I warmly recommend the CEP Course for anyone wanting to handle God’s word accurately and relevantly for contemporary times In an age when the preaching of God’s word is weak, where heresies abound and ignorance of the Bible grows, more than ever the church in Malaysia needs stronger biblical preaching and people who can teach and preach the Bible well The church grows deeply under the word, and more than ever the need is there to preach well.

It has been my privilege to follow closely the development of CEP and to say that I am glad it has now come to fruition would be an understatement I am very gratified and grateful to our Lord Jesus Christ that at long last we have a centre locally for the specific purpose of training preachers of the infallible Word of God I heartily commend those who have been involved in its formation, and recommend it to all who have been called to preach God’s Word. Its balanced curriculum of biblicaltheological-practical emphases and its wider connections via KVBC’s legacy of promoting expository preaching, stand it in good stead to meet our need for training preachers who can rightly handle God’s Word in our day

ONG MENG-CHAI Former Associate Director of CEP

As a youth ministry worker who seeks to share God's Word with students across schools and churches in Malaysia, the importance of developing skills to handle the Bible correctly and to teach and preach from the Scriptures faithfully cannot be understated.

I am thankful for the way the CEP course has helped train and equip ministry workers in Scripture Union as they seek to reach young ones with God's Word I highly recommend this course to all teachers and preachers of the Word
