The South Pacific and East Asia Zonal Leaders Conference, held on the island of Bali in Indonesia, was led by the Chief of the Staff, Commissioner Robin Dunster. Territorial, command and regional leaders joined together in discussion, reflection, fellowship and prayer. The Chief was supported by the International Secretary for South Pacific and East Asia, Commissioner Barry Pobjie, Commissioner Raemor Pobjie (Zonal Secretary for Women's Ministries) and Lieut-Colonel Gillian Downer (Under Secretary).

During the conference delegates explored the themes 'A Salvation Army', 'A Sanctified Army' and 'A Sensible Army'. These were further developed through a series of Bible studies conducted by Lieut-Colonel Edna Williams (support officer to the Chief of the Staff). The themes had also been studied in other zonal conferences.

The host territory, Indonesia, and Territorial Commander Commissioner Ribut Basuki Kartodarsono provided a warm welcome to delegates at a united meeting at Denpasar 2 Corps on Sunday morning. As delegates arrived, each was presented with a garland of flowers before traditional Balinese welcome dances were performed by girls from the children's home.

Delegates marched into the meeting behind their national flags which were carried by children from the corps. The congregation gave the visitors an enthusiastic welcome. Bamboo xylophone music by boys from the William Booth Boys' Home provided a Balinese flavour to the meeting.

Following the Bible message from the Chief of the Staff many people responded to the challenge given and rededicated their lives at the mercy seat. In true Salvation Army style the meeting concluded with the rousing song 'Joy in The Salvation Army'.
