Had the oppotunity this week to attend a Seeker's Course at our local church in Subang. I was trully refreshed as the speaker in the video went through the possiblities of Jesus being a Liar, Lord or Lunatic. What He taught was out of this world, radical and the evidence today of the teachings of Jesus and the old Testament laws in our daily lifes is proof of the influence of Jesus upon the world for generations. The Judaic Christian infleunce in our society today is practiced by most of the civilised world.
I also had the opportunity to take an afternoon off to attend the first FCCI (Fellowship of Companies for Christ International) seminar conducted by Mr. Ken Humphries. Again, the truths and the Word was radical and it goes against most business practice (common but bad in Malaysia) like paying suppliers...and on time!
I am excited about some of this ministries that are opening up for me. Will have to see where the Lord leads. Just spend a day settling a squabble in my office between 2 key employees which took a lot out of me and my time. Would not mind having a small group of similar business owners who could provide affirmation and counsel.

Why not develop the concept of a Christian Business Advisory Board for your company...where you gather a number of Christians you respect to meet once every other month to discuss issues pertaining to work and faith?
I have a couple of CEO friends that I respect and have begun to meet with them from time to time.
Yes that would be encouraging to have. FCCI apparently is able to organize groups like these. Have you heard of them?
They sound familiar but I'm not sure I'm as sold on the idea of a formal group like that. I think its about relevant, trusted relationships...people you know who are doers, not just hearers...who share a similar God centric view.
Was that the Alpha course your attended?
Pablopabla;
No our church is doing a "seeker's group" - 6 weeks (adapted from alpha course). That's to help unbelivers investigate for themselves the issues of Christianity which will help them come to the faith.
FCCI is an organization founded in the US. FCCI seeks to bring Christ to the marketplace. They are starting a chapter here and the chairman is a good friend, David Ong - owner of Reapfield and the President is Lim Kah Hui.
