For three days in late April, the Southeast Asia Leaders Conference was successfully hosted by GCI Malaysia. The participants were pastors and church leaders from the Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar, and Malaysia. Asia Superintendent, Dan Zachariah and his wife, Mary, also attended.
The following topics were covered:
-
-
- Fundamentals of Incarnational Trinitarian Theology by Aron Tolentino (Philippines).
- Kingdom Culture and Kingdom Living by Devaraj Ramoo (Malaysia).
- Theology of Healthy Relationships and Harmony in the Church by Dan Zachariah (India).
- Development of GCI Asia towards Healthy Church (part 1) by Audie Santibañez (Philippines).
- Development of GCI Asia towards Healthy Church (part 2) by Rex dela Peña (Philippines).
- Development of GCI Asia towards Healthy Church (part 3) by Tim Andrew Rota (Philippines).

One of the highlights of the conference was the lively interaction. Participants were actively engaged, and individual opinions and comments were a great benefit. The conference also had breakout groups that discussed the finer points of the topics that were presented. The participants enjoyed relaxing activities and dinner in the evenings.
On the Sunday, all the conference participants attended Sunday church service at the Klang congregation. Pastor Joselito Olaguer of Thailand and Pastor Chan Thleng of Myanmar gave split sermons.
It was very uplifting to see the grace and Kingdom Culture so vividly displayed among the members of the church. The presence of the Holy Spirit was so evident on all the days of the conference.
