why not try regional EB's...???like for example ftalkers like me who lives in Rizal can have an EB with other nearby provinces(like in Ephe's place which is Lucena City,Quezon) and other provinces who are almost close to NCR(Metro Manila)...same goes with other parts of the philippines...by meeting in a certain place in which they think is reachable for them...and less expenses be made by each of us... for ftalkers who are in other countries, why not while we're having a certain EB in one place, we'll them be patched up via internet(we do this in our church often) to be albe to keep in touch with them despite of being very far away well..just an opinion...
