The International Revival Meeting is an annual prayer and revival meeting alternately held in the cool highlands of Ba Kelalan and Mount Murud. The meeting is run by the local Lun Bawang tribe and conducted in both English and Bahasa Malaysia.
Mount Murud rises majestically from the highlands of Borneo as the highest mountain in Sarawak at 7,954 feet (2,424m).
Straddling near the boundaries of Sarawak and Kalimantan, the imposing mountain has attracted many to discover its secrets. Two attempts were made to reach its summit in 1914 and 1920 by J. C. Moulton, the then Sarawak Museum curator. Both times he failed citing the insufficient food and native porters, and reports of a nearby Dayak invasion.
The First Successful Mount Murud Expedition
In October 1922, his successor who was also a Swedish zoologist Eric Mjöherg managed to conquer the mountain after much travail and hardship. The abundance of plants and animal species filled the zoologist and naturalist’s soul to the brim that he spent six days on the mountain’s summit and wrote glowing accounts of his experience in his book Forest Life and Adventures in the Malay Archipelago (1988).

Testimony by Shirley Yeap
In summary, it was a very, very rewarding, humbling and awesome trip. I met so many LunBawangs and Kelabits. They are so gracious, gentle and beautiful folks. Their sufficiency is in Christ alone, I would say...
