Sarawak, Borneo (Photo credit: One Laptop per Child)"Agriculture not only gives riches to a nation, but the only riches she can call her own" -Samuel Johnson
"I have discovered that youngsters are coming out of school with no marketable skills. And some of them don't have the scholastic skills to get into college. And those who are in college sometimes leave college lacking the discipline and we want them to develop discipline and good work ethics. We want our young people to pursue higher education as well as learn discipline and work ethic which is tehe reason we opened the college," he explained. Pastor Jeremiah Duncomb
The idea of an Agriculture Bible Campsite or Center was sown into my spirit one morning as we fellowship and worship the Lord Yeshua in Spirit and Truth. Pastor Jeremiah Duncombe had pastored for many years in Barbados and what is true there is also true in Sabah, Malaysia Borneo especially with the children of indigenous Christians who are the main target of BN's islamization programs toward the formation of a global Caliphate and the introduction of Syariah Law in Sabah, Sarawak, Malaya and other parts of Asia.

| Rear Perspective - Proposed ABC Pre-fab KgCampHouse |
Bahasa Melayu: Gambar buatan. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)Over the weekend, we worked out a pre-fabricated camp structure that can be easily erected and dismantled, if needs be, and moved to another site with minimum expenditure. It is estimated to cost RM30,000 or less, depending on the materials used, cheaper if 2nd hand materials are available, and can house between 30 - 50 adults with basic amenities like clean water, cooking and basic sanitary facilities, 24-hrs electricity and internet wifi connectivity; a meeting or fellowship room of 20' x 28' and parking spaces for about 10-15 cars.
The distance from KK to the campsite is only 35.45 miles (bird's view) and takes about 1.5 to 2 hours by car, depending how early one starts the journey as it gets cloudy up in the mountain around mid-day and there is a tendency of traffic jam along the way. Sandakan in the East Coast of Sabah is about 4-5 hours travel by road and is about 103.14 miles (bird's flight).

While attending a Watchmen and Intercessors 7-day seminar in Station of Life, Lahad Datu, I had the opportunity to share about the Lord's great concern for the youths especially those who migrated to the urban areas or cities in search of work and greener pastures, with those who are burdened with souls for Christ; one of them is the late Datin Helen Koding nee Richard, who took over the mantle of the president of the GPI, Gerakan Perkabalan Injil Malaysia, an independent non-denominational Pentecostal charismatic Church, who shared how the Lord one day brought her in a vision to all the main town and cities of Sabah and she was very shocked to observe girls as young as 14 years old peddling their bodies in the coffee shops and karaoke for only RM5.00 to men of all ages just to have some cash to purchase food.
"Where were the Churches in Sabah - what are they doing ?" This was her question before she went with the Lord 3 months after that.
So it is with this concern that we step out in faith to go out, moving from our comfort zones, to the very 'battle fields' for the fertile minds and souls of these young and future leaders of this nation.
Kundasang is predominantly populated by Muslim Kadazans of the Liwan/Tindal Tribes, most of whom were the descendants of parents who sided Mat Salleh to fight the Bristish and another Kadazan tribe, the Tuawons of Tambunan. But twenty years ago, the Lord spoke through a few sisters and brothers in Christ that the biggest Church in Ranau district will be located in Kundasang. Today, we have an Anglican and Catholic Church, besides SIB and others, strategically located in the area.
