The leaders of five different Chinese Brethren Assemblies from Seberang Perai met at Alma Impian Gospel Centre on 25th.March 2007. The leaders met to discuss over the issue on" What causes the slow down of church growth and development".
After much deliberation they discovered that the major reason for stunted church growth and ineffective church testimony was the lack of drive in the leadership. What made poor leadership? It was suggested that the lack of direct involvement in church ministry, caused the leadership to be indifferent in attitude towards church ministry, and also resulted in lack of visions.
It was also mentioned that Christian parents were putting too much emphasis in their children's education achievement, and could not care of bringing them up in the church enviroment. They would prefer to see their children excel in their studies and lack of knowledge of God. This has resulted in poor spiritual desire among these children. Very often these Christian chidlren skip church services to attend to outside activites.
The leaders also made some review over the development of each assembly represented in the meeting. The Group agreed to adopt the work in Sungai Petani. A sub-committee was formed to visit the Sungai Petani Gospel Hall and to see how we could help to encourage them and to help meeting their needs.
The leaders also planned for some common activites for 2008. The meeting ended up with a simple dinner provided by the host.
