Comments from previous participants...

…I am amazed at the kind of enthusiasm and energy exuded by your team (some of that has rubbed off on me since my return to Ipoh)… I have caught onto not only the broad picture of the cell church but also details for the implementation of ministries like prayer, children, family life... Malaysian participant

…I have really seen what a cell church is....I especially thank you for my attachment with one of your zone pastors who helped me to understand the practical outworking of her role. Hong Kong participant
