True Jesus Church (GPS: 5.85885, 118.04124) is a church in Sandakan, Sabah was the first True Jesus Church in Malaysia. It was established in 1927.
The first True Jesus Church sermon in Malaysia was preached in 1926. Following that first sermon, a deacon from the True Jesus Church in Singapore, John Voon, gave a copy of the Holy Spirit News to his friend Tsen En-Fook of Kota Kinabalu. Holy Spirit News was published by the Nanjing True Jesus Church General Assembly, and encapsulates the teachings of the church. Tsen passed the material to his friend Lee Siak-In who was in Sandakan. Lee was a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, but after reading the material, he was so moved that he went to the True Jesus Church in Singapore, where he met up with John Voon. After going through their teachings, he was baptised into the True Jesus Church on 11 January 1927, and three days later, he received the Holy Spirit, according to True Jesus Church teaching. Returning to Sandakan, he established the True Jesus Church there.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
