Malaysia Missionaries to Offer Testimonies to West Midland Churches

Three young Malaysian Christians who have been serving English churches in Shropshire and the Black Country will be giving their testimonies as Missionaries to the West Midlands this weekend at Lichfield Cathedral.

The three missionaries will be joined by two youngsters from Staffordshire and the Black Country who have spent the past few months working with churches in Malaysia.

The event has been organised by the St Chad's Trust which arranges working exchange visits between young Christians from churches in the Lichfield Diocese and the dioceses of West Malaysia, Kuching and Sabah.

Regina (Reggie) Arumugam, aged 26, from St John's Church, Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur Anglican Cathedral in West Malaysia, is currently working as a St Chad's Volunteer in Holy Trinity Church in Hadley, Telford. Reggie was formerly a PR Officer and team leader in a large communications company in Kuala Lumpur.

Julie Tan, aged 27, from the Church of the Good Shepherd in Johor Bahru is currently working as a St Chad's Volunteer in St John's Church at The Pleck in Walsall. Julie was formerly an IT specialist with Hewlett Packard in Singapore.
