Soo Loh, MSI Hong Kong-If God is willing, the support of my TSF (lately increased by $330 to cover additional medical checkup cost to monitor my kidney condition) will raise to 100% by December 31, 2009. In that case, I should be able to make arrangement in time to leave for the next Orientation Course in February in Singapore.
Regardless whether I get to leave in January or not, I plan to quit from my job then at that time.

Larry & Bella Mori to Japan - A Hong Kong short-term mission team came and many brothers and sisters of Soka Church were so touched by their powerful testimonies and the mime that many were in tears! We will start remodeling the church on September 29th and it will take about two weeks. Please pray for God's protection over Mr. Otomo, a Christian builder, and his crew and also for good weather. The Sendai Church will celebrate their 20th anniversary in October. Please pray that God will continue to bless them in reaching the northeast of Japan.
