Dear all,

I would like to thank you for receiving, interceding and forwarding my letter. As my first letter to young readers was issued on May 7th, several churches have taken action among their Sunday schools. Furthermore, some teachers have searched TV news to get more information and encouraged their students to write to Pa-Pa God, interceding for PNG. Praise the Lord! Let's all participate in praying for PNG and look forward to God's performing His Power.

各位代禱勇士收信平安！

謝謝收到、代禱並轉發代禱信的您。4月24日神感動Sandy要寫代禱信給眾教會的年幼讀者，5月7日就發佈第一次的「巴布小話筒」。感謝神，許多教會在主日學推動代禱，也有主日學老師從新聞報導收集新幾內亞的資訊，讓學生寫信給天父爸爸，為新幾內亞禱告。福音乃是神的大能，讓我們一同舉起禱告的手，求神大大動工。

We have less than 1 and a half months left before our departure for PNG. Spiritual battles have become more and more real, and prayers more and more urgent. Praise the Lord for He gives more and more clear directions. Acts Chapter 16 says how Paul's mission team first traveled from Asia to Europe. As they witnessed for Christ at the river side, they were invited to the house of Lydia that became where the congregation gathered. This year is our first time for Sandy and Kellen to start the work in the town Wewak. Beside starting our Mission Dorcas under the tree or beside the market place, we should seriously pray to God for our "Lydia" .

距離出發日期7月4日剩下不到一個半月，屬靈爭戰越來越真實，禱告也越來越迫切。感謝神，祂的啟示也越來越清楚。使徒行傳第十六章記載保羅的宣教團隊第一次由亞洲進入歐洲，起先是在河邊佈道。有一位賣紫色布疋的婦女呂底亞，接受基督耶穌後，她的家成為接待使徒、團聚信徒的腓立比教會。我們這次第一次要在新幾內亞的城鎮威瓦克展開「多加事工」，除了在市場邊、大樹下佈道以外，我們也開始求神給我們「呂底亞」。

This May has become an over loaded month--- my white hair has increased significantly. Cramps on my leg that happen very often and severe pain due to Piriformis Syndrome have reminded me to rely on God more and upset myself less. God has used one of my own former sermons to reinforce me that the strength for serving the Lord is from the Lord Himself and the reward of being faithful is the privilege to serve the Lord. I should put aside what people might say as God gives clear guidance and I am willing to follow His Voice. Praise the Lord! His promises never shake. He is the source of our hope.

五月是極其操煩的一個月，Sandy的白髮明顯增加很多。頻繁的腿部抽筋以及劇痛到心臟加速的梨狀肌症候群都在提醒Sandy要少煩心、更多倚靠神。神也藉Sandy自己講過的一篇講道提醒我---忠心服事主的力量來自主耶穌基督，而忠心服事主所得的獎賞就是「忠心服事主」(提摩太前書一章12節)。只要專一聽主的聲音，先把人的想法放在一邊。感謝神，祂的應許安定在天，帶給人無比盼望。

I would like to invite you to remember my prayer requests:

1. May God inspire more and more Chinese followers of Jesus Christ to become blessings for PNG with a pure heart like children.

2. May God grant "Lydia" in Wewak that is willing to work with us.

3. May God give Sandy & Kellen good health and protect our families.

以下代禱事項敬請您常常記念：

1. 求神激勵更多華人主內肢體以小孩一樣單純的心志成為新幾內亞的祝福。

2. 求神給Sandy & Kellen 在威瓦克樂意與我們一起同工的「呂底亞」。

3. 求神保守Sandy & Kellen 身心靈健康，也守護我們的家人。

神同在

主內末肢
