the people there are tribal and not ethnic Malay.
