Dear All,
Peace be with you.
各位代禱勇士，收信平安。
What a Big Bonus from God
Thank you for walking along and working together with me. I have a big bonus to share with you: A young lady who attended our PNG Mission Workshop on 11th of May told me that she was inspired to start equipping herself to allow God to use her. As a 54-year-old missionary with no kids, for me this is really a big bonus from God, isn't it? Praise the Lord!
打開主包給我的大紅包
感謝您在主裡與Sandy同工同行。過去兩個月我們不斷地為「新幾內亞跨文化宣教工作坊」禱告。恩典的主不但保守五月11日的工作坊進行特別地流暢。甚至到現在Sandy還收到工作坊帶來的好消息：有一位來參加工作坊的年輕姐妹在工作坊中被神激勵，她決定要好好裝備自己，一生被主使用。Sandy真是感恩再感恩：想到自己現在已經五十四歲了，看到我的老朋友第一句話就是「妳的白頭髮好多呀！」。所求無多，但求餘生被主使用。無兒無女的我，能夠生命影響生命，多看到年輕人獻身給主，就是主包個大紅包給我了！真是快樂呀！
因為主的恩典，工作坊的學員當中也有基督教報社的記者，也有事後邀訪的記者。不擅介紹自己的Sandy發現，或許記者經過觀察消化之後，寫出來的東西更能幫助兄姐們了解Sandy在做什麼。敬請參閱以下兩個連結：
We Need Mangoes
Last Sunday I was sharing message in a tribal village in southern Taiwan and was given a lot of mangoes from the church there that was so full of God's love. " Lord Jesus! Please also send more MAN GOES to the mission fields as men are so much needed in mission tasks."
我們需要芒果
上個主日Sandy到原住民部落的ㄧ個教會分享信息。時逢當地芒果採收，由於教會兄姐的愛心，Sandy收到很多芒果帶回家，帶不完的由牧師幫助我寄來。「主耶穌啊！宣教禾場也很需要芒果---MAN GO---，可以多寄一些到禾場嗎？禾場上很多事情是要弟兄才行得通的。」
The two tiny coins
At the end of the sermon, I invited everyone to support me like watering a little seed been sowed in the mission field. No matter how little it is in amount. As long as being watered continuously, the seed shall not die from thirst.
Almost everyone attending the service gave me a little offering. Some of the envelops were loaded with coins. I felt like standing next to Jesus and listening to how the two tiny coins were making music in the heart of Him.
In 2017, as I was in PNG, I was once invited to give a talk in a village. The original church building of that village had collapsed and we had the service in a newly built church with no walls. After the service, the pastor gave me all the offerings collected that day to help our ministry in PNG. That was about 1.8USD. Yes. That was the two tiny coins from the church in a swampy jungle. That encouraged me again to become the two tiny coins and offer myself to the Lord.
是誰在撥動耶穌的心弦
分享信息快結束的時候，我邀請大家共同來支持宣教士：「我是一粒麥子，把自己埋在呼召之地。天父是我的陽光，聖靈是我的空氣，主耶穌是我的土壤。您的奉獻和禱告是我的養分和水分。不用一次澆灌很多，但要定期與長期澆灌，再少都可以保持麥子長好、結出許多子粒來。每位弟兄姐妹小額的長期奉獻可以讓這粒麥子不枯死。」
會後Sandy發現幾乎每一位出席的兄姐都為Sandy小額奉獻了。有幾個信封裡面是沉甸甸的硬幣。我彷彿站在主耶穌的身旁，聽見兩個小錢正在撥動耶穌的心弦。
2017年Sandy在新幾內亞的部落時，有一次主日受邀到一個村子分享信息。我到的時候，看見這個村子原本的教會倒塌了，牧師在一個新蓋的棚子裡教主日學。主日學結束後，我們就在這個棚子裡舉行主日崇拜。會後，牧師把當天收的主日奉獻全部交給我，是教會要為我們在新幾內亞事工盡上的一點心意。沒記錯的話，總共約有台幣50元。這個沼澤叢林裡的教會每個月有一周的主日奉獻全部捐給宣教單位。他們讓我看見主所喜悅的---捐得樂意的心。他們的兩個小錢不但撥動耶穌的心弦，也再次堅定Sandy把自己投入奉獻箱。
Please kindly remember me, your sister in the Lord, in your quiet time.
1. May God use me to inspire more young people and churches to send and be sent for the cross-cultural ministry.
2. May God send male missionaries to our team.
3. May God inspire brothers and sisters in the Lord to continuously support Sandy & Kellen.
4. May God grant us volunteers to help with supporting ministry.
