We rejoice to share with you the good news of another promise our Lord has fulfilled to Shachah Ministries International. We recently purchased land for the “Shachah Ranch”, which will be home to the Shachah Worship and Discipleship Center.
The “Shachah Ranch” consists of 40.8 acres of lush landscape which includes a 5 acre private lake abounding with fish. It is located near the beautiful town of Emory, Texas, only two hours driving distance from Dallas / Fort Worth and ten minutes from Lake Fork - a fisherman’s paradise. The property is valued at US$280,000.00.
We have taken possession of the property on May 23rd, 2008. With your prayers and support, we hope to have the Worship and Discipleship Center up and running by Spring 2009.
Please pray to be co-laborers with us at the final stage of the great river.

Proverbs 29:18 states that “Without a vision my people perish.”
In 1984 we received a vision from the Lord of three individual streams merging into a great river, at the horizon the river flowed into the ocean. It has taken twenty - four years for the entirety of the vision to unfold.
The First Stream:
Bible School Training at Christ for the Nations, Dallas, Texas (1985-1986)
These were the years of training and foundation laying. Our marriage was restored as we lined up our lives with the Word of God. He taught us the importance of intimate worship by first developing a relationship with Him. Then He helped us build our trust and confidence in His faithfulness and goodness through the many trials and testing of raising a family and establishing the ministry.
The Second Stream:
Shachah Ministries International & Daily Bread Church in Asia (1987-1995)
Jesus granted our desire to serve Him. Our first service took place in the very delicate pastoral ministry as we pioneered a church and then served with the native and the main line churches both in Malaysia, East Malaysia
and Singapore. At the same time the three month discipleship training school for the creative arts was being established. The definition of the word disciple finds it roots in the word discipline, one of the
character traits that are needed to anchor the talents we have seen in the church today. (Matthew 28:19)
Third Stream:
The expansion of Shachah Ministries International, USA (1995)
The year 1995 marked our return to the United States. In obedience to Christ, we have continuously traveled throughout the continental United States, various countries in South America, and Asia. Our purpose was to
train worshipers. We have conducted many seminars, workshops, and conferences. To this day, we are amazed to see the response of many who desire to worship the Living God. Over the span of thirteen years, we have established our headquarters in Dallas, Texas. Our branch offices and training centers are in Singapore and Japan and an affiliate office in Hong Kong. The Lord carried out His plans through “willing and obedient donkeys” like us. |

| A Summary of the Three Streams |
|
|
| |
- Shachah Home in Malaysia was both a ministry and a discipleship center for seven years. At its peak we had 45 people in our home, many who were widows and orphans and a few who were leaders-in-training for the church.
- The Daily Bread Church in Malaysia where the majority of its members were college students and young adults.
- The Three month Modular Training School and the Two week Intensive Training course first started in 1988 in Asia and then the USA.
- The International Worship Conferences and Seminars: ( i) Fireworks In the Heavenlies - gathering the body of Christ together for the purposes of spiritual warfare and intercession for the nations. (ii) Seminars - where worship and discipleship were imparted

To establish the Shachah Worship & Discipleship Center
The Lord has allowed us to acquire a facility where we will be able to continue to offer the discipleship training. The study of His Word and what He says concerning worship and the creative arts will be the main focus. Practical training and lectures on project management, nutrition and leadership are part of the curriculum. We plan to build office
buildings, training facilities, a chapel, dormitories for students, cabins for visiting ministers, a prayer garden and much more.
We have been waiting on God’s perfect timing for this vision to be fulfilled and we know that NOW is the time.
The Lord Jesus commands us to “Go ye therefore and make disciples…” Matthew 28:19
Blessings always,
Pastor Michael and Magrate Yap
