However, to allow time for recruiting her replacement, Pastor Wai Mui has graciously accepted the Board’s request to continue, on an interim basis, with her current ministry roles till August 31, 2022, or when the new staff arrives, whichever comes first. This will minimize any ministry disruption during the recruitment process. Please offer your continuous support to Pastor Wai Mui in her ministry among us.
