NEW JUNGLE ROUTE ALIGNMENT

NEW JUNGLE ROUTE  FROM KUMPANG LANGGIR TO THE SITE OF ANPM KEDANG

A two-days survey (9th.-10th. Dec.2011) was carried to determine new jungle route alignment or direct short-cut from Kumpang Langgir to the site of the Prayer Mountain at Kedang Mountain complex. 

Clearing and making the new jungle track into foot-path will be carried out tentatively between January and March 2012.

When completed the jungle-cooling-mountainous footpath will reduce the walking-time-distance from Kumpang Langgir to the site by half- that is from 6 to 3 hours in average by-passing  Dusun Kedang.

 
The team spent the Friday night (9th Dec. 2011) in the Prayer House up the mountaion.

Below are some of the pictures

taken during the survey.

PROPHETIC SIGN

"MAP OF MALAYSIA" (or a “Sign”) in the sky at sunset was taken by Pastor Lam Kee Hing (who was a key speaker) during the 14^th Gempuru Besai Kristian Jaku Iban Malaysia (GBKJIM or Annual General Assembly of Iban-speaking Christians) held at Divisional Civic Centre  in Sri Aman in September 2010. 

ANPM Kedang wish to thank Pastor Lam Kee Hing for the spiritual message and his permission in allowing the photograph above to be published in this blog and to be used in ANPMK's brouchre. Pastor Lam Kee Hing (of Corner Stone Resources in Sabah) is a well known Christian speaker and trainer. He is reachaable via emails: shalommedia@gmail.com & crbresources@yahoo.com

Believers viewed the “Sign” as "prophetic" of “Another Waves Of Future Spiritual Revival And Transformation” in the country including Kalimantan Indonesia which would start some where from and spread out of Sri Aman Division Sarawak.

Why Sri Aman?

Based on history, Sri Aman formerly known as Second Division was the first frontier settlements  primarily of Dayak-Ibans when they first migrated out from central Kapuas region in Kalimantan into Sarawak more than a century ago.  Geograhically Kumpang River (with its watershed from Kedang Mountain complex) was the natural main gateway of migration from Kapuas into Sarawak.  Later the migration spread downward through Kumpang River valleys in Engkilili then to various localities in Batang Ai (Lubok Antu) and Batang Undop (Batu Lintang) all of which are in present day Sri Aman Division.

The sign or "Map of Malaysia" which appeared and captured during the 14th Annual GBKJIM held in Sep. 2010 was symbolic and prophetic that Sri Aman Division would be the epicentre for the forthcoming spiritual revival and transformation among local Christian communities, particularly the Iban tribe in  Sarawak as well as in Kalimantan.  In so far as Second (Sri Aman) Division was concerned which was and is the concentration of Iban settlements, the Anglican Missionary under SPG started in Banting in February 1854 which expanded upstream to Sabu (St. Lawrence Church/school) in 1863, and to Simanggang (St. Luke’s Church/school) on 28.8.1873.

Why Iban tribe?

Many prophecies about future spiritual revival in Sarawak would begin with the Ibans who were the majority tribal group and became the main focus of the earliest Christian missionary work under Society for Propagation of Gospel (SPG) which started as early as in 1848.

However evangelism among the Ibans was never really able to achieve desirable success then because of their fierce resistance in view of their involvement with bravery culture of head hunting. Christianity was being viewed then as destructive element toward the cruel practice.

Subsequently, Christian evangelism shifted focus into other indigenous tribal groups of the Orang Ulu such as Lun Bawang, Kelabit, Kenyah etc... who lived in mountainous areas of north Sarawak bordering East Kalimantan in 1934 by Evangelical Mission. The acceptance of the Gospel by the Orang Ulu communities resulted in massive spiritual revival leading to transformation in their lives from animistic beliefs and cultures to salvation in Christ Jesus.

Why the focus is shifting back to Iban communities?

Although being still the majority group in Sarawak (until now) and mostly “Christians” by religious beliefs, elements of syncretism override Christ-centred beliefs and practices. Because of syncretism, spiritual revival is very necessary to experience the fullness of Christ’s promises. It has been the prayer of many since the early days of missionary in Borneo that the Iban communities would experience the fullness of God’s salvation and blessings through Christ Jesus. In this connection, it is the vision and mission of ANPM Kedang ministry to realize God’s plan in the “kairos” of   the forthcoming revival.  

