At the request of Dr Kim Tan, a founder member of Transformational Business Network (TBN) of the UK, the Central Region organized this one day conference at the Istana Hotel, Kuala Lumpur on 28 September 2007. More than 210 Christians from a variety of churches were inspired and stimulated to begin thinking of how their business and professional skills can be used to make a difference in this world for our Lord Jesus Christ. In line with the theme, “Use Your Business Skills to Make A Difference Bringing Spiritual & Physical Transformation to the World’s Poor”, the conference introduced us to the various projects that TBN members have undertaken which had impacted upon the local communities. The panel of distinguished speakers comes from England, Australia, India, Nepal and Malaysia.
 

They spoke of the inspiration, the challenges, the rewards and the satisfaction of each of their project; from small cottage industry type project to multi million dollars large scale investment. They were looking towards further expansion not only for their projects but more TBN Conference Malaysia 2007 so for the Christian community to expand their horizon, to see the possibilities and potentials that are inherent in all of us to impact the world for the better. The poor are helpless. Charity can help for a while but not for long. Using the skills that God has endowed us with, we can set up viable and sustainable businesses that can provide the hope, the dignity and the love that the poor desperately needs. This is really being the salt and light that our Lord requires us to be.

The responses from the participants were most favorable. Their eyes were opened, their hearts stirred and their minds started thinking of the various roles they can play in the transformational process. One of the participants expressed his gratitude for the conference in that it had given him fresh motivation for an exciting second half of his business life. He could see greater success and satisfaction for his second half than his first half, and it is not just about making money.
