Gregory Vijayendran, coordinator of the Advocates Asia Prayer Calendar, shares on the coming 2009 Advocates Asia Conference in Malaysia on 27-28 November 2009:

“Let us continue to uphold the organizing committee of the next AA Conference to be held on 27-28 November 2009. According to an e-mail received from the organizers: ‘The theme for the Conference is “Living the Micah Mandate Today” based on Micah 6:8 (“What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God”). In particular the Conference will be focusing on the issues of Human Trafficking (including human organ trafficking) and Religious Liberty. There will be a variety of local and foreign speakers. We expect the sessions to be informative and personal with break-out sessions to formulate affirmative actions to be taken so that we can and will move beyond just talking at the conference.’
Praise God for Malaysian Christian lawyers’ heart of generosity, hospitality and sacrificial service for the rest of Asia! Pray for the organizing committee - for God’s continued anointing, leading and wisdom (James 1:5)…”

… The 37-year-old complained to an employment tribunal that he lost this position for reasons related to religion or belief and was thus the victim of descrimination based on his faith as a Christian. The station denied discrimination, arguing the tribunal has no powers to hear the case as Mr Masih was not an employee. In a ground-breaking decision, the Reverend Masih’s case will be referred for a preliminary ruling to the European Court of Justice to decide if volunteers are protected by anti-discrimination legislation. If upheld, the consequences for employers in their dealings with volunteers who are open about their faith could be very significant….
