Another Big Signing

I just heard from Michael Oh, our missionary in Japan, that he can also join us for the opening Missions Rally on November 5 via telephone. He will give a truly up-to-date report on his work that we will broadcast over the sound system. Michael Cassidy will be communicating the same way from South Africa, leading us in prayer. I'm waiting for one more confirmation of special guests to report.

This is all part of the World Missions Conference, November 5-13. The Missions Rally is the opening event on Saturday night. It will take place in the sanctuary, and my goal is 500 in attendance. It will be followed by a dessert reception hosted by TIF (Tenth International Fellowship).

I also have on my desk, Ruth Hoover's brochure for the conference which you will find a slight departure from the previous editions, both in design and in the attention given to tying in the theme of the conference (Spiritual Warfare and Prayer: Advancing the Gospel).
