The National Evangelical Christian Fellowship (NECF) is a Christian organization in Malaysia.
History
The organization was formed in 1983. It was formed to provide a network of support for churches and individuals living with the challenges of religious laws, particularly the limiting of the number of sites for worship and the outlawing of public gatherings of five or more people. In 2023, almost 60% of churches in Malaysia are members of NECF.
Current status
It is part of the World Evangelical Alliance, the Christian Federation of Malaysia and the Evangelical Fellowship of Asia.
In 2023, the organization is led by Rev Dr Eu Hong Seng. Its current work includes working with churches in the area of Bible teaching, missions and social action.
