A meeting between ISAO Executive Committee Members and the PMST, in the presence of His Grace Archbishop Murphy Pakiam and His Lordship Bishop Selvanayagam was held at the Archdiocesan Pastoral Center, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. The dates for the 1st ISAO South East Asia CCR Conference, was finalized for 12 to 15 August 2010. St. Anne’s Church at Bukit Mertajam, Penang was chosen to be the venue, being a place for pilgrimage.
A follow up leadership formation program conduced by Cyril, Felix and Gerard followed, with both Bishops also contributing to the inputs. Gerry Pereira, a PMST Member reports – “It was truly a joy to see about 120 leaders from all the four language groups, our African brothers and sisters (community in Malaysia), from Sabah as well as members of covenant communities assemble for the Pre-ISAO Conference for Leaders. Simon Mathew, Chairman of PMST encouraged those present to work together for greater unity, and to strive to be more effective leaders in order to carry out the vision and mission of CCR. He also thanked former PMST leaders for their leadership and contribution. It was truly a blessed time of formation, prayer and healing, as they were also led to ministering and reconciliation.
