‘Thank you so much for hosting such a wonderful gathering!  We were blessed, informed and encouraged and left buzzing with new ideas.  Thank you also for the resources you gave us.  I read The Treasure Principle on the flight home – wow, what a profound book and essential reading for all Christians!  We are so grateful to have been a part of this gathering and look forward to seeing what doors are opened and where future conversations lead us.  As mentioned, we will have a gathering of all of our European Alpha Leaders this June and we look forward to presenting them with some of the excellent material you provided’.
