Alpha Meeting: Kuala Lumpur!


Last Monday, I kidnapped my board of trustees in Alpha Philippines and dragged them to Kuala Lumpur to attend a special Alpha gathering hosted by Dato’ Yeoh Seok Hong and Datin Kathleen at the Ritz Carlton on behalf of Rev. Nicky Gumbel and his friends from Alpha International.

Here's a shot of my board, all of whom have been, either reluctantly or joyfully, been taken hostage by the Lord Jesus Christ:



From left to right we have the inimitable John-D Borra, former Finance Secretary Roberto F. de Ocampo, Jun Fernandez, and Alpha Philippines Chairman Salvador B. Zamora II.

Here's a shot where we took intrepid adventurer and Alpha enthusiast Bear Grylls hostage:


From left to right we have my good friend Jonathan Tse, the dashing John-D Borra, Bear Grylls, Bobby de Ocampo, and Jun Fernandez.

While the meetings in themselves were inspiring, the rest of our Asia Pacific sojourn involved, largely, perspiring. I will try to upload photos, and an account of the eight hours we spent in KLIA in another entry. Till then, allow me to express my great joy at having gone through such an amazing couple of days. More posts to come!
