Jan 09, 2021

KUALA LUMPUR: Dr T. Jeyakumar (pic) has been elected Bishop of the Methodist Church in Malaysia. He was elected at the online General Conference Meeting in September 2020. He will speak for and represent the Methodist Church in Malaysia on all matters.

The consecration was on Oct 4, officiated by Bishop Emeritus Rev Ong Hwai Teik who was thanked for his services in prayer, and education, while leading churches during recent years.

“I am humbled to have been elected the Bishop of the Methodist Church in Malaysia (MCM). It is my sincere hope that you will pray for me,” said the new bishop.

“I take office knowing that many have lost their positions and jobs. Many have become poorer. We live in challenging times, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic that has affected every area of life. We in the Methodist Church in Malaysia must not forget all who are in need and seriously try to stand in solidarity with those who have been affected, whether they are Malaysians or non-Malaysians, whether in the country or outside the country. As the Scripture says ‘Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done’ (Proverbs 19:17).”
