Myanmar beyond the <strong>Shan</strong> people, so we are currently review<strong>in</strong>g our m<strong>in</strong>istry <strong>in</strong> Myanmar. We might<br />

not be able to commit to the same level next year. However, we do look forward to receiv<strong>in</strong>g your<br />

budget and plans for next year so we know which area(s) we can cooperate <strong>in</strong>.<br />

Would you also be able to provide us with an update on some <strong>of</strong> the footsoldiers that we are<br />

currently support<strong>in</strong>g, so that we can pass the <strong>in</strong>formation on for our supporters to pray and give. In a<br />

report dated August 2000, Sai Philip mentioned that Nang Seng Kham who was m<strong>in</strong>ister<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Jorden<br />

Village, MuongYang Township was replaced by U Sai Hsam. Could you provide us with some more<br />

<strong>in</strong>formation about the reason for this change, and what Nang Seng Kham is now do<strong>in</strong>g? Can you also<br />

provide us with some background <strong>in</strong>formation about<br />

U Sai Hsam - when and how he became a Christian, about his m<strong>in</strong>istry and its results?<br />

Thank you so much for your help.<br />

Bless<strong>in</strong>gs, Signed/Low Yeow Mooi.<br />
