Malaysia is a country in Southeast Asia that is blessed with a multitude of ethnicities and cultures. It draws a rich heritage from its Malay, Chinese, Indian, and Indigenous peoples. Straddling the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea, its geographic importance and rich biodiversity brought Dutch and British influence in the 18th century. These colonials also spread Christianity throughout the country, with a steady 10% of the 32-million population nation keeping the faith throughout the years, with many residing in the eastern island of Borneo. A middle-income country, Malaysians share a love of food and badminton. 

However, issues of poverty and injustice are present. Racial, religious, and political tensions have bloomed, and a reliance on foreign workers and migrants in local industries, as well as refugees fleeing persecution, have added pressure to Malaysia’s society. As needs rise and grow, it is all the more necessary that justice, mercy, and love come to the fore.

Micah Malaysia is a growing network of local Christian agencies desiring to put integral mission into practice. Through social action, advocacy, teaching, and evangelism, Micah Malaysia seeks to live out the words in Micah 6:8: to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God. In doing so, we seek to be a transforming force for our nation.  We call upon the Malaysian Church to create a more just and compassionate society for the poor and powerless, to build a flourishing Malaysia, and to engage in the realisation of the Kingdom of God. 

Micah Malaysia is affiliated with Micah Global, a thriving and effective global network of 89 countries, united together for integral mission. Among the organisations within the local network are Malaysian CARE, Kuala Lumpur International Friends Fellowship (KLIFF), Theos Leadership and Asia CMS.