 

The search for suitable site to establish prayer mountain ministry centre started in 2003 until 2006 along Sarawak-Kalimantan Border particularly around the watershed region of upper Ketungau River in Klingkang Range (opposite Lachau Pantu Sarawak) until Bukit Besai (opposite Lubok Antu Sarawak) through to upper Merakai River upward to Kedang Mountain complex. Finally the suitable site was found in 2006 and established in 2009 at  Kedang Mountain complex by uppermost part of Merakai River in Kalimantan side of the border with Sarawak.

All Nations Prayer Mountain Kedang ministry centre is strategic and prophetic as it is located in the uppermost part of Kumpang River (in Sarawak) and Merakai River (in Kalimantan) thus signifies the return of  Dayak communities living in both sides of the border into the Kingdom of God.

Why Kedang Mountain?

Throughout the search between 2003 and 2006, only believers in Kedang Village responded positively in setting up prayer centre permanently albeit they were relatively small in numbers. God responded to people because of their hearts not numbers.    Through intercessional prayers between 2006 and 2009, it was clear that the suitable site was at the watershed regions in Kedang Mountain complex in the uppermost Merakai River. Three years after 2006 and after much prayers and deliberations, it was finally decided that a prayer house should be built thereat. Why it took three years because there was a hesitation initially that the structure(s) might become just monumental instead of impactful spiritual movement. Upon confirmations through prayers, prophecies, and visions the first wooden block of prayer house was built and completed in 2010.

Below is a picture of the 3rd Uppermost Water Fall in the uppermost part of Merakai River located by the Prayer House. The waterfall  symbolizes the outflow of spiritual revival and transformation from ANPM Kedang into both sides of Sarawak and Kalimantan.

1.    INTRODUCTION

All Nations Prayer Mountain Kedang (ANPM Kedang) also known as Bukit Doa Segala Bangsa Kedang  (BDSB Kedang) was established in 2009 at the chosen site in the wilderness of watershed of Kedang Mountain complex in West Kalimantan Indonesia.    

                                                                                                                          Trig. Station

Following a series of prayerful mountainous-site-searching  expeditions started in early 2003, a suitable site was found at GPS location recorded at N01.01376^o E111.70946^o at an altitude of 604 meters above the sea level. The location is about 150 meters away from Sarawak-Malaysia side of the international borderline inside West Kalimantan-Indonesia.   The establishment of ANPM Kedang was initiated by Bajau Biju who had served as a missionary for ten years earlier under Nehemiah International Mission covering Kalimantan. In establishing ANPM Kedang, he was supported by few individual Christians from Sarawak in strategic partnership with one core group of brethren who were local Dayak-Christian-villagers from Dusun Kedang and Merakai in Hulu Kapuas Kalimantan Barat Indonesia. Organizationally the group in West Kalimantan is called Yayasan Bukit Doa Segala Bangsa Kedang (YBDSBK) or All Nations Prayer Mountain Kedang Foundation  (ANPMKF)  based in Dusun Kedang. The approximate size of the site including its surrounding watershed forest areas of the Prayer Mountain is < 150 ha> communally owned by the local communities in Dusun Kedang through the said YBDSBK .

2.    WHAT IS ANPM KEDANG?

ANPM Kedang is the sole prayer mountain ministry established permanently to serve Dayak-Christian communities and least reached indigenous groups living territorially in the central watershed regions and plains of Kedang Mountain in the opposite side of the border areas particularly along the upper Merakai River in West Kalimantan, AND along the upper Kumpang River in Engkilili in Sri Aman Division Sarawak. 

3. WHAT IS THE BASIS FOR ESTABLISHING ANPM KEDANG?

Notwithstanding the omnipotent and omnipresence of God, the basis for the establishment of ANPM Kedang is spiritual, biblical and prophetic about the “Future Spiritual House of God” as written in  Isaiah 2:2-4 :

 “Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD’s  house Shall be established on the top of the mountains And shall be exalted above the hills And all nations shall flow to it. Many people shall come and say: Come, and let us go up the mountain of the LORD, To the house of God of Jacob, He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths”  For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.”

 “Akan terjadi pada hari-hari yang terahkir: gunung tempat rumah TUHAN akan berdiri tegak di hulu gunung-gunung dan menjulang tinggi di atas bukit-bukit; segala bangsa akan berduyun-duyun ke sana dan banyak suku bangsa akan pergi serta berkata: Mari, kita pergi ke gunung TUHAN ke rumah Allah Yakub, supaya Ia mengajar kita tentang jalan-jalanNya, dan supaya kita berjalan menempuhnya sebab dari Sion akan keluar pengajaran dan firman TUHN dari Yerusalem.”

4.    VISION AND MISSION
