  and cultural activities of Iban ethnic in agriculture sector. Accordingly, this 
  study will use the interpretive approach using phenomenology approach based 
  on idealist ontology and constructionist epistemology. This study was conducted 
  in Kuala Serupai and Sungai Semanok, Kuala Tatau, Sarawak. Data was gathered 
  using in depth interview, focus group discussion and also personally observe 
  the farming activities. A total of 17 informants were involved in this research 
  using the non-probability sampling technique that includes quota sampling, purposive 
  sampling and theoretical sampling. The size of this study’s 
  sample was achieved through continuous support toward measurement or criteria 
  of theoretical sampling. The findings from the study shows that changes in religion 
  and believes occurred in both villages. The religion changes in Kuala Serupai 
  and Sungai Semanok is due to implicit factors amongst the farming community, 
  many converted to suit the desire of their children and also in hope to change 
  their fortune. At the same time, the reason being for farmers to convert from 
  their animism believes to Christianity was due to the fact that they were influenced 
  by their children whom had already been converted to Christianity.
