In 1970 NCFI decided to form a region in the Pacific and East Asia. It was a pilot region intended to trial a pattern for the way NCFI would function in the future.
Miss Blanche Lindsay a staff worker from NCF Australia who was a member of the NCFI Executive Committee at that time was asked to take up the position of Regional Coordinator.

Twelve countries in the region were represented - Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Sabah, Malaysia, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Korea, Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand, and The Philippines. The conference was a great success and plans were made to continue with outreach and development of the region. |
