ABOUT US
The Revival Years
The years after the first revival in the late 1920's which saw a dramatic transformation to the people and the land, were bountiful and peaceful. Everyone in the village worships the God of Israel and professes Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.
Little did they know that God had greater plans for them.
Teaching and Training in the Ways of God
In 26 October 1973, the bible school teachers from Theology School of Sijil Injil Borneo (SIB) Sarawak and Sabah conducted a Teacher's Seminar in Kampung Baru Theology School, Krayan, Indonesia. Participants came from all over Indonesia to learn all they can from the experienced teachers.
After the conference ended, Pak Tagal invited several Indonesian evangelists to visit SIB Buduk Nur, Ba Kelalan. These evangelists originated from Timur, Kopang and East Java where revival has taken place about 20 years before. Together they gave advice and guidance on how to harness the power of the Holy Spirit.
The Turning Point
This was the turning point where Pak Tagal learned about the mighty work of the Holy Spirit. A desire and deep longing came to his heart to hear what God has spoken or revealed to them through visions, prophecy or audible voice. He led a prayer group with like-minded souls and God, in His grace, imparted many gifts during this time to the group. Every vision and prophecy was subjected and filtered with the Word of God to verify that the source is indeed from God.
A man called Pa Agong Bangau and a lady called Maria Gukang were part of this prayer group. God raised them up as His spokespersons and gave them the gift of prophecy. Through Pa Agong, God revealed His plans and purposes to establish Mount Murud as the site for His church. The signs and wonders are listedhere.
From 1975 when God first imparted the vision to the completion of the Church Camp building in 1990, He has unceasingly shown Himself faithful to finish the work He began in His peoples' hearts.

International Revival Meeting Begins
Every year in May, the Lun Bawangs will make their way up to the steep craggy mountain to seek God's face in worship and prayer. It is a special time for God to minister deeply into their souls. Come July during the International Prayer Meeting (IPM), they are then ready to minister to other worshippers that come from all parts of the world.
As word got around, foreigners began to join the International Prayer Meeting. As the challenging climb up Mount Murud limits attendance to only those who are physically fit, the IPM is also held in Ba'kelalan every alternate year so that the elderly and the infirmed would not miss out on God's presence and blessings during the prayer meeting. Please refer to our Itinerary page to find out the dates and location of this year's International Prayer Meeting.
Still, there have been instances where physically ill people have pressed on to make the climb. One lady was in so much pain that she made the climb in tears. Yet she pressed on. All she wanted was a touch from God. Our merciful God honoured her faith and perseverance, and healed her from her illness. This and many more other testimonies are listed in our Testimonies page
