雙涯亞卑位於內陸省丹南鎮以南十四公里,是第一間毛律族教會。一位沙巴傳道團的追隨者,沙河亞合是雙涯壩祈禱所張繼偉弟兄的好友。

1960年田腓利執事在張弟兄家證道,聽道後願意接受真理,聚會後再邀請田執事前往其村落傳揚真理,村民深受感動,當天就有30人受洗歸入主名下。因聖靈同工,相繼有更多村民相信真道受洗。

因為沙河很受村民之尊敬,加上神蹟奇事顯著,信徒得到聖靈,所以其他教派的信徒也來相信真理。因此整個村落的村民都受洗歸真,非常榮耀神。

於1961年4月17日建蓋一所竹片圍牆會堂,1982年重建木板圍牆會堂。根據1985年信徒名冊受洗人數有880人,有許多信徒遷往其他村落,信徒們每到一村落也傳揚真道建立教會,沙巴毛律族教會因而開枝散葉。

Sungai Apih Church

The Sungai Apih Church is the first Murut church, located at 14.5 kilometers south to Tenom township in the Interior of Sabah. Sahoh Ahor, a follower of the Sabah Evangelical Mission, was a good friend of Brother Kai Wee Chong of the Sungai Paal prayer-house. One day in the 1960, Mr. Sahoh went to visit Bro. Chong while Deacon Philip Tyan was holding service at the Chongs residence.

After listening to the service, Mr. Sahoh accepted the truth and invited Dn. Tyan to preach the truth in his village. Many of the villagers were touched and 30 were baptized into the Lord then.

By the work of the Holy Spirit, more villagers believed in truth and were baptized. Because of Mr. Sahohs being well respected by his own people, Dn. Tyans sermon followed by the manifestation of signs and miracles, and villager receiving the Holy Spirit, many believers from other denominations believed and accepted the truth. Consequently, the whole village accepted the truth and all were baptized.

Praise be to our God.

A bamboo-walled church was built in 1961 and was rebuilt with timber in 1982. Record in the membership registry showed that a total of 880 people were baptized by the year of 1985.

Many of the believers propagated the truth whenever they moved to other villages and established many churches. Therefore, the Muruts True Jesus Churches spread and prosper in Sabah.
