各位代禱勇士，收信平安！
距離上次寫中英文代禱信已經三個多星期，上次跟您提起那個嘴角上痛了六個月的瘡疱，在我寫完代禱信後，它就開始乾掉了。感謝主，祂垂聽我們的禱告。
Dear all,
It has been more than three weeks since I last wrote to you. The six months old sore that I mentioned in the letter started to dry out right after the letter was sent. Praise the LORD for He always listens to our prayers.
Sandy和Kellen已經回台灣兩個星期了。這兩個星期我們忙著上聖經課程、看醫生、整頓住處，也已經向我們的差會台灣動員宣教協會做了事工報告。感謝神大有憐憫，這些事都在規律中進行，尤其能在大忙之前完成整理整頓。接下來兩個星期，Sandy有非常密集的課程要學習裁縫，也開始有講台的分享。
Kellen & I have been back to Taiwan for 2 weeks. We have been busy taking Bible classes, visiting our doctors, tidying up our place, and debriefing to our sending base, TMM (Taiwan Mission Mobilization). Because of God’s mercy, all the tasks have been being done about time, especially the job of tidying up can be done before I get extremely busy. In the coming two weeks, I am going to take very intensive sewing classes. And we are going to start sharing messages in churches.
人在新幾內亞時，心中十分掛念年邁的父母。現在人在台灣，心卻在新幾內亞。想著今年上半年忙碌著募款時，做了一個SK2代禱牆。我們像是約書亞派出的兩個探子，不是只有兩個人，而是眾多弟兄姐妹以代禱與我們同工。我連牙齒裂掉都會寫信讓您知道。如今我們可以一同向神獻上感恩：
一、神讓我們在首都的華人教會有美好的團契。
二、神為我們預備了最適合我們的住處。
三、神讓我們與梅尼濱海浸信會有美好的配搭。
四、神讓我們在威瓦克有呂底亞。房東很照顧我們；牧長很支持我們；我們也開始訓練同工。
五、神實現祂在今年四月26日放在我心中「多加事工」的異象。我們在威瓦克成立的「多加團契」有21位連下大雨都會來上課的學員。
When I was in PNG, I miss my parents very much. Now as I am back to Taiwan, I left my heart in PNG. Do you still remember that we made a SK2 Prayer Wall when we were raising the fund earlier this year? We have been like the two spies sent by Joshua. It was not only two of us. Many of you participated through your prayers. And I wrote to you to even let you know that one of my teeth broke. Now it’s time for us to give thanks to the LORD:
1. God enabled us to have sweet fellowship with the Chinese church in POM, the capital of PNG.
2. God prepared the rental apartment that was unbelievably perfect for us.
3. God granted us very nice co-operation with Meni Beach Baptist Church.
4. God gave us our “Lydia” in Wewak: our landlord took good care of us; our church pastors supported us very much; and we started training staffs.
5. God fulfilled the vision of “Mission Dorcas” that He had put in my heart on April 26th. In Wewak, our “Dorcas’ Fellowship” had 21 participants who would attend even in heavy rain.
按著人的條件看來，就年齡、健康狀況以及恩賜才幹來說，Sandy不配在新幾內亞服事神。只能順服神的呼召，自2011年來，一步一步跟隨主的引導，每一步都在呼求神，分分秒秒都在倚靠神，並且在一切大事小事上看見神的作為。然而，到現在還是有人在問：「妳為什麼要去新幾內亞？留在台灣不是比較安全舒適嗎？」飛機停在地上當然比較安全。但是，飛機被造並不是為了停留在地上。神呼召我們成為亞伯拉罕的後裔(基督徒)，我們就是萬國萬民的祝福。即使不成為跨文化宣教士，也應參與跨文化宣教事。
In human’s eye, I might not be very qualified to serve the LORD in PNG, considering my age, health, talent and gift. Anyway, I can merely obey God’s calling, follow His guidance step by step, cry for His sustention in every moment, and watch His hand in everything. However, even now I am still asked, “Why do you go to PNG? Isn’t it safer and more comfortable to stay in Taiwan?” Of course, it’s safer for a plane to stay on the ground. But it’s not what a plane is made for. God calls us to be descendants of Abraham ---Christians--- is to make us blessings of all nations. That is to become a cross cultural missionary or to get involved in cross cultural ministries.
「多加事工」只是國際華人動員宣教協會(CMMI)在新幾內亞開設立基地的第一步，我們要走的路還很長，敬請更多主內兄姐在各方面長期的參與及扶持。Sandy和Kellen從現在起到明年一月底都還在台灣募款。懇請各位牧長惠賜講台機會，也敬請各位兄姐協助介紹及安排Sandy和Kellen到貴教會、小組及團契分享異象。若是能行，敬請報名並撥冗參加十一月15日Sandy 和 Kellen在高雄聖光神學院主講的宣教體驗講座。
“Mission Dorcas” is merely step one for Chinese Mission Mobilization International to set up the base in PNG. We have long way ahead to go. And we would like to gather a lot more long term participations and supports from all churches and Christian individuals. Kellen and I will be raising fund in Taiwan until the end of January 2020. Please help us with opportunities to share messages in your church, cell group and fellowship. And please, if possible, sign up for the cross cultural mission seminar that will take place in Holy Light Theological Seminary on November 15th.
願愛我們的神得榮耀
All for Him
主內末肢
In Christ
