The main street in Gua Musang, with the railway station at the far end.In our recent East Cost Trip, we visited several churches in Kelantan. Our first stop was Gua Musang, a strategic town located in rural southern Kelantan. Gua Musang is the main hub linking the state capital, Kota Bharu, to other parts of West Malaysia. There are excellent road connections to Cameron Highlands, Ipoh, and Kuala Lumpur.
Gua Musang is a growing town. The limestone hills surround this town, giving it a very interesting character rather similar to Ipoh, the state capital of Perak.

The Presbyterian church in Gua Musang, the only church in this district, was established during World War II. Despite having a small congregation of about 25-30, this is a rather vibrant and warm church. Without a pastor for many years, a senior minister from Wakaf Bharu travels to this church every week to minister to the congregation here.

Is there any one out there who hears the calling of the Lord to be a shepherd for the the flock in Gua Musang?

Deacon Chua was a member of our church. He is doing a great work in Gua Musang, a bi-vocational "shepherd" of sorts! The west coast needs more people like deacon Chua.
It's a small world! Deacon Chua is also instrumental in initiating an english service for the Christian students who are undergoing national service based in Gua Musang. A real model for many of us.
