Oh, Malaysia!
I simply don’t have time right now to tell you everything that I need to share, but with honesty I can say that I never dreamed this trip would turn out like it has. One word…INCREDIBLE!
We have seen over 60 people convert to faith in Christ, and trust me when I say when someone here says they are a Christian, they have thought about it, considered the consequences, and decided that Jesus is worth whatever price they may have to pay for their confession of faith. We have shared the gospel with students from Kenya, Libya, Nigeria, China, Indonesia, Thailand, and Iran. The students that have made professions of faith literally have the opportunity to change nations for the gospel.
The conference I spoke at was for university students all over the city of Kuala Lumpur as well as the entire nation of Malaysia and Singapore. Our conference led up to the Passion World Tour that was held last night in the big city. Over 4,000 students gathered last night to worship and hear a great message about the movement of God in our world among young people. I also had the honor to spend some time with Charlie Hall, Louie Giglio, and Chris Tomlin before Passion last night. They were 3 of the most gracious and humble men I have ever met.
When I have more time, I intend to write about all of the amazing things we have seen over here. (Actually, I have already written the posts during my all-nighters in the hotel lobby unable to sleep with jet lag). Until then, pray for our safe return home later this week.

It is incredible to hear of so many leaders of the God movement, currently happening worldwide, becoming intertwined. Praying together, leading together, connecting, and promoting the same vision of making Jesus famous.
Very cool man!

Wow, Clayton…didn’t know you were headed to Malaysia in the middle of busy summer camps! I was just praying for you this week that God would open doors you’ve never imagined in your ministry for your future. Man He answers my prayers quickly! Much love to you and the fam…we’re so proud of the way you are lighting up the world for Jesus. On the other hand, this is our greatest desire for you. In every way possible, include your family in your ministry and keep that bond strong. Let your sons always know they were your priority and not your leftovers. Your boys are part of that mighty movement among young people, let them always feel your time, love, and the best of what you have to offer the world.

hey Clayton!
great to have you with us, together with the youths from Cheras Baptist, KL and the Summit team. Having you at Connexion and Passion::KL was indeed one of the moments that God had planned for us ALL to meet at the very spot.
Glad you love the fruit, the DURIAN and the brownies you had today at the Vaughan’s.
See you at the twin towers. Hope to visit America next May and help you out at Summer camp together with Justin and Brent.haha
much loved,
wilson

hi Clayton, I was there for the Connexion Conference and also Sunday Service at PJ First Baptist (which takes like 7 hours to end)… Passion kinda stole the ‘light’ but I like both! I am glad to have made it for both conferences. I’m really empowered and blessed. Thank you!
